    DIY Mavic Pro Hard Case

    I came across a product called Trekpak and liked the idea of having a customizable hard case. Unfortunately, that product is rather expensive so I looked for an alternate and came upon the coroplast and armaflex idea. The first case I completed was the EVO case then I decided I wanted a similar...

    Black Friday Purchase Question

    For those of you who plan to purchase a State Farm Personal Articles policy, please do your homework first. I had read about the State Farm/Drone claim issues after I got mine, so I spoke with our agent and confirmed that a claim against a "PAP", no matter the value "could" affect future...

    Used Mavic Pro 1 Value

    A buddy of mine is looking at a new Spark. I'm trying to talk him into buying a used Mavic Pro 1 instead. He has flown my Mavic Pro and likes it. He's never flown a Spark though. What would be considered a good price on a used Mavic Pro with one battery? I figure this would be the low end...

    State Farm Policy - Renewal

    Just wanted to let you all know to watch your State Farm Personal Articles Policies. I had one on my drones last year but decided not to renew it based on the chance of future insurance policy increases if a claim is filed. I had my policy a full year then decided not to renew. I assume if I...

    Gotten insurance with State Farm? If so please read!

    They write it under a "Personal Article Policy". It's not a "Drone" specific policy.

    Gotten insurance with State Farm? If so please read!

    A little clarification on the cost of insuring with StateFarm. The $60.00 cost I see listed in a number of posts is one that fluctuates based on what you are insuring. I myself have a P3P, a Mavic Pro Fly More Combo and an Autel XSP along with multiple cases, extra batteries and chargers...

    DJI Care....

    Agreed. I had read many times on here where they instructed the owner to send just the items you mentioned. Since I have no first hand knowledge, I didn't want to tell you something that wasn't true. Good luck with the repair.

    DJI Care....

    I think I would contact DJI Care ASAP and explain the issue. If they say they will cover the damage, let them guide you on what to return, when to return it and how to return it.

    Mavic Aluminum Tablet adapter and Magnetic Interference

    The blue holder is my current one. I can still see the RC for the most part. The gray one is the one I will not be using. I plan to use a similar angle on the rear post but it will be a fixed angle instead of adjustable. Everything on the new design will be aluminum and welded. It may be cheesy...

    Mavic Aluminum Tablet adapter and Magnetic Interference

    I’m considering making an “all aluminum” tablet adapter similar to the attached. The base plate would be similar to the MavMount but would have the arm going under and up the back of the controller. This entire assembly would be aluminum and welded or bolted together. Would this cause any...

    DJI GO or DJI GO 4 App for the Mavic?

    I just connected to the aircraft then the RC using the DJI Assistant 2 app and had no issues. I didn't connect both at the same time though. The firmware version on both is shown as V01.03.0400. I started with the DJI GO app and had no activation issues. Hopefully you can get yours up and...

    DJI GO or DJI GO 4 App for the Mavic?

    Thanks everyone. If I recall, I did the firmware update as well as the activation. I see on some of the FB Mavic pages, installing the new firmware is a mistake. If I install the DJI Assistant on my PC, can I go back to the previous firmware or is this something that cant be un-done? I'll...
