I don't the Z-Axis will go on the mobile, you cannot remove the mount like the other Osmo units. You can get Zen M1 for mobile and gopro. It's why I went with an Osmo. Long term many more options.

Wishing all luck on this. We stopped vacationing in Stone Harbor after the banned kites/kite surfing. Took our $$$ to the outer banks.

Got them yesterday, what a great deal! Thank you!

I live near BWI and have flown out by Ft McHenry from our dinghy. The Airspace from BWI clears just North of the Lansdowne Light Rail station along the Patapsco. Basically it ends at W. Patapsco Avenue. This is the 5NM from BWI tower. It's the innermost circle.

As long as you don't mind a short drive to fly, why not? You're just not going to buzz off for a quick flight from your backyard. There are plenty of great places to fly in the region, just outside the 15 NFZ. When it was 30 it was a nightmare but the 15 is workable. Get yourself a good...

It's good to see the news on this. I did not update my mini as I was concerned about the GoApp and iOS10. I had already done my phone and have learned the new quirks of iOS10. So far though, iOS 10 has been great and to date the best mobile OS I have used. I am thinking of getting a Pro...

I was wondering about the lag. A GoPro has some serious lag as-is. I wonder if they fixed that in the 5? Does the Karma do something else like the live feed using USB and then crank up video on the Karma to reduce lag? I guess until some are in the field, we won't know. The system approach...

I had a similar issue last week and took a lot of reading, followed some of Phantom Helps advice ( thank you sire ) and did this; Delete the most recent version of your firmware on your PC. Copy any photos/videos off the SD card that you want to keep. Format the SD card using Windows 7 or...

Maybe DJI will take a clue from Apple and offer the Phantom 4s before there is a Phantom 5 and make sure to change all the connectors, battery pack, props and of course it must come in 5 different fruity colors. I am sure we will see the Phantom 5 next Winter or Spring like the 4 came out...

I've done this a few times this Summer. Our boat is about the same size as the OP pic. I have launched from the aft deck and done a hand catch. Our back stay is split all the way to the masthead so it is easier for us. My actual preference is to launch and land from the dingy. It's faster...

I looked at youtube and yes, there are videos, it still would be nice to see a report on impact in various conditions. Once there is knowledge to educate, then a responsible governance model can be put it place. Just like the one the USCG did on head chemicals on boats years ago. An entire...

I'd like to see an independent study ( maybe someone here has a link? ) that shows the effects our quads have on wildlife etc. Government heavy hands are not being held accountable here with evidence. Four sure something when low and close but when your 300 feet up, the noise is like wind...

Remember that bad behavior is acceptable for the greater good and the politically connected are exempt from anything. Not surprising having watched how the political elite and unions of this area spin every word they say. Over the past 50 years I have watched Baltimore sadly decline, this is...

If you could do Alaska, I think the geography would be great! My first plans for our circumnavigation had us going into Alaska and now three versions later, it is back on for Summer 2021. If you can slip over to Thailand it is supposedly amazing to shoot there too. Avoid the southern...

Well it is called "Harpers Ferry" for a reason. :) I think Whites Ferry along the C&O is still active. Most of the others are long gone. It would be cool to shoot that but you'd have to shoot from the VA side only.
