    Filming in National Parks is Banned for YouTubers

    I hear the process to apply for a permit is intrusive with them wanting social security numbers and other personal info. The process can take up to 20 days plus and there is no guarantee that you'll get the permit and are expensive permitting fees returned if you don't? I'm not sure about that...

    Mavic Mini windy day flyaway and recovery

    Those of us who have flown a lot know that the wind can be a fickle thing. The winds just a 100ft up can be a lot stronger than what we're experiencing on the ground and they can be sustained winds. Go higher than that, and there can be a huge difference. The little Mavic Mini is not going to...

    Why bring up drones?

    There is no doubt our American news agencies like to produce stories that vilify drones and the hobby/business. It makes for sensationalism. I see Lester Holt on NBC News every three months or so, talking about these evil drones and how dangerous they are and how something more needs to be done...

    Your right. It was just my thoughts. I deleted it.

    First real RTH

    Go app sometimes freezes when flying my Mavic Pro on my older Android phone too although it hasn't done that for a while now. You can stop flying and let it hover wherever it is and just close down the app and bring it back up again and it will reconnect automatically. I don't like RTH as it...

    Precautions of new battery

    The big No No with these batteries is to keep them in a hot car for an extended period of time.

    DJI getting out of the consumer drone business?

    The Mavic 2 has been out for over a year now. I would expect heavy discounts on The Mavic Pro as they are clearing inventory of the previous model.

    DJI getting out of the consumer drone business?

    I wouldn't take him seriously. He just regurgitates all the bogus information he can find on the net. It's why I unsubscribed from his channel a while ago.

    Enabling microphone DJI go4

    All you would hear is the sound of the drone and nothing else, not very pleasant.

    Dad uses Mavic 2 to warn kids about a shark

    I'm not trying to fuel any shark hysteria by posting this video. I've done snorkeling off the FLA keys and had sharks swimming right below me and I had no concern what so ever. But you can't say this great white has no interest in these swimmers what so ever. History does not bear that out.

    Dad uses Mavic 2 to warn kids about a shark

    Here's the video. Yeah...no danger at all.....great whites never attack people in Australia.

    Compass error demonstration

    A very good explanation. Nice job!. There is no need to demonstrate it and risk something happening to your M2P though. Plenty of people have already done that. Just look for the posts beginning with "Well.....I lost my quad today."

    Cemetery

    I love it when people fly low to get those eye level smooth shots and then gain altitude. Very nicely done! I'm planning a drone shoot at a very large abandoned cemetery soon. I may use black & white for some of it as it worked out well for your video and the music was spot on. Mark D. Dalton...

    Phantom Rain - 26 minutes in the Rain ! Mavic 2 Series

    I would not consider flying any Mavic in the rain. Whether it's the Air, Mavic Pro or Mavic 2. They are not by any means even water resistant. Maybe the next Gen Phantom will have that capability.......we'll see.
