    Some irresponsible drone owners

    While I can’t say if what the pilot saw was a drone nor can I say that what he witnessed was made up. But for all that say we need more proof (pictures, video etc.) well I have news for you. They don’t need to show us anything. All they need is to create more fear so stricter regulations would...

    Newark airport shut down in US due to drone sightings

    At this point it doesn’t matter assuming what it was or wasn’t. How can it fly that high or how was the weather for that day. And if it was a drone hoping for the people to get caught. This incident caused a shutdown of an airport which will cause for stricter laws. Fear is how you governed people

    Newark airport shut down in US due to drone sightings

    News outlets aren’t helping by exaggerating the facts. Cause creating mass panic and hysteria that is news. More and more regulations are coming sadly to the point where we won’t be able to fly at all. They aren’t sure if it was a drone even the pilots said that it looked like a drone but if...

    Why are most people thinking that it was a DJI drone? There are other drones, heck you can build your own as well.

    Does controller on the Mavic Air charge the cellphone?

    I typically try to avoid 3rd party chargers, cables and batteries if it’s not from/or endorsed by the manufacturer. Keep us informed on your progress and the solution that resolved your problem that way others can be informed including myself.

    Does controller on the Mavic Air charge the cellphone?

    I’m new to this whole drone thing. But if you don’t mind may I suggest if you haven’t already done so change the cable to an Apple one or at least if you use a 3rd party let it be with the MFI stamp on the package. See if that makes a difference. I am using an Adam Element RC cable (Lightning to...

    Mavic Air took off to the right and scared me stupid.

    I don’t know if you’re new to drones but I am and I’ve had mine for about 3wks. One thing that I will not do yet is fly over water at least till I can get my bearings on how to efficiently fly my investment

    Does controller on the Mavic Air charge the cellphone?

    When I first plug my iPhone to my controller it shows that it’s charging for a quick second and once it connects it stops. It only does it for a split second. So I don’t think that the controller charges the iPhone.

    New Mavic Air from Philadelphia

    I just received my Mavic Air for Christmas and man do I love it. Haven’t really flown outside yet as I’m trying to learn everything their is to know about the drone by reading manual and watching videos. So I have been flying it indoors just so I could get use to the thing. Drone is registered...
