Flying over the fog in the redwoods at UC Santa Cruz in California. Enjoy!

Thanks a lot! I appreciate it! Oh wow so you're basically a local haha. Yea I moved here almost 3 years ago and still can't get over all the beautiful views! Doubt I ever would...

Here are a few videos I shot on my Mavic. Hope you enjoy them! Visit Santa Cruz and Monterey Bay if coming to North Cal! Also visit UC Santa Cruz campus. Lighthouse and moonrise around sunset: Sunset on hills looking over the ocean (UC Santa Cruz campus): Ocean and waves:

The gimbal clamp! Is there a better easier-to-install thing that would keep the gimbal steady for transport? Every single time I put the clamp on I feel like I'm about to hit something sensitive, and even though I'm pretty sure I do it right (no pressure on it etc), it's still a huge hassle...

Hi everyone, I'd like to fly the Mavic on the coast, and over ocean/beach. I've read that VPS should be turned off for that, but is it necessary to do so if flying with 50+ feet altitude from the water? I'm new to drones so rather not turn off any position ing system unless I absolutely have...

Cool, relieved to know it's not important. Thanks guys! This forum is great! One more question, that is now unrelated I guess, but do you take off rockers before putting the controller in bag (if tight), or use plastic protectors that keep rockers in position, etc?! Sent from my iPhone using...

Hey guys, today I got a "wheel error" on the controller, while the app didn't show anything and drone's status light was normal. The controller was beeping very loudly. I restarted everything and the error went away, but it has me a tad concerned if there's anything wrong with the controller...

Btw (I posted the original question) I flew again today, reduce gimbal movement speeds and tried to yaw very slowly (which results in more cinematic and professional shots anyway) and the issue is completely resolved. I know that the reason (and ultimate solution for fast yaw) could still be in...

I know that camera/gimbal settings must suit the scene, usecase, audience, etc. and that they're quite subjective. But what are some common (non-default) settings that most of you might recommend having (for most drone scenes and for most people)? For example, I know that gimbal speeds can be...

I see, very useful tip; thanks Rob! Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots

I'm not a pro in editing so quite possibly I've done mismatches in that regard, but, all the jittering I'm referring to (eg 0:55 to 1:00) is present in raw output too. For further ref I did 4k 30 fps, and default for everything else. It was quite windy, so my theory was that gust like wind...

Thanks for the reply! Ah interestin. I was not using any filters and didn't set the shutter speed! So it's at automatic/default at 4k 30fps. Newbie question: what's a shutter speed for video? I do hobby photography and know shutter speed for photos obviously but not for video... Sent from...

Hey everyone, this video is my first flight. Just wanted to get your opinion on the jittering in some parts of the video. It was pretty windy, not too crazy, but I did get the warning couple of times. Is this normal? I'm still happy with the drone as my first DJI haha. Sent from my iPhone...
