    Bringing a Drone on a Royal Caribbean Cruise

    Eighth bullet down, pretty black and white to me. "Alcoholic beverages, illegal drugs, flammable liquids, explosives, and dangerous chemicals will not be returned.." ^tells me if they do find it you will get it back later. You really think that they will confiscate your property and not let...

    Safe to stick Trackimo to top of battery?

    Attaching it to the battery should be just fine. Only issue I see with it is having to transfer it every time you change batteries which will wear out the velcro sooner. I saw one guy mount it to the top of the back section but I wouldn't recommend it because that is where the gps antenna is...

    SD Card Recovery

    Well, I sort of started the Mac vs PC battle here :) I made the switch to Mac just over a year ago, it's been a huge learning curve and I'm always up for learning new things on it. Is there something on the Mac that would have done the same thing that fixed it on the PC? Sent from my iPhone...

    SD Card Recovery

    You had me spooked a little but I just put 62.74GB of video on the card so it's definitely legit. I bought it straight from Amazon LLC, not a third party. I don't like to buy anything that's not from a reputable source. It had to just be that I hadn't reformatted it in a while. It was really...

    REALLY REALLY UNHAPPY!!

    20 days? You ordered your Mavic on the 20th of Jan and you first posted this on the 4th of Feb. By my count that's 15 days. I get it though, that's still longer than 5-7 days. Also, I saw that somebody else hit the nail right on the head. You placed your order 8 days before the Lunar New Year...

    R or L hand throttle

    As a few have already stated, do what is most comfortable for you and "stick" with it! :p If you're looking for advice though, I would suggest the most common setup which is "Mode 2": - Left Stick Up/Down: Throttle/Collective/Altitude - It all depends on the aircraft you're flying, in the case...

    SD Card Recovery

    Project SD Card Recovery Complete! I want to thank everybody that gave some really good advice and input on the matter. Ultimately though, it just came down to Mac being a crappy product for being able to fix a simple issue such as this. A buddy of mine had the same thing happen to him with...

    SD Card Recovery

    Thanks for the tip, Photorec seems to work really well. It pulled off pictures that I had deleted weeks ago but all the videos it found I can't seem to play. Any ideas? Is there another step to cleaning up these files that I need to do?

    SD Card Recovery

    @ATXdrone This is what I'm seeing when I bring up Disk Utility: I'm unable to right click on it to give me any options to save the information on it elsewhere. The only thing I can do is "first aid" which does nothing or reformat it.:(

    SD Card Recovery

    @HeavensAbove I looked into it and I can't find anywhere about having a year free. I even found a specific thread that said that data recovery is not included in your products warranty. Did I miss something somewhere? The software they recommend and that you can download from their website is...

    SD Card Recovery

    What?!?! My card is a SanDisk. The Extreme PLUS 64GB Micro. I'll dig into that, I had no idea!! Thanks for the help!

    SD Card Recovery

    @Neil I'm trying to download Recuva and it seems that it's a PC only software, I'm using a Mac. (Sorry I probably should have stated that to begin with). When I select the link "Apple Mac User? - Click Here" it just sends me to the CCleaner for Mac. I went ahead and downloaded the free version...

    SD Card Recovery

    I'm running the current OS X on my Mac. I tried disk utility as you suggested and no luck. I ran the "first aid" option and it said it was successful but no change in how it's working. Any more help would be fantastic!! Thanks in advance! I'll get started on trying this out as well and come...

    SD Card Recovery

    Well, not sure how it happened but my card got corrupted somehow. Does anybody know of a good totally FREE piece of software that can be used to recover files on a card that has lost it's format. So I got done with my first 4K shoot. It took just shy of 2 batteries to fill a 64GB card, not sure...

    Amazon PRIME Orders

    Welcome to the light!! Took me 2 weeks to get mine from Newegg. I'm never trusting Amazon again for any popular preorders such as this again. Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots
