While I haven't owned any other drone to compare, I think the Mavic is quite incredible - the combination of compactness and ability is brilliant. Being able to take something in a small pack that can fly kilometres away and handle quite windy weather is really useful if you enjoy documenting your trips or just having an excuse to get out and about more.

It's not a drone-specific account, but I put up a few photos and videos here: https://www.instagram.com/isaacforman/



Nice! You have some great shots on there.

Must be great having access to such photogenic territory. I like this kind of understated scenery!

I bought my drone while in the US and first flew it in Utah, but not enough. Misunderstood the settings on one of the early flights and it drifted into a tree - that scared me off further flights until I got home!


yeah all the different settings can be a little overwhelming. I'm constantly in awe I'm able to take photos of stuff that basically ten years ago+ you needed a damn helicopter for.


Question, are you using a lens filters on your Mavic's camera, or solely adjusting colors after the fact?


I bought PolarPro Vivid filters and have tried them once so far, but it was quite cloudy. Yet to try them with a lot of sun/glare.

Otherwise just flying raw and then fixing in LightRoom. By default, the raw shots come out very blasted and unlike what the eye sees.
