Hi Ken! How are things in Hawaii? You still exercising the new Mini? My latest acquisition is the Mavic 2Zoom. It's results are extremely pleasing. You can see some of the results on the forum Lockdown here has been onerous, but we are safe enough at the moment. You too, I trust?
Aloha Roger,
Yeah, the Mavic 2 Zoom, I am torn between that and the Mavic 2 Pro, Mavic Air 2 and a P4 Pro V2, but I think that with so many of the other cameras offering such nice imagery, I would get the Zoom to. That zoom capability does really improve the offering since it is not available for other cameras except in post. How many hours after the flight is that!
Hawai'i is actually doing very well in a Country that is doing so badly. It is like we are a different country. Hawai'i has the lowest daily cases and the lowest total cases in the US. Our deaths are also second from the least, only Alaska has less - and that is probably because Alaska has their own refrigeration capability just out the door! Everyone else has to get refrigerated trailers! How is that for gallows humor!?!
Lockdown has actually been good for me. I have been able to have a vacation of sorts, a long vacation. Considering how much work I do since I stopped working, it was a welcomed vacation. But flying has been tricky. This global warming and climate change has really screwed up the weather here. Fortunately, I get a daily forecast at a neighborhood level. I just did a survey and expressed my appreciation for how bold they are for attempting such a precise exercise. Unfortunately, that does not make the flying weather any better.
My birds are showing their age. My P4 Remote Controller needs a new battery / charging system and I flew into the mountain with my P4 Pro, so now I have a spare Remote Controller, bummer. I am thinking about getting the Version 2 so I can use my Goggles with OcuSync, but it turns out that I can also get the zoom with OcuSync. But, the P4 Pro V2 has 20M and the zoom has 12M stills. How cool would it be though, to wear goggles that you can zoom with - you may be persuading me! Still, I like the 20M photos of the P4 Pro V2. Oh, decisions, decisions!
But the pandemic is here! What if I die tomorrow! I should at least leave something for the survivors to fight over! Oh well!
Take care and be safe!
Aloha and Drone On! |
