You had the thing barely a week and already you're flying in high winds at a high altitude and at great distance? I'm not at all surprised your Mavic is gone.

" the impedance mismatch at the ground is going to be a problem." WHAT????? Please, go ahead and explain that would you? I'd love to hear this one.

Anybody can take all the pictures of your property they want and there's nothing you can do about it.

Do NOT put it ANY WHERE NEAR a fireplace. Just leave it in the same room where you have the heat on (if any) and let it dry out slowly.

Wow!! That'd be like living on the moon.

That's not near Africa, I can tell. That aircraft is over the Bronx Zoo in New York City.

In that case I hope you don't live in Canada. You should sell your equipment because you are a disgrace to to the drone community wherever you live. I'm 72 and have always been a responsible drone pilot, and due to a health/memory issue I am not able to pass the required exam here in Canada so...

Interesting indeed. For example, these are "Forums" not "Forms"

The news last night here in Ontario, Canada said that officials think it might have been an electrical problem that started the fire. Bud

The bottom line here is if you fly in the rain then your camera lens will get soaking wet and prevent you from taking good, clear video or getting clear photos. Whatever the wetsuit claims, I don't see how it can protect the lens from getting wet. I mean, isn't that the reason you want to fly...

If you have the capabilities you must respond to a police officers request for assistance. That's the law. You may not refuse. If something prevents you from responding, such as age, handicap or other "thing" then you do not have to comply with the request. Bud

Why were you looking at the screen when flying it in Sports Mode anyway? I watch the Quad, not the screen on my iPad 4 when I'm flying, and especially at"Sport Mode" speed. Bud

Jack Daniels is the only whiskey I'd consider.

Hi Chris; There are any number of reasons why your bird dropped into the lake but once you've posted the logs here, some of the very experienced lads up here will be able to tell you what might have happened. You can speculate all day but the logs will tell the tale. Too bad this has happened...
