I’ve been making cinematic quality videos and selling them on stock websites, Shutterstock, Dronestock and Pond5 for videos, I’ve got photos on a few more. I find my drone images sell more than the average SLR image.

Aha yea I never fly with the cover on for that very reason. I've tried the polarpro filters to great success and have been meaning to buy a set.

Anyone seen/tried these? I'm sure they aren't as good as proper filters, just curious.

I've had zero issues related to the deformed plastic. I do put my mavic nose down in the bag but it doesn't get bumped around. I like the idea of getting a replacement mavic for free, but I'd hate to be months without it and it seems wasteful.

I've got a 7 plus and if anything DJI go works even smoother. Sorry to hear you are having issues!

I've been waiting to see what the posts here say, have had excellent performance so far and no issues after any previous update.

I occasionally use RTH mostly just to keep my confidence that it will work. I like to keep my piloting skills sharp and always maintain positional awareness. I've even practiced flying to the legal ceiling, unplugging my phone so I can't see, spinning it to an unknown heading and flying off...

Hi Friend, Chipper Canadian sending best wishes from the UK. I hope you recover quickly and I'm sure your 107 will find you a new rewarding career! Best, Alexander

I don't have much to offer except that I've noticed some analogous bulges after 80 flights and ~13 hours.

I was going to say the same thing. Set everything manually and then continue from there.

Physics will, just not programmed into the Mavic. There is an amazing TED talk on machine athleticism where some researchers use cognitive computing to have the computers develop their own algorithms for flight, learning as they fly and this is one of the scenarios, unfortunately the Mavic...

Hey there, I use the IOS app and I think I know what they are asking for. I'm at work right now so I don't have my Mavic to connect to, but I'll show you what I mean with screenshots. You can see the status of the IMU and both compasses if you click on the elipsies in the top right hand...

Thanks for sharing. This is something I wondered about but hadn't yet tested.

This is my max distance run. There were heavy winds so I was flying out and back in sport mode, decreasing the battery range. I returned when I got the RTH distance warning (my motorcycle was in the shop so I had no way to drive to recover it) and got back with lots of battery to spare. The...

Try flying in similar conditions during the daytime and switching off the optical position sensors in the DJI go app. I was testing this recently. You will see it suddenly lose that precision we all have come to know and love about the Mavic. I fly at night a lot and it's still quite stable...
