I use the DJI multi charger and no complaints.

People that fly with disregard to others are the same people that talk on a speakerphone in a restaurant, leave the “click-click” sound on their smartphone keyboard turned on, smoke a cigar in a public place, blast music in a campsite, and take up two parking spots without a care. It’s THEIR...

Excellent job! Your sense of storytelling and choices during editing are top notch. You captured some priceless moments and the couple will enjoy that for years to come. One thing I would caution you about: there are a couple shots where it looks like you flew directly over people. This isn’t...

After quite a bit of jiggling and tugging with needle nose pliers, I was able to get it ALL out intact. I was concerned that pulling on it would break instead, which some did. But I was able to get it lose and removed it all. I flight tested it to make sure everything was ok and I'm happy to...

Flying in a grassy park, I landed on a clear, hard dirt spot. Upon second take off, the Mavic went up an inch or two then shutdown. I found one of the props must have snagged on the fish line-like webbing that underlies sod. That "dirt" landing area turned out to be a place where the grass was...

For US Flyers, the Senate is considering a bill to allow local jurisdictions to add rules for drone use. • r/djimavic Resistbot is a great way to get your voice heard. Text "RESIST" to 50409 Send them something like this: The Drone Federalism Act of 2017 could stifle creative new business...

Thanks to all who replied. This forum is GREAT! And MavicHelp is a great resource I learned about here.

I've had the iPhone with ATT since Day 1 and opted for unlimited data back then. If I do want to tether, I have to switch plans and lose my unlimited data.

I have an iPad Air that I want to use to fly the Mavic. It has wifi and is cellular-capable but I've never turned on the data plan. I'm too cheap and have unlimited data on my iPhone and usually just use the iPad around wifi. My question: is it safe to fly or will I be missing some important...

I took a tip from a friend and super-glued a 6" piece of red ribbon to the gimble clamp. It reminds me to remove to remove it before each flight. And seeing it in my kit bag, it reminds me to replace it when done flying.

Thanks for the replies! I was hoping that was the case.

Ok, I'm standing on a 150' high cliff. I launch the Mavic and start descending down the cliff toward the ocean. If it loses signal and goes into RTH, assuming the setting is 30m, will the Mavic ascend 30m above the ocean or above my launch position? Will it smack into the cliff before reaching...

Be sure to buy the DJI Refresh coverage for the Mavic Pro. I usually pass on "extended warranty coverage" on purchases. But this is much more and is well worth it if/when you need a repair.
