    Mavic Pro boring for me once I learned I can't fly out of LOS

    I remember seeing a YouTube video of a Mavic with LED strobe lights attached. That should increase the distance in which it stays within LOS. Cheers

    Mavic Air or wait for Mavic Pro 2....

    The MP2 will be released the nanosecond I've committed to purchasing the MA. nanosecond = time between the light going green and the car behind you honking.

    Another finished Project with the Mavic Air - Nottingham

    Nice At 1:17 the straight down shot of the basketball court, it looks like the shadows are playing :)

    Our Lady of the Gate near Mayon Volcano, Philippines

    Looks like a lovely area for flying a drone. The church looks very unique. The video feels a little rushed. Could do with some slow-n-low clips (got that tip from this forum). Cheers

    Hopefully Im getting the hang of this.

    Excellent for a first flight. My first flight (and several others), I was in the beginner mode (it is my first drone). Cheers

    How do watch your 4K drone footage on your 4K tv’s?

    Yep . . . do the same. Use MP4 format. I remove the MicroSD card and put it in a USB adapter (came with the MicroSD card), and then plug it into the TV. I then sit down and curse my lack of flying and photography skills in 4K. I then unplug from the TV and put it in the computer to download...

    Rocks river - LUT experiments

    On my to-do list is recording in 4K D-Log with -1,-3,-3 (your using +1?) there is a free LUT at Ground Control Color for D-Log to Rec.709 that I believe is tuned for DJI D-Log (-1,-3,-3), This will be my first try at color correction and using LUTs. I can foresee myself squinting at the...

    Public Liability Insurance

    I've been asked to shot some drone footage by a resident of a retirement village (friend of the family). When seeking permission from the manager, they said I'd need to have Public Liability Insurance. The only public liability insurance I can find, is for commercial use only. Does any one...

    12th April 2018 - New CrystalSky firmware on the DJI CS website

    Feel your pain. I have the same issues (I have a Mavic Pro). You'd think that being that the CS unit is DJI hardware running DJI software, that you'd get a premium product experience! The only reason I'm still using it, is that I love the bright display and battery life. Cheers

    Video techniques

    I'm in the clips camp. I start recording . . . count to 5 . . . </insert majestic video attempt> . . . count to 5 . . . stop recording. The lead in-out time I trim in post. Gives me room to wriggle (transitions etc..) Cheers

    Cherry Lake - Altona VIC AU

    Opps . . . . I should have mentioned, that I cheated on the ending (timelapse). I needed to record longer than 30 minutes to get the sunset. So I sat/balanced the Mavic on a tripod. Cheers

    12th April 2018 - New CrystalSky firmware on the DJI CS website

    I was experiencing disconnects from the CS and the Remote on the older version. So, personally I'll stick with the current version. As the disconnects caused me too much stress (pressing RTH with fingers crossed). The artifact issue with the current version, for me, is not consistent. When...
