    Backpack for Mavic Pro and Camera Gear

    I have this in black - can't recommend it highly enough if you're looking for something not so bulky but still capable of holding a LOT of stuff.

    Going to NYC next week...Want to fly

    Don't get your hopes up - its pretty much illegal in all of the five boroughs due to the high concentration of airports, heliports and other No Fly Zones (TRUMP tower, etc). Even if you are in what you consider to be a 'legal' flying area (referenced in apps such as HOVER & B4UFLY), don't be...

    So how many batteries do you have for your Mav?

    Four, however I never usually need more than 2 on any flight-outing. I wouldn't say the novelty is wearing off (Ive owned my magic since November), but an hour or just under of flight time is usually enough to satisfy me these days.

    Cuba

    I just got back from Cuba and used my Mavic extensively. As long as you're not reckless and conscious of your surroundings, you shouldn't have a problem. I didn't. The guy you mention who went to jail flew his drone over the headquarters of the cuban military police and other important...

    Foggy NYC Morning with the Mavic Pro

    Flying directly over the FDR with high speed cars below isn't very clever.

    Flying Mavic in Iceland, things to prepare?

    Just keep your fingers crossed that you're able to fly your Mavic AT ALL! I was there 3 weeks ago on a 2 day layover and it rained (HEAVY) the entire time. my Mavic got ZERO flight time.

    How to avoid washed out video

    ND filters, a lens hood, a basic understanding of photography/videography (i.e. exposure) and you'll be good as gold.

    Do not fly your drone in Cuba

    No, but the building he was flying over is the central command center of the cuban military and special police. Regardless of how high/low you regard the cuban military, it doesnt change the fact that the building holds significance to them.

    Do not fly your drone in Cuba

    He flew it over the equivalent of the Pentagon, so its understandable why he was detained. That being said, they are illegal there, but a quick search on youtube will show you that many other (more considerate) drone pilots have been flying and filmng in Cuba without being thrown in to jail.

    Skins for Mavic.

    Looks great! Where did you get the eyes and mouth from? Or are they part of the decal set you bought?
