just a thought did you run the app. that lets you know if your in a restricted flight area. Maybe it knew to not allow you above the 96 feet at that time due to some other aircraft flight plan and then when it could allowed to above 96'

When I was a kid we had drones on a stick. we called them Pin Wheels and would fly them out the car window. Today you would probably need FAA approval.

try showing up and flying a kite. if that's OK then you might have a case. you could tie a string to your drone and tell them is is a mechanical kite.

sorry for the late response been busy. the props started to turn on and immediately shut off and a message came up on my phone that can't take off due to location of the jail.

here is a funny one, I went to fly today at my school and after updating the nofly firmware I shut down 2 times because we are near the county jail. Pretty funny if you knew the size of our town. Like I was going to facilitate an escape with my mav. pro.

If you have bought a used mavic and the previous owner gave it a name that shows up in the flight log, how do you change it. Mine is apparently called swoop and I think it should be crashNberny

Is there an app. you need to read a flight log? The few that have been posted are not readable straight from the down load on my computers. do you open them up with the 4 go app? I would love a little advice.

Maybe it landed in the back of a semi truck and then bounced out on its way to California. It could happen, I saw a Disney movie where it happened to a dog I think.

There is a post about a found drone in California. I didn't pay attention where you are but check it out and see if it is yours. I think it was in general discussions.

Some where in the forum was a discussion from someone who lost their drone last weekend and was asking help on how to locate it. I can't find the discussion but maybe it is the same drone?

I was told that some of the parts are not but they are all made in china so who really knows. If you get them from a usa person a lot of times they will say "taken off a mavic drone" in the description. I have bought several parts ( flight control board, a complete rear arm and camera lens and...

you can buy this piece on ebay very cheap. The other part I would try to fix because if you get a new lower case and switch all the parts you run the chance of tearing the ribbons and then it gets costly if you have to send it in.

Turns out it's suppose to do this it is for photo and video focus information. you can turn it off.

Any body ever try to put your phone in a VR headset and fly. Just curious.You would have to use a long usb cable from the back of the controller and then put them on after you start the flight.

Well than I guess all of the stuff works now, Thanks all.
