    Abandoned Phoenix Trotting Park (in 4K)

    Lets just say I would've liked to have gotten closer and stayed longer. :)

    That structure on the side of I-10 west of Phoenix near the 303... Abandoned since 1966, Phoenix Trotting Park is expected to be demolished this summer. I thought I should grab some footage of it while I have the chance.

    DronePrix AR

    This looks sweet. I'm going to give it a shot next time I fly.

    How I started with this Hobby

    I started with the Parrot Bebop. I liked the fixed camera design and sturdiness of it quite a bit. The size of the Mavic, long range, and 4K quality got me though. :)

    Were you controlling the drone in those shots, or were you using follow me mode?

    Hangar 360 easy to use

    I guess if you ever take a 360 you feel might be worthy of sale, you should choose to stitch it yourself. Other than the messed up copyright details, this app is awesome.

    Hangar 360

    Best app I've found for the Mavic. I'll be using it with each one of my flights now.

    Hangar 360 easy to use

    What app you're running on your phone has nothing to do with how you control the Mavic (if you're using the controller). You can guide it home while using the Hangar app.

    Obstacle avoidance?

    This happened to me on my last flight also. I wonder if it might be related to the new firmware? I was flying at sunset with no obstacles around.

    Got my Mavic repair back from DJI today.

    I am upset, hence my story. I've owned enough electronics to know that six sigma manufacturing standards went out the window long ago. All I can do now is fly it like I stole it and hope the next replacement is better.

    Got my Mavic repair back from DJI today.

    I've checked and don't see any stickers. First thing I did when it landed was clean the sensors thinking they may be dirty. I'll have to fly again in the morning to see if it repeats the behavior. I can't remember if I had it in sport mode or not when it was failing to give the messages...

    Got my Mavic repair back from DJI today.

    Upon first use after a month of waiting for my replacement... The gimbal alignment is screwed up. Even after calibration, it is not level. I also was getting warning messages that there were objects in front of me while I was flying in wide open space. This after paying $79 and using 1 of my...

    Anyone in Arizona

    Part of it is that the police don't know the rules. When I stopped to ask a policeman about flying in a possibly restricted area, he said they hadn't had any training on drones yet so there was no current enforcement, and to avoid any other aircraft.
