    Should I or Should I not exercise use of my DJI Care?

    Took my Mavic out to the beach in Sept. One of the days, early in my trip, I attempted to land on my landing pad with auto land disabled. It was silly. She spun and slid into the sand when landed and try to cut the motors. All ok, except the rear right motor was buried in sand. Took it out...

    Corrosion?

    What did you end up doing? I was at the beach for the week last week. Got some great footage. Flew over the ocean and some breaking waves, but still high enough to never get and visible spray on the Bird/Camera. Still, although I've had the Mavic for ~10 months now, my heart still pounds...

    Another newbie Ipad question.

    Is that a anti-glare screen protector on your iPad Mini? If so, what did you end up using?

    Mavic cases available on Amazon Prime

    Got these direct from China in Feb. Took a month to get them, decent quality, definitely worth the $20-30 that you would pay. I use them in my Incase DSLR Sling bag as a added layer of protection. I can now carry my bag around without second guessing whether I sling it around my should too...

    So "IT" happened.

    Did the same last week. Was being silly and flying 2ft off the ground in Sport Mode and at a dusk. Only about 50ft away from me on a baseball field. Wanted to practice some super low flying on fields and water for sunset shots. I know it's risky, but awesome reward if you get it right. I...
