Ok folks I'm with you on this issue but the Google Earth argument is invalid . It's not in real time and they fly over to take pics about once every 3-5 years ,lol . I would have an issue if a full scale plane or heli was flying over my property for no apparent reason . Just be reasonable and...

My Mavic Pro was from the initial batch shipped and never had a problem until a few months ago . The vision calibration error showed up and I spent 3 days trying every fix in the book that I could find online and it fails to even start the calibration process . I just gave up and rarely fly it...

I fly back using RTH about 40% of the time just to see how close it actually comes to the takeoff point . It is always within about 4" which I find incredible and is so consistent that if it ever deviates from that I will start looking at possible damage and causes , lol . The other times I...

I wonder if this is a bug and that is what happened to me the other day ? I usually fly with Litchi and auto record at takeoff but this time I started off with DJIGo4 and was careful to hit the record button and saw the timer counting . Near the end of the flight I hit Record and saw that I had...

Yeah maybe the person that uploaded the video owned one of the scale MD RC helis in the .400 size . I have one of those and it is listed as a MD400 ,LOL . I've rarely witnessed a civilian heli land that quick but I saw many such military pilots do so when I lived near Fort Rucker back in the...

I ran my own business for 20 years and this happened a lot near the end after the internet came along ( I closed in 2008). I noticed mainly that those people were the ones looking for the cheapest price they could find and they usually ended up just purchasing from the last place they visited .

At superbike school they drilled into our heads that " When in doubt , add gas . It will either solve the problem or end the suspense ." LOL As a pilot or driver one should always be looking and thinking ahead as to what would I do if this happens . When flying the Mavic I have avoided two...

I went to two of my neighbors at a property that I purchased about 3 years ago but am not living at yet and gave them a old SD card with a few pics of their house/property after a rare snow here back in January . I have only met each of them once before . I said I thought you might like these...

Exactly why I rarely visit drone forums any more . Deny , deny , deny , shift blame then ridicule . SMH

I've had the same issue with the last few updates and went through all the suggested fixes . I have always run DJIGo4 on my Droid Turbo without issue since getting one of the first Mavics . I finally upgraded to a Galaxy S9+ and it runs great again . I really wish DJI would allow us to run a...

I think you just answered your own question there bud .

Why use any of the automated features ? RTH is no different than Waypoint mode , POI , Active Track etc . Why buy an automated drone if you had rather fly it manually ?

Well 3 db would be half as loud plus they just look cool .

Sometimes the Mavic does things just to see if you have read the manual .

Many many tourist helicopter flights in , around and above the canyon . It really wouldn't matter where you actually took off from if you disrupted one of those flights .
