    Any good course in drone phtography?

    Did that course require a specific photo/video editing software, or could you use any?

    Any good course in drone phtography?

    udemy.com has a couple of very extensive online classes. "Drones: Learn Aerial Photography and Videography Basics" has 46 lectures - I'll start on that one. Some of these courses, including this one, are on sale for $10 bucks until January 11! This one was normally $99. This looks like a great...

    iPad Mini 4 - GPS function

    So I have the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0 - it fits the controller with ease, it has a great crystal clear high res screen, and it the GPS works perfectly and easily. Now to start flying... once the temp goes above near-freezing.... I added a "Supcase Unicorn Bettle Pro" case to it, and am going...

    Any good course in drone phtography?

    Anybody found any good online courses in this topic (both still and videography)? Now that we've got the tool... we need the skills and ideas. I see a few courses from here: udemy.com - but I don't know anything about them. Ideas?

    iPad Mini 4 - GPS function

    That does it, I ordered the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0. This would seem to be the best possible choice: - fits in the controller - GPS for Follow mode - super high res - will allow use of Tower later on.

    iPad Mini 4 - GPS function

    The Apple sales folks said that there is quote "no GPS" without a cellular or WiFi connection. I think they're wrong - who would design a device like that - and suspect they're just reading the specs on paper without thinking. But I need something that works now, to use in the remainder of this...

    iPad Mini 4 - GPS function

    The Apple sales people claimed this. l think they are wrong but the specs support them. They are probably reading right off the specs without any understanding. They aren't the "Geniuses". I also have a spare iPad Air, fully spec'd, 2 months old, that I'd like to use to save $$$ but it's not...

    iPad Mini 4 - GPS function

    Ok, so it looks like a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 8.0" (32GB) is the best choice all around.... Last chance for any other suggestions!

    iPad Mini 4 - GPS function

    This is a big problem... I just ordered a Mini 4 earlier today thinking it was the right thing. Based on this thread, I asked Apple sales support about the GPS on the non-cellular version, and they told me I would have to be connected to WiFi for GPS to work. That's ridiculous... the Mini4 has...
