    MPs — I join the rest of our community and am very sorry for your loss! I’m not sure that I’d be that logical if either of my birds were lost to me. I hope you’ll fly again, very soon.

    Gotta say.. best place for info and help...

    I’m anti-social, which makes me VERY anti-facebook (or as I’m always calling it, FaceCrook). This is a great place to get information and help; there are quite a few very knowledgeable and friendly regulars. Whenever DJI releases new FW, I’ll stop by this site to “get the skinny” first. 2 big...

    Drone Fox 8 Cleveland

    I think I’d skip all the “bling” on the uniform - or demand Hazardous Duty Pay if I was forced to wear that!

    Mavic Uncommanded wandering

    That is one big post full of great explanation! Thank you - and extended Thanks to all the other “mad scientists” who help us to understand what’s occurring with our birds via these “dat” files.

    Drone Tower Crash

    Glad your bird only suffered minor damage. No judgement here - but that footage after the crash was stomach turning! Definitely reinforces my decision NOT to live (or fly) anywhere near tall buildings.

    What the * *** happened here?

    Good rule of thumb - when I fly either my MP or Spark, I try very hard to avoid any type of broadcast or cell phone tower. With the pervasiveness of cell phones and cell phone antennas, it can be very hard to find places to fly. Not sure if the proximity to the towers in your video - but I...

    Would Anyone be tempted to buy this T-Shirt?

    Discrimination! Your size jumps from 2XL to 4XL. What about us old fat guys who wear a 3XL for comfort? Drop me an email if you can hook me up with a 3XL. Thank you!

    Chinese Charger / Warning

    I did the “repair” as soon as I received mine. Not sure how (or, if) this thing ever received a UL rating? Many thanks to the people who posted up the videos & earlier threads on the problem and solutions. This same company now makes a multi-battery charger for the Spark, but the case is...

    Neighbor Hates Drone Questions for You Guys and Gals?

    Guessing the boyfriend finally saw what he had hooked up with and beat feet before it was too late? Good luck with this nutbag!

    The prodigal drone has returned!!!

    @Lil’ DronePilot - Great story and greater results! It does increase my faith in people to hear that the “finder” wouldn’t even accept a reward! Continued Safe Flying

    Miracle Blades for Mavic (Platinum)

    Have you tried to return it to whomever you bought it from? If it’s still “not activated” it’s still in a new condition.

    CPU Overload - IPad Mini going to the shelf

    Something to consider for your iPad Mini: iPad Active Cooler I live in South Jersey, where it’s often in the mid-80’s and high humidity in the summer, and I fly my MavicPro and Spark with 2 iPad Mini 4s and I have not had any problems like you’ve described. I do use a high quality, 3rd party...
