    Dead Battery

    So no suggestions at all? Should I assume it's completely and hopelessly dead?

    Dead Battery

    Con Connect the battery? Connect the Mavic which won’t turn on unless I put in a different battery?

    Dead Battery

    That battery turns on as shown in the video but the Mavic makes no response. I guess it makes sense the Mavic needs more voltage...

    Dead Battery

    Watch this to see how it behaves. Thanks for any advice.

    This got me excited!! Mavic Pro listed #1!!

    If you’re Mavic was on .700 firmware you can fly without logging in. I fly with Litchi without even having DJI GO 4 installed on my iPad. Then you wouldn’t have to do this risky job at all.

    Mavic Shot Down

    The footage just before he is shot down looks suspicious to me. The pilot obviously knows something is up. Pretty sure he is flying with full knowledge that the guy has a gun pointed at him. He is edging around trying to get footage of the guy without being hit. I hope the whole video was...

    Battery catches fire

    I always carry my extra batteries in the pouches on the sides of the Mavic bag included in the Fly More Combo. I put them in with the hard shell/power button facing outwards.

    Mystery flyaway: What happened?

    In my limited (don't shoot me down too hard) understanding of all the complexities of the Mavic's operational system, I would have assumed that regardless of interference with the radio frequencies, or the iron content in the rocks, it's forward facing optical OA system should still work...

    Mavic Platinum Props on a Mavic Pro Noise Test

    No doubt just a money grab "scam", but every claim about any such "improvements" must be tested thoroughly and discussed at great length in as many threads and forums as possible. What else are we gonna do when we're not flying? ;)

    Mavic Platinum Props on a Mavic Pro Noise Test

    I think DJI would love to hear they are being like Apple. From what I observed with their marketing, packaging, and selling in Apple stores, not to mention their own flagship stores look just like Apple stores, they have been working hard to be like apple. On Apple, I just loved it when Apple...

    Mavic Platinum Props on a Mavic Pro Noise Test

    This vid seems to have tested the db difference quite scientifically, much more so than just listening by ear. I would take it that the motors on the Platinum are either not the same motor, or the new ESC has made a big difference to their running volume somehow. Either way, looks like maybe...

    Made my Mav Water resistant to rain. Hurricane Harvey

    When I saw all them big helicopters sitting on the ground with blades spinning at 2:38 I thought... wait hang on, is that about to take off, and is this MP flying right into its flight path? The MP pilot didn't seem too worried about keeping an eye on it, unless he was on the ground nearby...

    Mystery flyaway: What happened?

    Yeah I removed mine right out of the box. More than 30 cycles of batteries and no scratches on mine yet. They shouldn't put a yellow tag on it if it's not meant to be removed, although they also shouldn't make it so dang hard to remove if it's meant to be removed...

    Mystery flyaway: What happened?

    I'm super annoyed whenever I see that protective plastic film left on things in people's homes, when they're not looking I'll peel it off! lol So when I unboxed my Mavic it only took me seconds to have all them plastics taken off everything. Also... isn't it a no no to fly much with the camera...

    Wireless broadcasting to a TV

    There is two different types of "airplay" which you do from the phone. One is AirPlay Mirroring, the option you get on the same page of control centre as the options such as brightness, nightshift, Airdrop etc, and then you swipe across to the right where you'll find the media playing page, and...
