    Flying at Jetty Island near Everett Marina in WA

    I think VideoStudio X10 is okay. The best thing is it runs well on my HP 2-in-1 laptop/tablet, running Windows 10. It is nice having a very portable setup to edit video. It works well editing 4K and 2.7K files into a video, but I think the color controls and brightness-contrast-gamma controls...

    Longboard Riding at Maryhill Loops Road

    Thanks! There is a lot for me to learn how to use this amazing tool. I think that is a big part of the fun.

    Longboard Riding at Maryhill Loops Road

    Filmed a longboard skateboard riding event at Maryhill Loops Road in Goldendale, Washington. Maryhill Loops Road is revered by longboarders, including my son. So this was a great opportunity to do some exciting flying and filming. I found it quite challenging, trying to film rapidly moving...

    Some mountain biking vids

    As a fellow mountain biker, I can totally appreciate your second video of the riding!

    RTH or fly home?

    Also the same here, I always fly home manually. Haven't pushed the RTH button yet. I think flying and landing manually is a big part of the fun!

    Buy a Mavic Pro now or wait?

    I live near 60 Acres Park in Redmond, and do a lot of my flying practice there. Since it is off-season for youth soccer, the fields are available for RC use just about every day of the week. I see other quadcopter users there also. I think that changes in June when soccer picks up.

    Buy a Mavic Pro now or wait?

    I ordered the Mavic Pro in February direct from DJI when their shipping wait time dropped down to 1-3 days. I live in Seattle area also and managed to fly it 30 times in the month of March, despite the weather. The unit has worked perfectly so far, including flights over water. Hope you have fun!

    DO NOT REGISTER YOUR DRONE HERE - IT IS NOT THE FAA SITE

    Hey, they claim a UDI818 has to be registered, but it only weighs .26 lbs. Seems like scamming to me.

    Combination Stick Command...a bad thing?

    If one wants to do banked or coordinated turns, both sticks need to be used. I think most of the time, people won't be trying to brake hard in the middle of a turn, while trying to drop altitude.

    Nothing but problems

    I'm using a locked LG Stylo 2. Bought it from Amazon for 90$ just to use with the Mavic, and it works like a charm so far. Haven't run into any issues yet. The main thing was I had to learn the easy way to bypass activation. It's actually a pretty nice phone.

    1st Time Drone Owners

    After seeing a neighbor kid having fun in the front yard, I started out with a inexpensive UDI818, and made a progression through the Hubsan models before I got the MP. The good thing about flying the inexpensive drones is I can practice flying in my backyard around trees, and not worry about...
