    The Finnish archipelago from up above

    Oh did I enjoy this day out with my boat and my mavic! Had to land the Mavic on my boats roof, now that wasn't something I want to do again! Pretty tight (not on the video).

    So it happened, my first crash.

    Yup, it was a known weakness when buyin, but it really wouldn't hurt. And thanks!

    So it happened, my first crash.

    Yep, it finally happened, after a few close calls. Crashed my Mavic to a tree flying backwards. Luckily it came down and it was fine after changing the propellers. Sturdy little thing. I did do an emergency motor shutdown the moment I realised what happened. Just remember to keep your eyes on...

    A sunny spring day by a concert hall made of glass and wood

    Hi, I spent a quick half hour in Lahti, Finland by the Sibelius House. A really sunny day with huge brightness. I liked the lake mirroring from the glass surface of the concert hall and the boats waiting for the ice to melt.

    Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet compact with the Mavic -works!

    Nope, it fits horizontally, it's snug, but it fits. Just find a video with someone attaching an iPad mini, it works the same way.

    A Finnish National Park, with snow and (camp)fire

    Did a short trip to the "wild", ie. a national park in Southern Finland. Almost perfect flying conditions with practically no wind at all. Really fulfilling to be able to shoot these scenes from up above and using the Mavic as a steadycam from time to time, in tripod mode. The opening scene and...

    A night scene with my own music

    Mostly on auto as far as I remember... Did limit the iso to 3200 and still it was really noisy.

    A night scene with my own music

    Hi all, flew around this nicely lit church the other day, around midnight. The weather was misty and cold and the scene was very mystic to me. It inspired me to try out my capabilities as a composer as well! I wanted to catch the atmosphere of the scene to the music while I wasn't able to find...

    An experiment with the Mavic and audio capturing

    I wouldn't go through too much trouble trying to attach any audio recorder to the drone. Better off using a separate device separate from the drone, there's hardly any use for the propeller noise. I could see someone doing a stand-upper while facing the drone somewhere up and talking to a mic...

    An experiment with the Mavic and audio capturing

    I use Adobe Premiere Elements 15 for editing, just imported the audio to my project and used it on the audio track.

    Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet compact with the Mavic -works!

    Hi, just wanted to post this, if someone was wondering and googling for the same info. I use the Sony Xperia Z3 tablet compact (what a name) with the Mavic controller, and it fits! The same way the iPad mini. It is really tight, but not uncomfortably so. The right side can accidently flip the...

    Thanks, it is worth a second visit when the leaves start growing, indeed!

    An experiment with the Mavic and audio capturing

    Hi twinchrissy, First, I started recording on both the Mavic and audio on my phone. Then I simply turned the drone to record me and clapped my hands together with a large movement, like they do with a clafferboard, making sure that the moment of impact could be clearly seen on the video. At the...
