    Making Solo my Workhorse

    Problem #1: Have you looked into the Ground Station app for DJI? It's only available on iPads but it allows you to preprogram a flight and save it of repeated use later. I've used it with my Mavic to map a construction site and fly the same program at a later time. Ground Station Pro

    Some questions from someone who is pretty clueless

Cyberblitz addressed that one 3. The Fiilex AL250 attaches to a standard static gopro mount. Once in...

    Hello From Cliff in Tampa Florida

    It depends on what your end goal is. Are you flying for the sake of flying? If so, I like the back half (sand dune area) of Loyce Harper Park. There is a sign on the way in that says " No RC Planes" but I figure a quad is definitely not a plane and no one has ever said anything. If your looking...

    Hello From Cliff in Tampa Florida

    I fly all over the Central Florida area. I keep a notebook with me and make note of anything that I think might look interesting from the sky. That way, I always have a "shot list" handy if I get some spare time to fly.

    GoPro Karma Challenger...

    I won a Parrot Bebop in a contest and absolutely hated controlling it with my phone. Sold it for a quick $250 and stuck with my drones that have dedicated controllers.

    New GoPro Hero 4 firmware...

    I've changed it in flight. If you pull up the settings there is no specific mention of photo EV like there is in the GoPro app but changing the Video EV setting does effect the exposure of the photos. Here is an unedited comparison of two nearly identical shots were I changed the video EV...
