    Mavic RTH point moving without the Mavic even running.

    Many people get hung up on the number of satellites the gps is receiving. In truth all you need is three to provide a location (four for altitude). Time, very accurate time (thus the need for atomic clocks) is needed to insure that when a measurement is taken from the three satellites it is at...

    Got this GPS message today

    Wind chill does not effect to a mavic. I does effect humans because it evaporates moisture on exposed skin witch causes cooling so unless your mavic is sweating your OK.

    Samsung Note 8 brightness 1240 nits

    Note 8 doing fine if it does dim It's not enough to cause a problem. You can turn the auto brightness function off if you feel the need. People have to realize that any thing you add to your phone such as a case or even a wrap will increase how hot it gets, just like putting a coat on at the...

    Mavic pro with Samsung Galaxy S7edge

    My Note 8 works fine and it does come with a USB to C adapter. It's great even in full sunlight.

    Storing Mavic in Dry Cabinet?

    Great idea, I always keep mine in one. I prefer the "Colorado, USA" brand.

    Travel restrictions - do not take your drone to Turkey

    The lesson here would be: 1. Do your research. 2. Apply a micron (very fine) filter to your research, particularly if it's from a forum. 3. Check your research again. 4. Post and hope the rules haven't changed since you hit the enter key. Thanks OneOak.

    Goggles, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

    Look at it this way, you already look like a dork standing in the middle of a field chasing a Nat around with your thumbs, at least with the goggles on, people can't recognize you!

    Speculating the price of the CrystalSky monitor

    Just remember that DJI needs to recover their cost for developing all of those firmware updates that have made other devices so unreliable that you will pay anything for the CS.

    Mavic's Lends Hood, not a good idea,

    I bought it for protecting that fragile and expensive gimbal and have had little problem with it interfering with the video. As for making the Mavic look prettier, kind of like putting lipstick on a pig. Lens flare is cause by light being reflected off of the elements of the lens so the more...

    Mavic lost while trying circling around a building

    You need to consider cause and effect here. Drones have been around for a long time (think military) so many people associate our toy drones with them. So yes, the feelings some have for drones would not change even if we had a spotless record but there was a cause to create these negative...

    precision landing protocol question

    Just look at your screen when taking off, the gimbal camera does not point down so obviously it the bottom camera that takes the picture.

    CPL filter

    In addition to being sensitive to the angle to the sun, cameras with wide angle lenses can produce images where the sky goes from light to dark horizontally even when shot at or close to 90°. About the only work around is to try to patch it with a gradient filter in post, very hard to do.

    Mavic Pro with Bombs

    I think it will be a great addition to the opposition's arsenal.

    Drone footage of SpaceX CRS-10 landing

    I, like many others, am sometimes guilty of the "quick read" and don't get the meaning of the post. I think we all need to try to be as clear as we can as to what we are attempting to say. Sorry for the misunderstanding and glad your not in jail. I wounder if NASA has a button on their control...
