    Always forgetting to remove the **** gimbal lock

    I am able to swap my filters without clamping the gimbal...I have the Taco RC filters and they aren't too hard to install or remove.

    Always forgetting to remove the **** gimbal lock

    I have been using the "Remove Before Flight" tag until recently. I now have the new gimbal cover that has the integrated gimbal lock built into it.... much easier to install and one less part to have to carry around...

    Storing batteries short or long term..why complicated?

    so how low is too low with regards to battery level when storing? Is it OK to store a battery at 20-25% charge after flying if you know you are not going to use it again for several weeks? Is 15% OK....at what point is it just as bad as storing it fully charged for prolonged periods???

    Can not remove radar screen from app

    Are you running the Go4 app on an Android device? The reason I ask is some of your description seems to differ from what I see on mine and I am running on IOS (Mini 2 and Iphone 6s). For example, my craft is a designated by a red arrow not blue...etc. Just curious why they would differ between...

    Any new mavic owners getting or just got Care Refresh?

    I purchased it with my Mavic Pro last year. It expires on Christmas day and I never once used it......I guess it was nice to have the peace of mind of having it but wish it was like extended warranty's for cars where if you don't use it, you can cash it out at the end of the term....

    Mavic Pro Fly More or Platinum Fly More for Christmas?

    based on your comments I would get the Mavic Pro and invest the difference in some extra batteries and accessories....unless money is of no concern, then get the Pro Platinum.

    Poll: Are you happy with your Mavic?

    Not sure I agree as a lot of folks only post on the forums if/when they have an issue so it tends to skew the perception that everyone is having issues. I think a poll is a valid yard stick to the overall satisfaction of the owners.....would be interesting to see if there was a similar poll on...

    Do you write or stick your personal info to Mavic aircraft?

    your not registering your drone per-Se....you as an individual are registering. The FAA # you receive goes on any UAV you fly and the FAA has no record of your specific drone as this information is not provided in the registration process. However, you are correct, that if you are only a...

    Has anyone used this aftermarket charger yet?

    If this were built with quality parts, I would agree with you but we all know they are made in China and likely not the best quality parts were used. It has a fake CE logo and we know it doesn't meet CE requirements without the ground lug connected. So I doubt the quality of the cables are any...

    Has anyone used this aftermarket charger yet?

    Thanks for the valid feedback.....the removable cords is what I like most about it. It makes storage easier without the risk of putting strain on the cables where they come out of the charger.....I am afraid that over time (with the other blue charger) the cords will begin to split....

    Has anyone used this aftermarket charger yet?

    Has anyone used this aftermarket charger yet?

    OK, thanks for confirming....don't really care if it is faster as long as it is a parallel charger....
