    M3 v Air2S picture quality

    I have an Air 2S as my personal drone and an M3 Cine for my work drone. I thought and still do think my Air 2S images and videos are great but the M3 images and video footage blow me away. I'm not a super techy guy but there just seems to be a lot more detail and less noise especially in lower...

    3 Cycling event in South Carolina

    Covered a three day 252 mile cycling event in SC. Weather hosed the last day but still got some fun stuff. https://vimeo.com/728995420?embedded=true&source=video_title&owner=118628687

    Ravenel Bridge Charleston SC

    Welp the weather on the last day of the event thwarted my plans for the big bridge shot. I did get some fun stuff on the first two days. Here's a few of the aerial clips that will be in the video. I'll post it when we're done!

    Ravenel Bridge Charleston SC

    Thanks for the reply and yes i have my 107 certification. I bought/insured the Mavic 3 Cine through the company I work for. It is a company event so in a way i'm being paid. Welcome any other comments from folks that have tried flying near that bridge or any other super long, high bridges. The...

    Ravenel Bridge Charleston SC

    I am covering a cycling event that will be crossing the Ravenel Bridge in Charleston this coming Sunday. Several of the cyclists have asked for a group shot/footage via drone on the bridge. There are fairly large areas at the supports for the cyclists to gather. I could launch there but I'm...

    Impressions of M3 after 6 months

    I agree. My personal drone is a Mavic Air 2S. I love it but the camera on the Mavic 3 Cine (work drone) seems 3X better. Love the extra run time and not having to use my phone on the controller is great.

    U.S. Secret Service Visit

    I think it's impressive that someone can just throw a switch at air traffic control and your drone won't even take off. Super frustrating but i get it. This happened to me twice in Miami. One morning Obama was flying in so no dice. Then a couple of years later Trump flying in and hosed me again...

    Flying for DroneBase

    Thanks, everything you said occurred to me. And even though I was too late to accept the mission i had already gave it a big heck no in my mind. Aside from the risk, i would just feel slimy.

    Flying for DroneBase

    I started getting communications from Drone Base last year. Seems cool, you sign up and then you get assignments for drone gigs in your area. So I did, but then i read that they my Air 2s wasn't on their approved equipment list so i just forgot about it. I checked my personal email account last...

    Air 2s Milos and Kilomos Greece

    So glad I decided to take my Air 2S along on this trip to Greece. It's small enough to parcel out into my carry on. No hassles through security at all. Managed to get quite a bit of flying in without getting too much stink eye from my wife or anyone on the ground! I also did a lot of...

    New pilot who got confronted when flying, I need to check I'm in the right here.

    I just returned from Milos, Greece where i flew quite a bit. The coolest places to fly always had a lot of people, and if you wanted the water to be that awesome blue color you have to fly when the sun is higher. I would hike a ways a way from the popular area and then fly straight up and away...

    Mavic 3 issues

    I recently bought a Mavic 3 Cine for work purposes. The camera is amazing. But there are a few things i'm concerned about. First, the battery charger is super slow. I can put all three batteries (not even fully depleted) on early in the morning and that evening it's still trying to get it done...

    How do you handle people who tell you you're not allowed to fly your drone, when you know it's allowed?

    The only time i experienced anything negative was when i was flying over a skate park. One of the kids yelled "get that F'ing thing outta here!" and threw a shoe at my drone. I pretty much did what he said before anything escalated.
