Hey there Mavic Pilots,
I have often enjoyed lurking around these forums and absolutely loved the community here; you folks are incredibly helpful and so earnest and passionate about this lovely hobby!
Anyway, I have been breaking into flying since early January when I got a MA2 with Smart Controller, plus a pair of DJI Racing Goggles (to HDMI into from the SC). So far absolutely love the experience! I feel like I actually cannot enjoy flying without the Goggles strapped to my face haha! There is something surreal about looking at the world from the drone's "eyes".
I grappled a lot between the Mavic 2 Pro and the Mavic Air 2, but eventually decided upon the MA2 purely because of the 4k60 video capability and AT3.0 (we have one hell of a time having the drone track our kids running around!). I wish they had given the M2P 4k60 capabilities, I would have bought it. I think I will patiently wait for the Mavic 3 at this point
since my main use-case is less of photography and more of video, however lately I have been getting into the former as well.
A question for you folks: I have been using the Freewell ND filters, and still learning about using the right filter for the right light conditions. I have also been reading that some people don't bother using any ND or Polarized filters... so do they just fly the drone with nothing covering the camera? Am I understanding this correctly? Because all I received with my package was a frame of sorts with no "lens" in it; it twists off and I use the appropriate ND filters given how cloudy or sunny the conditions are.
Also, anyone from MN, please do say hello! I am in the suburbs outside of the Twin Cities!
Cheers
