I was out of town. That was Lake St. Clair in Michigan.Great pic! Where is your boat?
I use Corel VideoStudio x8. I think they are on X10 now. It is a big learning curve, but you can put together some decent videos once you get used to it. I know I only use about 15% of what it is capable of.Whats the software yall use besides the dji editor on the phone.. Thats NO BUENO lol
Mansionpeople. :wall:Yeah yeah, I knew there’d be at least one guy to mention it.
Who let this guy in here?Mansionpeople. :wall:
Is the Mavic still the drone to get? Hoping for some Black Friday deals soon.
I did also find that DJI has education discounts of 10% with a school email address (for students or staff). Is that likely the best I can do?
Thanks!
Edit: This would be my first foray with a drone. Looking to do a little flying around the house, farm, and if brave enough some action shots at the lake. Maybe some following ATVs as well. Definitely amateur and personal use, so don't need pro quality. But, want to do it right, too.
While it's my first (and only) drone and overall I do like it. I have to say for the cost mine has been a bit buggy. I have had several lost connections in close distance (with direct line of sight). As a result, I had a couple of scares over water during this video.Is the Mavic still the drone to get? Hoping for some Black Friday deals soon.

WoW! I think your video was awesome!!! Great editing!!!While it's my first (and only) drone and overall I do like it. I have to say for the cost mine has been a bit buggy.

I did have a few mishaps (read: light crashes) early on so this may be a contributing factor.
I plan on using the extended warranty I purchased to swap the unit to see if the issues improve.
The Mavic gen 1 is still widely compnsidered to be the drone of choice if you want to do more than take selfies and want a collapsible drone that’s easy to transport. The Mavic 2 is quieter and has a slightly better camera I think but its not worth extra money to most and some of the noise reduction can be had just by putting v 2 rotor blades on the v1.
A quick search for Mavic on the Black Friday ad sites shows the best deals for the Mavic will be around $100 off or $899. That is at Best Buy, Costco, Sam's etc. A couple places have some bundles in the $1149 range with extras. Most of these places will sell online as well as in store. So no need to get trampled.Is the Mavic still the drone to get? Hoping for some Black Friday deals soon.
