    Do you save all those raw files from mavic pro from every flight ? External storage/ Buy cloud storage ?

    Awesome, is your PC and Desktop running RAID? I have a similar amount of drives on RAID5 and then a smaller NAS on RAID1. What's your workflow from SD card onwards? I currently do SD card -> PC -> eventually rotate them to NAS. but this process is mostly manual. The only automation I have is...

    New Zealand South Island Flying Tips

    Awesome, thanks guys for the tips. Looking forward to the overnight walks :) Do you know of any resources to check maps on where I can fly? I use airmap a lot in the states, anything like that for NZ? Cheers.

    Exploring Wyoming | Wind River, Breccia Cliffs, and the Grand Tetons

    Been trying to make short-format videos. I primarily do stills photography but recently added a drone to my kit so been trying to slowly add more time with it. First exercise is to take more video clips of the places I go. Second exercise is to actually edit and put them together! Anyways...

    Iceland - Mavic 2 Pro

    Great video. Iceland is so beautiful. Wondering why there are artifacts sometimes in the shadows and areas of high contrast? I thought it was over-sharpening at first but doesn't seem to be the case. I notice that in some of my videos too when watching on 4k... Anyways, great share and looks...

    uploading

    I believe if you post the link to the youtube video the forum will do the rest. Just as a test: Edit: I just added the youtube link to the video and it worked. If you wanted to manually do it you can use these tags, where the ID of the video is between the [] tags.

    New Zealand South Island Flying Tips

    Will be a spending a couple weeks this month in south island of New Zealand. This is purely a photography trip so I will have plenty of time to fly the drone, take photos, etc. Wondering if anyone has tips or suggestions on favorite locations to fly or shoot. My primary interest is landscapes so...

    Review of Mavic 2 Pro for Landscape Photography

    Thanks, I will keep that in mind :) Although a lot of times I need to use the fastest aperture to get light anyway (especially when shooting during sunset, sunrise). I use lightroom for editing raw photos, premiere for the videos.

    Smallest "Bag" For Mavic 2 Pro

    Yeah I have that bag right now, it came with the fly more kit. It is a bit bulkier than I want though. Don't really need the hand carry straps, extra padding, etc. And the leather makes it heavy.. :/

    Smallest "Bag" For Mavic 2 Pro

    Where do you stow the remote in the pouch? Inside the extra pocket? Looks like it's a snug fit! And yes, I am probably looking for something similar to that but without the extra straps, zippers, hooks, etc. Pretty much bare bones just to be placed inside the pack. I could sew my own or modify...

    Smallest "Bag" For Mavic 2 Pro

    Been hunting for the smallest / lightest bag for the mavic 2 pro + remote. Wouldn't call it a case because I don't really need much padding. Just a tiny bit to absorb shock of going up and down while walking. Use case is to put inside my backpacking / hiking backpack. Found this one here but...

    Review of Mavic 2 Pro for Landscape Photography

    Exactly my thoughts too. I didn't think I would be making any videos but when I tried it out, it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be! Thought that an old dog can't learn new tricks but I think DJI did a good job making it really easy to capture what you want. Learning how to use Premiere...

    Review of Mavic 2 Pro for Landscape Photography

    Thanks Dale, I use Adobe Premiere as well. I haven't tried any transitions that aren't included with the base software. For the last 3 images, the transitions used (in-order) are: Dip to black Cross zoom Cross dissolve For the video transitions, I mostly just used cross dissolve or dip to black.

    Review of Mavic 2 Pro for Landscape Photography

    All of those images are photos. Have the metadata in the captions under the full review but mostly I shoot f5.6-f8. Use auto ISO for the most part. Pretty much all the images are set to -1 exposure. I prefer to have the image darker and raised in post-processing instead of regular/over exposed...
