    Red or white?...sounds like wine

    Personally I would go for the 'Black', this is by far the easiest to put ANY colour wrap on which is something I would advise you do anyway to protect it. I have the white and all the white edges show after putting on a wrap, does not look great tbh. This would not happen with the black as the...

    Which ND Filter to buy?

    Each to their own of course :-) After using them for a few years I take the easy option, well what I feel is easy. Adjusting the filter on the ground does not always give you the correct frame in the air which means grounding again to make another adjustment or slightly ruined footage. Do not...

    Which ND Filter to buy?

    I would rethink here. You will find yourself having to play with the filters all the time to adjust the PL. I would just use ND filters all the time and ND/PL only when required.

    Range limitations CE and FCC... going over?

    Dude, the distance is NOT restricted. All that happens is that the Controller drops it power output to conform to EU regulations, this is controlled by the GPS location. There is no reason that on a good day with the right conditions you may get similar distances as in the US. Saying that I...

    Range limitations CE and FCC... going over?

    The Mavic is International, there is no difference between the US, EU ones etc. The transmitter power is adjusted accordingly via the GPS position. I have not looked recently but do not believe anyone has come up with a hack yet. It is not the distance that is limited but the TX Power output of...

    Mavic dual remotes

    Close but the CrystalSky term is simply the name for their Android tablets. These have to connect via a USB cable to the controller. However there is always the hope that the monitors themselves may have built in Occu and Lightbridge receivers, hmmm, maybe asking a little much but you never know...

    iPhone 6s plus battery from 75% to 0 & switch off in 10 mins arrrr

    Go back to the store, insist on a refund. They should not have charged you irrespective of warranty period. They made a mistake or the guy just did not know...

    iPhone 6s plus battery from 75% to 0 & switch off in 10 mins arrrr

    Known issue with the 6 and 6Plus battery. Do a quick Google and you will find the relevant Apple support page (it only mentions the 6 but the issue does span to the 6Plus also). Enter your serial number and see if it is eligible for free replacement. If it is not then book an appointment at a...

    Skins for Mavic.

    Thanks, I am aware of the additional coverage that DroneWrap offer hence the attraction. Did not say thicker was better but it would defiantly offer more protection, it will not interfere with any signals or have any weight bearing unless it was made with metallic material. Everyone has their...

    Skins for Mavic.

    How thick is the vinyl please? The way they contour the skin around corners etc. it must be pretty thin and offer little to no protection to the Mavic in the event of a scuff or crash which is something that should be part of the package rather than just looking good. I am not saying they are...

    Accessory Question - Charge iPhone & Controller Whilst In Flight

    That will not work unfortunately. There is no way to charge an iOS device whilst in flight with the exception that I think someone used a iPhone battery case with pass-through connector (to connect to the controller) but not sure how successful they were and that would only keep the phone...

    Skins for Mavic.

    Nice! I would not have bothered numbering the batteries on the outside. Should something happen to one of them and even if you replace it your numbers will be out of sequence unless you replace all the numbers above the broken one, that is if you want to keep them in age order of course lol.

    Skins for Mavic.

    Anyone had the Stealth Black from DroneWrap please? I have had numerous matte skins before and EVERY single one of them shows up marks and scuffs extremely easily, even a Japanese YT vid I saw seems to show this with this finish. So am asking for any personal experiences with the Stealth Black...

    Flyaway last night!

    My view exactly, if you have nothing constructive to add to help answer the OP's question then why waste your precious time answering at all. I also think you will find that the people dropping these comments are very new to the UAV world and having their Mavics for a few has made them experts...
