    New Mavic owner here, what's your #1 piece of advice before first flight?

    I've had my mp for about a week and I've never flown a drown prior to that. I would say make a pre flight checklist. Find a nice open area. Keep it in beginner mode for a bit. (That won't be long at all) just get use to how to control it. Sent from my SM-G900V using MavicPilots mobile app

    Go 4 issue

    I was flying and noticed on my phone screen my controller signal showed no bars on the screen but on the controller itself showed 5 bars and in the aircraft status menu it said I had a good signal. Anybody else having this issue with dji go 4? Sent from my SM-G900V using MavicPilots mobile app

    Meters to feet?

    I see some people have figured out how to disabled the map service from dji go and go with Google maps instead so I was thinking the guru that figured out how to do that could figure out how to change the meters to feet in the rth setting measurements. ;) Sent from my SM-G900V using...

    Meters to feet?

    I've switched my settings to imperial and it does measure in feet on the camera view screen but when setting my rth and max distance it's in meters still. Anyone know if this can be changed to measure in feet also? Not a big deal but if someone knows how to change that and informs me how to I'd...

    Marco Polo tracker

    I'm having them hold it at the fed ex building because of the signature requirement and knowing I wouldn't be home. Is there a way to edit my post without reposting it? I noticed I didn't say that day and tried to edit it but it reposted the entire paragraph. Sent from my SM-G900V using...

    Marco Polo tracker

    I haven't recieved my mavic yet but I bought a marco polo tracker on Amazon. I tested it earlier today. I had my son take the 4 wheeler and hide it in the woods while I waited in the house. When he got back I went outside with the locator and it picked up the signal after about 10 seconds with...

    Marco Polo tracker placement

    That looks like it would work. A couple holes could be drilled in it for zip ties as well as using velcro. I don't trust just using velcro. Sent from my SM-G900V using MavicPilots mobile app

    Marco Polo tracker placement

    I've also purchased a marco polo tracker for the mp that should be at my doorstep on the 18th. If someone makes a mounting box I'd be interested in one. Sent from my SM-G900V using MavicPilots mobile app

    Hello from New Richland Minnesota.

    That's great. I've read about all the delays in shipping the Mavic out. I'm guessing mine will be a couple months also. I live by alot of woods and corn fields so I'm researching tracking devices while I wait for it to get here. Sent from my SM-G900V using MavicPilots mobile app

    Hello from New Richland Minnesota.

    Hello everyone. Well I bought my 17 year old son a drone for Christmas. I didn't know anything about drones and had no idea how sophisticated they were using satellites and gps tracking etc. After watching him fly and seeing how it worked I quickly made up my mind that I had to have one. He has...
