    Samsung tab a tablet

    Sorry, not much help on the Samsung. I have always used iPads or my phone for flying. I current use an iPad mini for my Mavic Air 2. Great visibility. In full sun, the iPad's glossy screen can be a bit of a problem.

    Davinci Resolve 17, best free video editor

    I have used Davinci. Great application. I'm not a pro, but get some good post production work done. 4K video tends to challenge my i5 Dell laptop. For smaller projects, I use Splice on my iPad. There is a small subscription cost.

    How Stable is a DJI Drone

    For me it is not how stable the drones fly it is how the drone and gimbal work together to keep the video stable. I upgraded to a Mavic Air 2. I video sailboat races so it is typically a bit windy. One evening the wind was knocking the Mavic around quite a bit. The video was rock steady. BTW not...

    FAA Part 107 training/testing pushed to 3/16/21

    Thank you for the quick response. I fully understand about not being "current". I don't fly commercially. I got certified so I know I know the rules and to be a better remote pilot. I do fly in restruicted areas that I need LAANC approvals. I don't think I need to be "current" to continue...

    Thanks for the useful information. If I do not take the recurrence within the two-year time frame, do I need to take the full test or just the recurrence to reinstate my Part 107 privileges?

    FAA Part 107 training/testing pushed to 3/16/21

    Thank you for this info. Mine was issued on 3/10/2019. The license does not expire, but you lose the privileges, i.e. getting paid for my flights. Do you know if I would be able to take the online version after 3/10 and get my privileges of the Part 107 back or do I need to take the full test if...

    Snow day in East Texas

    Looks like a flat New England scene. More normal for us in the Northeast. Good luck and stay warm. It was 45 degrees in Rhode Island yesterday and expecting a 24 hour long snow storm starting today. New England weather....

    New pilot in UK. Learned some... but far to go yet!

    Welcome. I really like your idea of hanging a camera from a box kite. You really have the passion for flying. The Spark is great I had one for a couple of years. Good luck. Ask questions and you will have many responses that will be helpful. This is a great forum.

    unedited close quarter Orbit practise - more practise needed

    I'm not a purist and use active track quite a bit. When I do practice orbit manually, I try holding one stick, yaw, still by placing my thumb on the controller next to the stick vs holding the top (tip) of the stick. Slide your thumb over to the stick moving it to start your yaw, side ways...

    Flying the drone from a moving boat.

    i used active track on a Spark for this video of my buddy’s boat. I did not update home. For landing I manually land. We stop the boat first ?.
