#ISOJ2021 Last panel of the day happening NOW! Hear about how innovative technology is transforming the world of storytelling! @webjournalist moderates talk w/ @_woraya_ @nebulousflynn @rethahill @benkreimer @elitetruong. Watch: youtu.be/B7GG4LaJLPs
Good to know...
I recently discovered that the Mavic Air 2 does NOT support any waypoint mission planning (so no support for Drone Deploy, Litchi, Pix4D, etc) Not because it can’t, but probably to incentivize people to go up a tier to Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom for these more professional features

Seeing this idea in action always makes me smile.
✨Hiring: 3D generalist✨ I'm looking for an artist to come and work with me and the team on Viewfinder! We're developing a prototype and have 2-3 months of paid work available. You'll be taking environments like these and making them look good! Please drop portfolios below.

We really appreciate everyone's kind words about Hubs this week as we've been learning more about the changes at Mozilla. While we don't have all the details yet, we do know that Hubs is not going away and we'll be continuing to work on making the platform the best it can be.
Today's news was difficult and we're still learning how Hubs will be impacted with the restructuring. Hubs was listed among the projects that will be part of the new portfolio work and we hope to have more information to share about what this means for Hubs and Hubs Cloud soon.
