    Air 2 Fall colors just not same this year

    We hit peak two days ago, a lot more yellow and orange than normal. I live in northern Vermont on the NH border, the color is on its way to you.

    2 days left for the Fall Foliage Photo Contest!

    Thank you to all who have participated in and mostly to those who have hosted this Foliage Contest. This has shown me that I have much to learn if I aspire to post pictures worthy of comparison to many of you here. I didn't realize the vast difference in quality and clarity of normal, unaltered...

    Fall Foliage Photo Contest. Prizes for top 6 entries.

    Auto settings on Mavic Air with no filters, (haven't figured out which ones to buy yet) Around three in the afternoon taken on the northern Vermont - New Hampshire border in the Connecticut River Valley. I took so many pictures it is difficult to sort through them, my wife says I didn't post the...

    Shots around Berlin NH

    Where those taken approximately three weeks ago? The sky looks similar to photos I took in Stark around then, milky due to forest fire smoke drifting in from out west at the time.

    Huawei phone mavic

    In my experience, the larger the screen the better. I have an iPhone 6S, but moved to an iPad Mini 4. It is far easier for me to see the controls and what the quadcopter's camera records. I would suggest you buy the phone that best works for your life and your budget, flying the drone as a hobby...

    Greetings from Northern Vermont

    After a very nice weekend full of sun and temperatures actually above 40 degrees Fahrenheit, I have probably been lulled into a false sense of hope that spring has finally arrived. My wife and I removed the snow chains and snow thrower attachment from the tractor, and I am having the studded...

    Greetings from Northern Vermont

    I am not sure if there are other companies, from the research I did State Farm seems to be the best option. I opened a stand alone policy as my house and vehicles are already insured with a different agency. I just needed the peace of mind in the event my drone becomes unrecoverable...

    Greetings from Northern Vermont

    Welcome to Mavic Pilots, nice to see another North Country person here. If you look into getting insurance on your Mavic Air, I would recommend Brad Bailey (State Farm) out of Littleton N.H. He is licensed in Vermont and was very helpful and responsive to me, unlike the clown out of Derby...

    Hello from the Connecticut River Valley in northern Vermont

    Hi Leftyyyy, I am about and hour up the road from you about 10 minutes north of Groveton N.H. on the Vermont side. Flying time has again been delayed due to the snow and cold, but I agree with you about looking forward to the green and losing this ugly melt scenery.

    Hello from the White Mts of NH

    Welcome to Mavic Pilots! I live in northern Vermont right on the Vermont / New Hampshire border. If you decide on getting insurance for your drone as I did, I recommend Brad Bailey (State Farm) out of Littleton N.H. I purchased the Mavic Air fly more bundle with goggles and it is fully insured...
