    Mavic 2 Zoom Remote ID

    DJI is coming out with a RID update for the Mavic2Zoom on or before December 31, 2023 and the FAA has given the Mavic2s an exemption until then. This is my understanding.

    About to buy a new laptop. Should which one I buy factor in to my drone hobby? I'm brand new to this......

    The problem I experienced with the HP OMEN was, it was a gaming laptop. It had dedicated key's that were for gaming use as well as all of the gaming settings and programs that were preinstalled that I had no use for. It took 4 months for it to arrive. I went thru setting it up, I liked the...

    About to buy a new laptop. Should which one I buy factor in to my drone hobby? I'm brand new to this......

    I thought Gaming laptop would be a good choice too. Turns out, gaming laptops are for gaming. I ordered a 17 inch HP OMEN with all the bells and whistles. Beautiful laptop but it was a gaming laptop and had problems with it and my editing software. I was using Premier Pro but have switched to...

    Why so much smaller file size after DaVinci Resolve render

    I don't know if it matters but I see that you are on a windows PC and have your format set to QuickTime. I think I set that to MP4 and don't use "Apple settings". I'm sure someone will correct me if wrong, that's what I love about this forum!

    Learning DaVinci Resolve 17

    I have a few recommendations. YouTube is loaded with tutorials. I highly recommend Casey Faris, he has tons of how to videos. Also go to the Black Magic website, a lot of educational material on there. I love to sit back and watch video but Black Magic has a 3625 page book on using Davinci...

    Poll: Why are you waiting to purchase a Mavic 3?

    Owning the M2Z has set the bar at a high level in regards to being able to put my drone up, perform my flight and return home safely consistently. The M3 does not seem able to provide that level of peace of mind. DJI in their haste to get their M3 out pre Christmas and ahead of their competition...

    Worth having both Mavic 2 pro and zoom?

    I have the M2Z and love it but do wish I had the M2P for evening flights. The 1 inch sensor does much better at night. Overall the pro produces higher quality pictures and video. For someone that just wants to fly and be able to zoom in on their subject when needed and have decent pictures and...

    SD card size - does it matter ?

    I own a Mavic 2 Zoom and the SD card recommendation from DJI says max size is 128 GB. Of course I use the correct format so on and so forth. My question is ... Why am I limited to 128 GB ? I have used some 256 GB SD cards and did not notice any problems. I noticed a local retailer had 512 GB SD...

    DroneUp acquires AirMap

    In Aloft, at the bottom it says "Flight Deck" tap on Maps and it allows you to move your indicator around to wherever you want to get LAANC. I like it much more than Airmap. But I do have both on my android S21ultra and carry an Apple IPad in my bag because nothing worse than not being able to...

    Mavic 3 range and time tests

    Nice Range test ! Checkout Dustin Dunnill on you tube. Yikes ! I could not do that with drones in the Mavic 3 price range not to mention what a bvlos fine could cost if you lost it. That area looks pretty empty, nice place to fly. Thanks for the share, it's impressive!
