can you upload videos to your mac? And can this fly indoors as well as outdoors?

Yes, the pictures and videos can be uploaded to a mac. On my Mac, I had to find the quad (untitled) in finder. Then, I highlight all the pictures as a group. Next, I click on iPhoto and go to file, import to library. Then do the same for the videos. Onto your second question. Outside, you do have more space, but you also have to worry about the wind. As I stated in my review, it is very lightweight, so the wind does toss it around a bit. It flies normally with little to no wind. If there is some wind or it's gusty, that's where mode 2 comes in. It makes it more sensitive to the directional stick, which gives you a little more control in the wind. I hope I answered your questions your questions with this response.

My son and I have always found it better to fly in between indoor and outdoor locations. There seems to be greater risk of damage if you drift to far to either location. Once we almost made it outside but the gravity seemed to pull the drone down. Inside where the gravity is lighter and the breeze a little less it is much safer. We only download in our house as we have indoor plumbing so I don't understand the Mac question.

windows is OK - heat MAC OK too.. You can fly both indoors as well as outdoors although its a little larger than you think but will do it. Video better than expected. Photos not so much.

After you do this, you may have some trouble viewing and editing the video on your mac, but there are several solutions. The best one I've found - mentioned in a review here - is visualhub. You can use the trial version, the full version, or isquint, and change the avi files to mp4s or dv files. It's very easy and works wonderfully! I've found this little camera to be a pleasure to use. Have not yet tried editing files in iMovie, but they look very good on the computer. )

The video works fine with the Macs, but there is a known issue regarding the audio. The audio doesn't work with USB 3.0 ports. http://www.diamondmm.com/images/wpctvpromac/releasenotes.txt

Yeah as long as your mac has USB, no problems at all. The software that comes with it, won't work. But software that comes with cameras is usually useless anyway

I personally used iMovie on my Mac. I couldn't open it with any other application. I couldn't use the files with windows either. Not very happy with that, but it does take good video. All I can suggest is iMovie.

I've got an Intel-based mac, but I think it's probably more an issue of the software - so you should be fine, provided you are sporting the latest OS and iLife. I've now tried it with both iMovie 08 and FCP (whatever the most recent is). It's very straightforward in iMovie. Here's a crappy example of something I shot, imported and uploaded in under an hour:http://www.vimeo.com/1033464Ridiculously easy with iMovie. Not as straightforward with FCP. You have to find the HDV profile best suited to the camera (I'm still experimenting).

Not having a MAC, I researched and found on the Amazon site where I purchased mine: For Business Presentations & Personal Media Sharing, USB Plug 'n Play instant set up; Apple Mac and PC Compatible. Also, additional features include adjustable tripod, 1280x800 VGA input support, 1920x1080 HDMI support, Micro SD Card slot, USB port, composite video input, and 3.5mm headphone jack. Our show season is starting next week, and although we've tested it, I don't remember the wireless part...Sorry about that part! But it's a great little machine. The 2.2 lb. shipping really refers to the 1 1/2 lb. box! This little guy is phenomenally light!!

Yes there is a video and audio stream. On the PC you can use MultiLive to record the video/audio. On the Mac you should be able to record using the Safari browser although I've not tried it.

You can see examples if you go on youtube. People have uploaded very good video. Its a split screen. Front view on top and rear on the bottom. It looks great and the video quality is outstanding. FYI, the programs needed for the camera only work with Microsoft computers, not Apple. Also, at a minimum, even if you couldn't use the program available ( to set the date/time, play with the video, etc.), the video files are not compatible. The files are AVI files and Apple's new updated software doesn't recognize it. Other than that, its a very good device.

As an external drive, it should work with any Mac with a thunderbolt port. I use mine to hold a couple TBs worth of photos for work in Photoshop which is loaded on main hard drive. Performs fine for that. I have never done video work, however, but I think it should be fine.

I'm sorry, but I don't use Macs. It produces .mov-files. Should not be a problem with Macs.

Yes, on a macbook pro retina, running OSX 10.9.2, no problems. I used a simple cam app called DwayneCam that allowed me to chose the video source, although more sophisticated apps are also likely to work. No drivers necessary (I love Macs).

Are you asking if you can connect it to a Mac via USB and upload photos? Yes, you can. Are you asking if you can wirelessly connect and automatically upload photos? Yes, if you have Mac OS X v10.6.8 or later. Be advised that wireless setup is challenging. Also, you will be required to use Canon's Camera Window application to transfer images; it's impossibly slow, even on a current iMac. Here are the best instructions for wireless setup...what they don't say is that in order to do the first step, you must have an empty card...http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/contents/ASIA/EN/8201649400.html

Subject: Re: Y. Callewaert commented on your answer to the question "Being a Mac user, will this camera work with my Mac and iMovie program?"You're welcome. I think the camera is great. Really nice hs pics. I did buy the cannon mike that mounts on top on the shoe and if u have the extra $150 I think it is well worth it audio wiseThe mic is made for the camera. We use it to record our church services so I needed better sound than the built in micDave

I've tried to upload it to my Mac and it does not recognize the camcorder at all!! It is so frustrating! anyone know what I am doing wrong?

I think a mac would recognize the camera and upload the photos, but the video is in wav format and to my knowledge, mac does not support wav files. With a Mac, your best bet is a Canon.
