    iPad Mini 3?

    It's not pointless to me. I've had mine for a few years. It's long since paid for and it's working great for flying my Mavic! You paid $200+ for yours. [emoji51]

    Apple HDMI adaptor

    I use airplay with my Apple TV ,on my back porch. The 48" tv is wall mounted on the patio. I can be about 20 ft away and it works great. Everyone can sit around the picnic table and watch the flight on the tv. It's great. And now it even plays the sound. Very cool.

    Dual Monitors?

    I am able to use AirPlay with my IPad mini and stream the Mavic video to a 48" flatscreen mounted on my patio,by way of my Apple TV. Everyone sitting around the patio can watch the flight. Very cool !

    Mavic Pilot Age

    I'm 59, in East Texas. When I was 27 I got my private pilots license. A few months later my dad passed away. My mom begged me to quit flying( she was scared I'd crash and she'd loose me too). So I quit. Now after 32 years I'm finally back in the air, flying my Mavic , and loving every minute of...

    A couple good hard cases, suggestions please?

    I got the Nanak 920 from B&H for $129. I got it because of the fact their cases are used in harsh environments and expeditions around the world. I don't go on worldly expeditions but I do travel my ranch every day and now I carry my Mavic with me everywhere . I throw it in the back of a Polaris...

    iPad Mini 3?

    I use a mini 3. Works perfect for me so far. It just does squeeze into the rc device brackets. I use a short cord I got from Drone Valley website, to connect the mini 3 to the bottom USB port on the remote . Works like a charm. Sent from the "Back 40"

    Naming your Mavic

    Call mine Mesteño. That's the original Spanish word for a stray or runaway horse. The word later evolved into "mustang". My Mavic hasn't strayed yet, but I figure it's just a matter of time.[emoji51] Sent from the "Back 40"

    Lightning Cable Help

    I got the one from Drone Valley too. Took about a week to get it. Works perfect with IPad mini3 . He has some good educational stuff on YouTube you might want to watch, about the Mavic and flying drones in general. Good luck and have fun. Sent from my iPad using MavicPilots

    Gimbal Yaw Control?

    This is all new to me too, but I've been wondering the same thing about gimbal yaw. It is covered briefly on page 39 in the owners manual. When in fpv mode it does synchronize with the Mavic and will turn a little bit in the direction of flight travel. But for the most part ,you do need to turn...

    Howdy y'all from East Texas.

    I'm more at home foolin with livestock and wildlife, than drones and gimbals, but I'm anxious to start a new hobby. I'm sure I'll have some questions for y'all along the way. I've looked through the forums some,and y'all seem like a nice bunch of folks. If it'll ever stop raining I'm gonna try...
