    Sad

    simple advice: don't fly over 200 ft. and fly INTO the wind whatever you do (you probably already know this but even with over three years with my Mavic Pro I sometimes forget). And, of course, keep it close to home base:rolleyes:.

    could be that the rear tab on the lower rear gimbal has 'jumped' over the metal tab that protrudes from the gimbal vibration board. If so, gently mover the tab undernath the tab. Also, check that the front tabs have not 'jumped' over the corner tabs in the front of the gimbal. Then do a gimbal...

    Anyone still on their original battery?

    I've had my Mavic Pro for 2-1/2 years....the two batteries are still in very good condition.

    Tracking & beyond line of sight filming

    yes....I use that frequently....better than RTH; you have control of the ship.

    This is why I always carry my Mavic 2 with me.....

    Well done...great video! The sound track, however, doesn't seem to fit the visuals. Had to turn it off.

    Very disappointed in Mavic Pro!

    When I read this I said to myself "he's joking, right?" No offense, but as previously mentioned if you can't get your head around THIS small problem then send back the Mavic pro for a refund. There will be more challenges ahead. The MP is a very sophisticated drone and the learning curve can be...

    Sorry for the delay in responding to your post. I live in the Largo/Clearwater area and have been doing a few commercial jobs....mostly real estate and a few construction sites. I try to keep it simple. I email clients' videos and photos and they can edit them or have someone do it for them. If...

    I market via existing business contacts, as I've had 20 different business enterprises in the last 35 years. Like any new business marketing is key. I usually farm out work to editing guys I know. I play 60's R&B (keyboards) so I know a lot of decent music editors. There are quite a few apps and...

    So tempted to replace the Mavic Pro w/ Mavic Air... help?

    I'd stick with the Mavic Pro. I've had mine for 13 months and (knock on wood) never had a problem with it. Have my 107 certification and do real estate and other fun things.

    Congratts! I've had my Mavic Pro for over a year....got my 107 and do some commercial work but like to fly for the thrill of it. Got the DJI goggles as well. The closest place to you would be Dunedin Rec Center on Michigan, RC fixed-winger fly there in the mornings; there is a lot of room and...

    I've used the same 64 bit Sandisk....worked fine.

    Helicopter Identification

    Looks like a Sikorsky MH-60 Jayhawk. I live near the Gulf Coast (Clearwater, FL) and always have my ears open. When I hear them coming (usually on training or rescue flights) I try to determine their altitude and direction. You're allowed by the FAA to go ABOVE the intruding aircraft and (and...
