So last week I was at the lake and was videoing some friends wakefoiling behind a jet ski. We were a rider short - I would usually have someone spotting when doing this but I figured "what could possibly go wrong?". I was port side, flying sideways. We were the only people in the area and I was...
While cruising a lake shore to establish a passing shot of a lake property, my advanced collision warning System started beeping, simultaneously, as I watched the drone on my controller hit and tumble through a tree. My last position on the flight log suggested that I had actually landed on the...
Earlier today I was flying my Mavic at a beach in Mexico. Everything was excellent, 14 satellites, 54% battery, clear video transmission. I was moving it slightly horizontally, but far from any obstacles. All of a sudden, I got "Aircraft disconnected" on the display, and the prompt about...
I flew my drone approximately 21,000 feet across the Hudson and received a warning that I needed to return home immediately so as to have enough battery life to make it back. My battery was at 40% and I spent at least another minute flying around the shoreline before returning. Long story short...
So I was flying my mavic on a pretty routine flight. Just getting a sunset shot over the confluence of the Columbia and Willamette rivers when about 6 minutes into the flight I got a connection error. I tried to reconnect and the Android app crashed, then I restarted the app and it could only...
This is a long story but here it goes.
I was flying the mavic pro over a quarry that has water in it. I was actually flying without my phone connected since it had been stolen a couple of days before, but didn't want to miss out on flying at this great place and recording. As I was flying the...
I must say, it was more difficult landing on the boat than I initially thought with obstacle avoidance turned on.
It was a bit unnerving at first, but I got used to taking off and manually landing on a platform 2' by 2'. And obviously, return to home doesn't work when the boat is constantly...
After going through all this mess with the Mavics 4K issues, I've finally found a good workflow:
1. It starts with filming in 2.7K, ISO100, 60-120fps using an ND16 filter, sharpness +1 contrast -1, saturation -1, color profile ART.
2. I've colorgraded the footage using mLUT from motionvfx...
Hi all
I'm a new Mavic Pro owner from near Glasgow in Scotland.
I got it last week and have had circa 20 flights now; really enjoying it.
I have previously built and flown fixed wing R/C aircraft and I'm loving the ability of just letting it hover if I want a few seconds break!
I bought it...
Shot some footage here a few weeks ago then we had some really heavy rain here lately. Returned to the location and was surprised. The footage with the boat unfortunately I forgot my memory card so that footage was from cache memory.
