I called an agent and I have to bring it in and provide a sales receipt. Did you guys have to do the same. I can bring in the drone but I don't have a sales receipt - it was a gift.

Just ordered one - Thanks for the info

Awesome - I am new to flying and this will certainly reduce my anxiety

Were you unable to fly home visually using your phone and the camera? Get disoriented?

Yikes!!! I think someone had their corn flakes pissed on today. Maybe flymortalkless should change his screen name to flymortypeless. Really no need for that level of criticism.

As stated above - turn off landing protection. I flew over the water without disabling anything for a number of flights and then boom - autolanding. Fortunately I did not sink my bird. Landing protection always off for me.

I have to admit, I fly in NFZs frequently. Mostly because I am at the edge of being within 5 miles of an airport.. If I didn't, I would hardly ever get to use my drone. In doing so, I always fly at the lowest safest altitude (rarely above 100 feet) and certainly nowhere near a flight pattern...

Turn landing protection off. Otherwise it may initiate an auto landing. I had a near miss because I did not know about this.

Although I rarely lose sight of my drone I do have a fear of losing it for one reason or another. I am making a sticker with my name and phone number and a statement that says "Please call. Reward if found" I haven't decided on the reward amount but I bet $100 would get some attention.

Just flew over water - no issues

Thank you!!! Landing protection will be off!!!!

Several weeks ago I was flying over a canal and lost control of my Mavic. I was able to move it laterally away from the water and land on grass. Apparently I was a victim of the VPS over water issue which initiates auto-landing. From what I have read this can be avoided by switching off the...

very nicely done
