Someone posted on FB that they had fished a Mavic out of the lake. Anyone lose one and can identify it? They are looking to get it back to the owner.

So the short answer with India was I would have been better off not taking it. They gave me grief over it coming into Mumbai, leaving Mumbai to Chennai, and then arriving in Chennai. Ultimately I got to take it with me, but they were saying I shouldn't have it, should have filed paperwork...

Yes I've seen all these. Was hoping someone had some first-hand experience recently with traveling to India from the states with the drone and getting through customs. Was looking for any positive or negative experiences before making the call on whether or not to take it. Thanks for the help...

That's basically what I saw for Australia also. My main concern at this point is India since that's my first stop.

I've done some googling and find lots of conflicting info on what I need to do to travel with my drone. Hoping someone here has some first hand experience with it. I'll be traveling to Mumbai, then Chennai, and from there to Sydney. I don't want to break any laws and definitely don't want my...

Looks like i put this in the wrong section...please delete.

So i'll be in Chandler, AZ all next week for work. I've never been to the area, and plan to take the MPP. I'm not sure yet how much downtime I'll have, but for those of you in the area, if I could only hit 2 scenic areas for flights, where would you recommend? Thanks.

Must have found it.

Well I haven't personally run any tests, but one would think that the harder the motors are working the more power they draw. In your fuel efficiency question, are you getting better mpg in your car at half speed or max speed?

I’m confused. Were you not the one on control of the drone? If you were, did you just hit the RTH button and then assume it would do its thing so you stopped watching? It looks like it landed within 50 yards or so of your house, but it took a stranger to stumble upon it a month later to find...

Unfortunately the world we live in today I would take the other side of that bet. So if you fly at your home then you fly straight up, and then straight back down? I have acreage but still have to "fly above my neighbors property" at some point unless i just want to go in circles.

My guess is it has more to do with the potential liability they open themselves up to by being associated with a business. They assume if you are 107 then you're using it on jobs, where you really should have liability insurance in addition.

My initial thought is no, it's a computer with gauges and they just measure what they see. That being said, lets say it WERE possible for it to be incorrect. These logs are what DJI goes on when looking at cases for Warranty or Refresh, so how would you actually prove they are wrong anyway?
