Hi all,
I'm planning to do some offshore flying from the Big Island in 2020 and I'm looking for some local knowledge so I can better plan my trip.
1. Are there times of the year that I should avoid flying because of weather/wind?
2. I've read some threads about taking off/landing from boats...
Good morning Mavic pilots
This is my third instalment of my SST Tsimshian Warrior series. I have been following this tug since it arrived in Canada after being built in turkey
I finally had the chance to film her working. Although she was built primarily to escort and assist liquified propane...
Not jet a drone owner, but soon to be (next week). I'm a photographer (and carp fisher) in heart and got bitten by the drone virus after having working offshore with some drone flyers.
Used the Mavic 2 Zoom a couple times, which was a little challenge while working on a offshore vessel.
The...
Interested in trying to get some footage of wakeboarding behind my boat, can anyone recommend the best way to get close to the action?
The boat travels at about 35 km/h, I’ve found when I manually fly it I can’t keep a steady/ smooth speed with the joysticks (when the boat hits choppy water...
Here is a cautionary tale for boat take-offs. I had permission to fly my Mavic Pro from the back of a ferry in the Mediterranean. I had hoped to fly around the vessel to practice getting some stills and video while at sea and I was given a clear deck space at the rear of the ship with railings...
Hi all,
Rockie pilot here from Barcelona. I'm sailing in a research vessel (full of metal and electronic instrumentation) and willing to take some footage with a Mavic Pro. Most of the vessel locations with enough clearence to take off show magnetic interference warning, but I found a spot...
Hi,
I am experimenting with Mavic Pro on a boat using a wide-flat netting and having DJI propeller guards fitted to Mavic.
The proof of concept was to land and launch the Mavic from the boat netting with the downward sensors switched off. The netting helps to cushion off the roll, heave and...
Hi there,
With models like the Phantom, I've once read that you could launch the drone from a moving ship if you set it to Atti mode instead of GPS, to avoid the drone hovering away.
I was wondering, would such a thing be possible to achieve with the Mavic Air? I recall it doesn't have an Atti...
This is a short trailer of the SLSGB IRB Surf Rescue Championships held in Exmouth in September 2017 the full films will be released towards the end of November 2017 so don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE so you don’t miss out!
I live right next to this marina. I could have sent my Mavic out to shoot this fire, but thought it might be a distraction or even illegal. (This isn't like a massive wildfire with an NFZ obviously)
I am still new to the hobby and trying to learn the law and what's ethical. I have no real...
Any feedback will be appreciated :)
This is my first time flying the drone over the lake (I got it last week), as well as using active track with a boat!
This is also my first drone video edit, how did you guys like it (especially with being synched to the music?)
Thanks :D
From a trip with the family in a small town called Bud in Norway. Had to try out the new firmware .500.
The phone battery seem to drain much less now with the new firmware. But on the down side. The live feed has become horrible. The picture is lagging a lot, not smooth at all with all kinds...
Three weeks ago I was whale watching in Los Cabos on a small boat. No adequate space for take off/landing, so I decided to do a hand release (not the first time I was doing that, but certainly the first time on a boat with wind and waves).
Turned off the downward VPS and left the front...
