You can fly from a boat on one of the rivers and designated model airplane flying areas, I know of only one in Flushing, only way to take off legally in NYC. However airspace around Trump Tower is most def a NFZ and especially now likely to be impossible to get clearence to fly without lengthy...

I can see the spiders parachuting out of the bird on her new maiden flight

I believe DJI has stores and authorized dealers maybe even repair centers in various countries in Europe, I really don't think you have to send it to China. The X3 camera is okay, just okay specially by today's standards, it has a fairly wide field of view and would give you more or less that...

I don't think the SLR Magic works same way as the Laowa, I actually have it but haven't used it yet, but from all accounts I read the lens will not be recognized at all unless hot swapped on either the X5 or X5R. Does the Laowa focus work?

I thought I had answered this post, but maybe it was in another forum, and yes if you pull the battery there will be no power for the retraction to occur and it will allow you to balance it, try and set the zoom midway just in case the balance gets thrown off. I have trouble with my zoom, gets...

power up the bird with lens on, once extended pull the battery without powering down, lens will remain extended so you can do your balancing act.

The flyer and other way of advertising suggestion above is very good, I was thinking of it before I readit. I would make sure the target company gets a mailing, email, even a personal visit where you inform, describe, suggest the law and the need for insurance etc etc specially considering it is...

why don't you try DaVinci Resolve, you might have better results, did you use CineLight with High Sierra? or another older OS? maybe you should go back one, I guess to high Sierra also, this kinda sucks.

I find the zoom to not be usable for smooth video so I adjust exposure when I settle on a focal length whether for stills or video.

OK what if for one reason or another the battery is bad, according to my research it shouldn’t be, but on the outside chance that it is, would you take it back?

It should be about as harmless as letting the battery totally run out when cycling, I wouldn’t try to insert the battery powered up, but removing it should have no consequence.however I accept no liability for any damage to anyone’s craft caused by this action ?

Remove the battery so the power goes out completely before the lens does its retract thing

Wow dude, you are absolutely right and I never thought of that always flying over water with no way of having that kind of distance, and actually once having battery issues on the way back from a one mile flight, well two miles round trip. In fact on landing the bird was about a meter off and I...

typical of DJI to say that!:p
