    ND Filter set recommendations for DJI Mini 4 Pro

    Community Based Organizations serve that purpose and more. When I first started flying I joined a Meetup group that meets once a month for a "Fly-In" and experienced pilots help the noobs. This past weekend I went to the wrong location due to a last-minute change in venue but found a guy there...

    Beginner needs in person training in CT

    Variable ND Filters

    Used EBay vs Renewed Amazon Replacement Battery

    That’s been my experience as well. The new ones go for anywhere from $101-115 or more on both, so the prices make me wonder. Thanks for weighing in. I appreciate you.
