    DroneViewer released for Mac and Windows

    I personally hate subscription-ware! 😖 DroneViewer's license fee is a one-time charge. And, yes, it works with DJI Mini 2. See the DroneViewer website for a list of compatible drones and action-cams. You can always try it for free. John

    Have you ever encountered a Law Enforcement Official (LEO) while flying? What happened?

    Not exactly law enforcement, but similar... Back in 2015, when flying a drone was like the Wild West, I had the urge to fly my Phantom 2 around the circumference of the 1.2-km diameter Meteor Crater in Arizona. I researched the best location to launch from such that I could conduct this...

    "DJI Viewer" - new software for DJI drone video playback

    @Reflexeye Yes, you can use the Export to KML button to write a timed-trajectory of your flights to Google Earth! Here's an example from my Mini-2 flights, @Chaosrider :) BTW, this thread has been superseded by the newer thread here. Thanks -wanderer

    Mavic Air2 versus Wave - it didn't go well

    Thanks. Yes, that describes me. I've flown from this bluff many times and was running out of new filming ideas. Somehow the crazy idea of flying backwards, fast and very low, just ahead of a large crashing wave stuck in my head. I had to have THAT shot! Earlier in the video, I did achieve it...

    Mavic Air2 versus Wave - it didn't go well

    Not sure if I was in Sport Mode at the time, so OA might have been off. >Turn grid lines on in camera settings . . . # Ah, I hadn't thought about turning on the gridlines. Good suggestion @MAvic_South_Oz and should work if the gimbal is straight ahead. Given enough lead time and practice I...

    Mavic Air2 versus Wave - it didn't go well

    The City of Huntington Beach does not allow drone takeoffs/landings on the beach. So I launched from the bluffs which are about 30-feet above the beach. This makes judging the height of the drone above the water very difficult using VLOS alone. If I was allowed to control the drone from the...

    Mavic Air2 versus Wave - it didn't go well

    I'm kicking myself. My MA2 is now resting in Davy Jones locker due to my own foolishness. 😠 I was going for a low-altitude pullback shot of a large breaking wave. I misjudged the height of the drone and the wave clipped my poor MA2, disoriented it, and sent it plummeting. +1 for Pacific Ocean...

    DroneViewer - PC/Mac software to view your drone video and flight data simultaneously

    Yes, if you can convert your data to GPX you should be able to import it into DroneViewer. Make sure the base filename is the same as the video base filename so DroneViewer will associate the video with the GPX file upon load of the video. You may need to manually sync your GPX data with the...

    DroneViewer - PC/Mac software to view your drone video and flight data simultaneously

    Normally the filenames are incremented with each flight so I haven't run into this issue. However, I think I know what would be causing it and I'll look into it. For now, please manually change the MP4 filename and you should be good. Thanks for reporting it!
