    Does Mavic limit its ability to hold position?

    Helicopters flying low

    I was about to throw my Mavic into the sky when this beast thundered past. This was up a cliff, with the sea about 50 metres to its port. It hugged the land through the town, just down the hill at sea level, and continued over the sea to the west. I could easily have had my AC above him, and some.

    I've done a complete u turn

    This should probably be in a new thread, but... Is it just me, or does the MavMount look like it stops you seeing the RC screen? I glance at the RC display quite often because it has a simple and uncluttered display of, for example: distance; signal strength; and 'REC'. If I was designing a...

    Another Mavic lost failed to RTH

    I think it is unfair, therefore, for enthusiastic new pilots to be told "If you're incapable of flying in ATTI mode, you should not be flying" when the expensive product they've bought into does not allow them to learn. I thought these forums are better than that.

    Another Mavic lost failed to RTH

    How should I practice flying in ATTI mode on a MavicPro?
