    How do you remove the upper shell?

    Actually needed to remove the screws: four in the battery compartment, two rear ones on top, two under the front arms holding a small cover plate, two under the cover plate, and two over the forward vision sensor. The above video shows this in great detail. There is no warranty seal on the...

    How do you remove the upper shell?

    Thanks all for your suggestions, especially the video. Got it snapped back in place. I ended up removing the screws as shown in the video, but didn't need to take the shell off. Apparently, removing the screws allowed just play to snap the cover back.

    How do you remove the upper shell?

    Had a slight mishap with MP while transporting. How is the upper shell removed to fix a slight separation between the upper and lower shell?

    Missing my P3P....wait for P5 or MP2?

    I sold my P3P for a good price, but I miss the picture quality over my MP. Should I get a P4P now or wait for a P5 or MP2 in hopes of getting a better camera?

    iPad Mini Sunhood with Etsy DJI Mavic Tablet Adapter

    I also have the PGYtech. Works great, just need to remember to put the shade on first before connecting the tablet.

    How Do You Store Your Videos? (External drive suggestions)

    To OP: get the Western Digital Wireless Pro. Make sure it's the Pro version. The nonPro version is not very user friendly. The WD has a built in SD card reader, so you don't even need to attach to pc/MAC to store files, which happens automatically once the card is inserted. It also has an...

    An app that tells you how tall surrounding buildings are?

    Try Hivemapper. Enter the location of interest and building heights are shown. Also, you can use Google Earth. I don't have the exact steps for doing it, but draw a polygon, making sure it touches ground level. Then you choose relative height and move the polygon up to the height of the...

    New sun hood

    Just got mine after bouncing between zip codes. Have not flown it yet, but my first impression is that it seems a bit flimsy, especially the removable visor part. The body is also thinner than the other shade I have.

    New sun hood

    Tracked the shipping on mine, but it was shipped to the wrong zip code. Right now it's in my city, but bouncing around between zip codes. Aggravation!! Not sure if USPS will bother to look up the zip code for my adress, or just mark it as undeliverable and return to sender. Have been waiting...

    Just do a Google search for "WD wireless Pro case". There are two versions: one is a hard case the other, which I got, is neoprene. Got mine from B&H photo.

    Seagate Hard Drive For DJI Drones

    Have had great success with using the WD wireless Pro (available up to 4TB storage) for the past 3-4 months using it exclusively to store Mavic video/photos. Stay away from the original WD passport wireless. WD Pro also has a powered USB port for charging R/C, phone, etc. in the field. For $10...
