FWIW, visibility depends on many factors... Is the object illuminated from within (think laser beam, traffic light, and beacon) or is it made visible by the light around it. the combination of color, distance, available light and back drop. the impact of effects such as Rayleigh and Mie...

Hi ebruce, It depends. With no phone plugged into it, I've been able to get 4 solid flights from a single charge. Depending on which phone I have plugged into it, I've seen it drop to 3 with a slight charge left over. I've read that some folks are getting 2 or fewer flights under some...

msinger, thank you I'd really appreciate your insight on this. I'll upload the log as soon as I'm back at the office. Thanks again!

Good evening everyone. Have any of you had issues with the Mavic not maintaining its altitude in sport mode? I brought mine up to 100ft earlier today and put the controller down for a moment. I looked up and noticed it began climbing rapidly. I immediately picked up the controller and...

Could the reason be noise? They require noise arresting muffs on planes. Not possible with drones correct?

Hi Rbruz, it seems the misunderstanding stems from your terminology. The point of my earlier post is that there is no such thing as carbon fiber infused plastic...at least I'm not aware of it. There is, however, resin infused carbon fiber with or without a backing or core. We refer to these...

Don't get hung up on the price point. You'd be amazed at what is available out of China. I spend about 4 months/yr there. I sourced my props directly from a contact at one of the manufacturers. They're CF...at least the ones I ordered at $22/set. Balanced? No idea yet. Nothing a small amount...

Rbruz, I've never heard of carbon fiber "infused" anything (and I manufactured aftermarket CF auto body panels). Do you mean CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic)? That's basically most of the market for CF, and differ mostly based on the binding polymers and methods used in the manufacturing...

Long time Jeeper eh? So you will understand my handle :D --------------- Thanks for the warm welcome TJ. Yes, sir, I do ;-) XJ/ZJs and one WJ mistake here.

No issues yet with S7 and Mavic and i hope to test the S8 and C9 shortly as well. I did have issues trying to get my S7 and iphone 6 to connect with my Phantom 3. Updates didn't help. DJI support alleges that i need to replace the controller's usb module....i call BS since the usb port tested...

I fly 14-ish hour flights to and from the States. I use the Mavic Fly More bag with 3 batteries in it. No lipo bags. Zero issues. Habitually mine are always discharged below 50% for no other reason than preference.

Samdung S7 Edge is compatible. Zero issues with it when used with the dji4 app. Strangely i could never seem to get the Edge to connect with my phantom 3 on the old dji app. [Edit: I misunderstood. You have the S7 and you're asking about the 20. Is the S7 not large enough? I find it plenty big...

Hi all, Former Phantom 3 pilot. Long time Jeeper. New to Mavic and soon to be Inspire 2 pilot as well. Looking foward to sharing tips and tricks. Thrilled to have found this forum. Will be a pleasure to get to know all of you even if only online. Cheers, RM

would love to get a set in this exact style, but in a white or lighter grey vinyl....you're not taking orders are you? :) Are you printing and cutting this vinyl yourself? [EDIT: I just noticed later in the thread that you mentioned having a vinyl company. Would love to order a set with an "If...

Ordered a set while I was in China. It is unclear whether the blades and hub are both carbon. I'll know when I receive them in a couple weeks. I'm getting them purely for fun. The Mavic isn't a racer. I don't expect any measurable performance improvements merely by saving a few grams of...
