    New Years 2018

    Very nice. I went out all set to go except there was intermittent showers of rain, by the time I would get the Mavic up where I wanted to go the rain would have spoiled my fun, so I just sat back and watched the fireworks from the ground.

    Question re travelling with Mavic

    Hi Para Just on a side not and I'm not trying to be an *** bnut you've broken several rules there by flying where you did in your video.

    I've had enough of the (cr)app

    I can only speak from my own experience, I use iOS and the DJI app has never crashed on me. I been using an iPhone 6 + and an iPad mini 4 and have never had any problems with the hardware.

    Alas "No drones allowed"

    lol... I like your tactics. I usually check out the area really well before flying if I know it's a location frequented by people. I know what I want to shoot. I drive close enough to be very discreet, and often take off from the top of my car, I have a glass roof on an MPV. I fly in, do my...

    Ipad Mini 4 - Confusion

    You can fly without a data connection, the only thing you'll be missing is a detailed map when in flight, no other functions are lost, the Mavic will perform well either way. I've had to fly on many occasions in remote areas with a weak cell or no signal at all. I use an iPad mini 4 without...

    Do I have any choice?

    I mainly use the DJI GO 4 app, the only issues I had previously were connectivity issues which turned out to be the supplied cable to connect the RC to the phone, but I ditched that and since I've been using the apple cable, I have had no issues whatsoever with the app itself. Go for it and make...

    Dealing with the privacy issue

    This is great John, I've posted this on my facebook page. I was recently doing a shoot over a fairly wide river, hovering about 3 meters over it, yet I still received comments from passers by about it being an 'awful invasion of privacy'. Trying to educate people is a bit of a challenge.

    max distance issue

    Have you considered that you just have a faulty unit? I'm in Europe and have had zero issues with range and know others with no issues either. The Mavic is a very good drone, I'm getting excellent results with it. might be a good idea to return it for testing, or if you still can, get your money...
