GIVEAWAY: DJI Mavic Hard Case by Freewell Gear

[Pp09nlk2n]

I tell myself before each flight: "you aren't as smart or skillful as you think you are. So don't try anything dumb."

Sometimes I even remember that advice while flying!

This is the best advice here - this guy should win

Lots of good tips here about flying safe, flying smart. Here's my fav: calibrate your compass before EVERY flight. I see pilots on YouTube that just power up and go, and they even say "I only calibrate my compass after firmware updates" and I think to myself "There goes a future flyway!"

Absolutely never under any circumstances mention money or the cost of items when spouses are present. That little rule of thumb will keep you flying much longer.

 

[CuaC]

Curb your enthusiasm, you're not Casey Neistat and you don't have Casey Neistat's money to pay the fines and replace your drone every other week.

 

[skunkman]

Turn off Landing Protection when flying low over water - it will stop it from autolanding against your will. If you forget and it starts to autoland then quickly switch to sport mode - you will then regain control.

 

[Arkarian]

Never panic! The pause button is your friend. You can use it during RTH as well if you see things aren't going right.

 

[janekx]

Never forget Mavic at home.

 

[vinhidalgo]

My favorite tip is... the very first before turning on the Mavic Pro...

Make sure to Remove Gimbal holder, and to never fail on this I did this.

 

[bradc972]

when in doubt... hover.

Ha. Thanks.
Wish I would remember to take that advice more often.

 

[Shep]

"...buy a Mavic!"

 

[jshah500]

Don't forget to take off the gimbal cover!

 

[Huskerfan]

My best advice is: If you lose your compass and/or the DJI program freezes or crashes on your phone just use your controller to count down the distance between you and the Mavic. If the distance is counting up, you are going away from you. If the distance is counting down, you are bringing her home.

Nope..

 

[SteveNunez]

Tip: buy spare batteries, your life will never be the same once you own a Mavic Pro.

 

[X424]

I can certainly agree with the value of the pause button especially when trying out an intelligent flight mode for the first time. At least practise a few times how to get to it in a hurry, because I guarantee that the first time you need to use it you won't have the time to search for it.

 

[Daniel3257]

Has to be remembering the gimbal support removal before turning on the mavic.

 

[3phase]

My tip

When in doubt, don't fly out! Make sure you understand your settings especially RTH.
