Welcome aboard!!!! I'm glad you did your research!!!! I wish ALL new Mavic owners would read and watch before flying! They would be much better off!! Enjoy!!

After reading numerous content on this blog I have come to realize that most pilots feel DJI is to blame for everything that goes wrong with their flight. Some are but most are pilot error. I understand the frustration and anger because of the expense of this type of hobby. However, this is a...

I strongly suggest that we somehow convey that first time Mavic fliers watch totorials and/or read some of the posts we've created for first time Mavic fliers. We advanced fliers can't consider anything "common sense" when it comes to new fliers. Flying over water can be very safe but I would...

Are you using the DJI GO 4 app? The 4 I think is the latest one. It's editor is substantially better and very easy to edit. No need for a how to video. Lots of music choices and easy to post on line. Welcome aboard!! Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots

Yes I did. It was in the middle of a field. Has there been issues with the new firmware update? I'm fairly certain that this was silly mistakes made by me, but I'm curious now if it was aided by some firmware issue. I had just updated it the day before. Hmmm. Sent from my iPhone using...

True story. Not even in little league baseball did I make a catch like this!! After a very successful flight over the reservoir earlier in the day I decided to fly again since I had plenty of battery left. I did my normal routine of checking on everything and no problems. I decided to take off...

After arriving home from work today, I decided to take the Mavic out for a simple flight around the neighborhood to keep my skills up. It doesn't hurt that it's been a little warmer than usual. I got everything started when I looked on my screen and it said you cannot fly. Specifically it said...

I live in that area near Olney. There are some great flying opportunities. The water is beautiful at sunset. Though it is getting too cold. Be careful of MANY MAJOR power line towers. There are an abundance of these huge towers and could create interference. There's also a small unpaved...

I would really be patient and start from scratch when the battery is full. You definitely want to read through some of your screens before you begin flying. There could be a simple explanation for this. Even if you were an experienced flyer it wouldn't hurt to check out a few YouTube channels to...

I know these forums are very helpful and digging up more information. A lot of what I see is negative but it's for the right reasons of educating flyers of potential pitfalls. I just wanted to start a positive thread on how amazed I am still after two months and many hours of flying. What a...

Hi. I have read a large number of posts of people that purchased the Mavic as their first ever drone. I have had a Mavic since the release in October. I am by no means a professional, BUT because I was somewhat new (1 year) to drone flying I feel I can relate to beginners very well. Here are...
