Why don’t more people use Drones?

There is a setting you can change on the Mavic to allow the camera to tilt more upwards. It under the camera settings and then under the advanced settings. Side to side is a not an option unless you have the the goggles.

I do utilize my Mavic Air when others are shooting but rarely when I am shooting or spotting. Ill setup a GoPro extremely close behind a rock for gong footage and the drone can circle above. The Air has the slow-mo filming which isnt slow enough for a bullet but still is neato.
Right now I see drones in the ELR/LR scene as a way to paint a bigger and better picture of an event or impressive shooting day not so much to call shots.

Thanks to Juggerxxx for his tip. I enabled the up-gimbal today, and used my Mavic Pro as my spotter, on a table close to but off center-line of the target, safely protected by my sheet of steel. It was just really cool to take a shot at 625 on my rpr 6.5, and look to my left to watch on my iPad as the bullet impacted the splatter target. Maybe I am just easily amused

I’m glad that helped! So many fricken options of the Mavic it is so hard to know them all.
Have you found the sound recording option yet?

The Mavic pro has a really Good camera but I never thought to use it has a spotter.

Just be REALLY sure to protect it with a piece of steel or something. I have already got that t-shirt! I tried rigging up an FPV camera system OTHER than my MP, and the picture quality and transmission distance were @#$%, and could not handle the 600+ yards. With the MP, NO prob. Just don't shoot it!
