Hey there, I'll be flying to Brisbane Australia in a few weeks and I plan to bring my Mavic 2 Pro and batts as a carry-on with my fly more bag. Not too worried about TSA giving any problems when boarding in Seattle just wondering what I should be aware of when arriving in Brisbane and going...

Hi Pilots, here is my mavic pro video of Sydney! Comments and suggestions are always welcome! Thank you in advance.

It may not be so well known that the ACT, Australia has some spectacular scenery. Namadji is the only national park in the ACT. Enjoy, and comments welcome!

Hey guys I am from Adelaide and I recently bought my mavic pro. I've been looking places that is legal to fly but I can't find too much information. I am aware that I can't fly in national parks but thats about it Any tips or recommendations? Cheers

I am starting a sailing adventure this year, sailing to the Solomon Islands. This video is of a recent shakedown cruise and a test of my new spinnaker which I filmed with my MP. Also some epic drone footage of my girl on her SUP on Fraser Island, Australia.

I've only had the Air just over a week and have spent much of my air time so-far slowing down the sticks to my liking for smooth video and fine tuning the camera/video settings. Late evening test flight yesterday with a Pgytech ND4/PL Pro filter, much better results given the lighting conditions...

I live on a magical triangle island at the bottom of Australia. With a background in still Photography, I started out flying UAV in 2015. A frustrating start with a Walkera Scout, many repairs eventually taught me enough to build my own F550. It flew better and reliably but it still wasn't the...

Hi Forum, I work for CASA in Australia. We just finished this little video to help get the word out to drone flyers that rules apply when you fly, anywhere in Australia. Please feel free to share and get back to me if you have any questions. Thanks - Nick

Compilation of flights done near Hobart in Tasmania: Opossum Bay, river Derwent, Sandy Beach and last boats finishing the Sydney- Hobart sailing race. Tropical shots are from Cape Tribulation, Queensland ( nord-west from Cairns) where you can still meet the salt water crocodiles. Enjoy!!

If you've never seen a mob of wallabies (yes, that's what a group of wallabies and kangaroos is called), here's a 360 photo of a group of them foraging in a field outside Cairns, Australia. Looks like a bomb went off and wallaby shrapnel went everywhere. The great thing about the Mavic is that...

Hi guys, I've always found it very apprehensive when flying a drone, people stare at your a lot and sometimes the authorities get a bit annoyed, despite you abiding to all the local drone rules. I think that maybe the Phantom 4 was a too loud, and even then so is the Mavic Pro. (Mavic Platinum...

Hey guys, Just joined the community and I am extremely excited about becoming a pro drone pilot. Soon this year I will begin an Australian adventure around the continent with my drone. Need to prepare for that! SO...Sharing my FIRST EVER TRY with a drone (had a 10 min practice near the ground...

I recently bought the Mavic Pro. I will (hopefully) use it a lot on a 3 month trip next year to New Zealand (southern Island) and Australia. Due to work and bad weather I only had the chance to fly it a couple of times over here in the Netherlands. Love the sound, the feel and the level of...

Hi all!! My first video after getting my Mavic Pro a couple of weeks back and learning how to use it. Thought all you northerners with the snow would appreciate a nice 28C day footage :) Recorded in 4K 30fps and edited in Cyberlink PowerDirector 16, I am very new to the editing game so...

On a recent trip through the centre of Australia, I went looking for our little mountain goats at the top of Buck Hill on the NT/WA border between the Gibson and a Great Sandy Deserts with my Mavic.

This is a sailing video but there is some nice footage from my Mavic. I achieved a goal of getting drone footage while sailing solo, it was pretty nerve wracking bring the bird in to land while still sailing though!

Hi, I am from Australia and going to NYC at the end of the year for a few weeks holiday. Just by looking at the DJI website in different countries, it is clear that the DJI Mavic Pro on the Australian website ($1600AUD) compared to the US site ($1239AUD) it is clear that the drone is...

I took this today at 4K, and it took my Macbook Air a long time with lots of fans and bare bones progs running to process. A lot of effort and time. But is it worth it? I can not see hardly any difference between 1080 and 4K. Now it could be my poor eye sight or my low 1080 monitor, but I can...
