I cut my teeth on some cheap Skyvipers. These were $50-$100 so that if, or more likely, when i crashed it was not a major deal. If you want to start with the Mavic line, perhaps you should start with a pre-owned one. That way you can save a few dollars and if for some reason your son is not...

I got one of mine at a pawn shop

NLD is an aftermarket software, No Limit Dronez. It will eliminate several restrictions and that varies depending on the drone. For my old M1P it eleiminated the NFZ's and altitude restrictions. That said it is still incumbent on the pilot to fly smart and safely.

More often than not I just take off from my driveway. Technically my house inside a NFZ for Hobby but i have NLD software on my drone and it eliminates the NFZ's. I still have to fly smart so i will keep it low and pretty much over my neighborhood. Sometimes I will fly to HEB to see how...

welcome from Pearland as well. Im on the east side near pearland pkwy. I am still flying an M1P.

Howdy from Pearland, TX. I fly an M1P and love it. Let me know if you ever want to grab a cup of coffee and maybe do some flying. What part of Houston are you in?

All I have is a M1P. I got it used for about $500 several years ago. I have 5 batteries for it as well. I did install the NLD software which removed the NFZ's and altitude restrictions. I do have an external RID so I can be legal (if I want to be).

I use No Limit Drones for the software on my M1P. It gives you a lot more freedom. Here is the "bird map", Compatibility-nolimitdronez.com This will show you what versions of software (DJI) and what drones can be used as well as what it will free up. My house is 100 yards inside a NFZ. I...

Howdy from the Houston area..What company do you work for?

Howdy from the Houston Texas area.

I am right down the road from you in old Pearland near the Friendswood line. I still fly an M1P and love it.

I still fly an M1P. Love it! I loaded the software from NLD on it so i no longer have NFZ restrictions (but i know the difference between right and wrong) as well as height restrictions (again, be smart). I have 5 batteries and keep them all at about 50% charge in my house to avoid excessive...

Howdy from Pearland, TX

I started flying with Sky Vipers. they were ok, though i did put one into my pool and ended up in trees etc. A friend of mine bought a Mavic Air and showed me some of his video. I was flabbergasted so i went on Ebay and got a M1P. about 2 months later i was flying up my road and hit a low...

Howdy from just south of Houston. I wish they had these drones back in the day when I was sailing. I was down in the ER but off watch it would have been fun. I am now land based. reach out to me when you can.
