    Gimbal Error

    I would use thunderdrones. he replied at the top of this thread. I paid him to fix mine, quick turn around and better price than most anywhere else you could go. Also, price is going to depend on what broke. Sometimes it is just the ribbon cable, sometimes it can be the entire gimbal. Those...

    live streaming does not work

    Nope. I connected to my wifi at home, 10 feet from my router, no obstructions, and still couldn't get it to work. Tried every troubleshooting step I could find, still couldn't get it to work. I would get about 3 seconds of streaming, then it just freezes for 5 minutes and repeat.

    Scenario 2: low battery, long distance, and the wind shifts

    In my opinion, you look for a safe and open landing spot, put the drone down and check the map. Then head to that spot as quick as possible. If you can't find, you might have enough to get it back up into the air long enough to hear or spot it.

    Mavic Pro problems - Horizon tilt at startup and VPS errors

    I feel your pain. I landed semi-hard on grass and my ribbon cable sheared. It was not a very hard landing at all, nothing that should sever critical cables for sure. I took the hit and paid Thunderdrones on here to fix it, instead of waiting for DJI's crap service and for them to tell me it's...

    Mavic Pro problems - Horizon tilt at startup and VPS errors

    The horizontal tilt issue has to be software related. The reason I say this, I have had this issue on my drone for quite some time now. Randomly, I turn the drone on and its still level from the last flight. Power cycle, now its slightly off. Could it be tight gears or rings, or something...

    Stobon Navigation Compliant Lights

    Do you have a file for the legs you would be willing to send or sell? I have been looking for these very legs to print at home, so I can put my lights on my Mavic. THanks

    Considering submitting waiver for 107.29 - Daytime Operations - Question about navigation lighting

    I have done quite a bit of research into this subject, and most people are not willing to post what they put in the waiver to get approved, which I understand. That being said, I have my entire waiver ready to be submitted, and I am confident I have all the required guidelines met and detailed...

    Crashed My Hushpuppy today

    Wait, does the camera still work? Cause I swear if it does, I got a weak *** Mavic. Mine bumped into some grass blades and broke.

    Live streaming... terrible? Useless?

    I tested it, just to see if it worked. Did this in my backyard, 10 feet from my modem with a 5G connection, full strength. Still sucked and froze constantly.b

    State Farm Mavic Insurance

    Nice first post, pretty sure you are the first person who got a yes from State Farm, in Califronia. I am sure there are insurers who will, but I was under the impression that no State Farm reps were doing drone insurance. Good Luck

    Temporary 107 Certificate?

    It usually takes at least 5-7 business days. The temp should show up any day now.

    Do I need a licience to Mavic film a wedding for money?

    I wouldn't go that far. I'm almost certain, according to multiple FAA reps statements at meetings and conferences, that "intent" means you need a part 107. So just get rid of that intent until you get your 107... If you intend to fly for the furtherance of a business, it is assumed you are...

    Temporary 107 Certificate?

    You were good to go since you got your temp. There is nothing limiting about a temp cert, unless someone like a company hiring wants your certificate number, but that is probably not going to happen. The temp gives you the same rights as your permanent. Good luck and congrats. I am still waiting...
