We don't get more freedom by surrendering our rights to fly responsively in the name of "safety"!

I sold my Mavic Pro months ago because of the undependable "follow me" feature. I never trusted it to work after several bad experiences that I was able to recover from at the last minute. My question... is the Mini or mini 2 more reliable now . All I want to do is use it for my sport...

Fill a bucket big enough to hold the Mavic then remove the battery and submerge the Mavic into the rice and leave it for 24 hrs. The rice will draw all the moisture out of the components. I've done it before and it works.

Your not an American...we are used to a little more freedom than UK.

Sounds like "Barney Fife" type cops. Something stinks here about the way the popo handled it.

The International Mtn. Biking Association did a study comparing e-bikes to analog bikes and found they are no more destructive to the trail systems. The 24 page study is available on their web site...so get over it and get an e-bike.

I've used banners for several years but only to convey on holidays. i.e. Happy 4th July, I simply attach it with fishing line on a verticle mount to hang about 6-8 feet below the Mavic. It works well.

That video just dramatically enhances the argument against drones and how they are invading people's privacy. It will only increase the demand for more government restrictions on drones. It served no valid reason to tape the cops doing their job ...just a busy body hi-tech drone operator...

In Colorado you are not required to show ID unless the officer has probable cause to believe a crime has / is being committed. There are lots of ignorant (about the law) cops out there who are badge heavy..but being respectful ALWAYS gets you further that being hostile. ( You should have...

Looks like the Russians are back at it again!!

I simply no longer trust Active Track. It has worked for short periods then stopped.. One time it went rogue but fortunately I was able to regain control and land it.

Very well done, you inspired me to video my small hometown cemetery where most my relatives lie.

Awesome pics...

Haven't flown in several months due too fear of losing it. Several erratic flights where lost connections and visual only to be saved at the last minute when re-connected have left me VERY concerned about stability of my Mavic. These were flights in country with no interference and plenty of...
