    Lost Mavic Pro Platinum - Anyone ca figure why it didn't return to home?

    Well now...sar104 knows his stuff. If that post wasn't the most helpful in understanding what occurred, I don't what is. Well done!

    How do you guys deal with Children when flying?

    Parents, sometimes worse than the kids, who learn from their parents...

    Just ordered my Mavic Air... what should I know?

    I have flown my spark in two hurricanes, three tornados and seven typhoons. I would upload the videos to show you but my drone is 300 miles away from where I first took off... Of course, the larger drones can handle much stronger winds.

    YOUTUBE TO DELETE DRONE CHANNELS ?

    No it’s true! YouTube is deleting ALL drone videos. You must delete any and all drone videos you have ever uploaded to their service immediately! You can thank me later for this advice. Now back to YouPorn and hopefully that will never get removed, cause, well you know...

    Screen sensitivity settings, are there any ?

    Nope - and while I have had my non-ultra CS for quite a few months now, the touch screen sensitivity is still horrible and firmware updates have not been able to solved the issue.

    Crashed Mavic pro into a tree now my gimbal is messed up

    DJI Refresh replaces your aircraft for around $70 USD (first time, second replacement costs a bit more). Repairing the gimbal is an option, and while parts are relatively cheap, their labour charges are $65 USD/ hour. Of course, sending it to an authorized DJI repair facility would be the best...

    Mavic Pro sending Coordinates to Authorities

    Just fly your drone (legally) and have fun. Your in car GPS also displays your vehicle speed - I’m sure TomTom or whoever is not sending speed reports to your local authorities (under judicial authority or not) - or would. If you are still concerned, put your tin foil hat on and enjoy flying...

    A Day in San Francisco

    Isn’t it illegal to fly over 300’, illegal to fly over populated areas, public parks (federal or such), illegal to fly in low light conditions, illegal to fly out of “within sight of the aircraft”, illegal to fly over bridges and structures, or scare squirrels by illegally flying over trees...

    Drone strikes commercial aircraft (Canada)

    3.5 km from the airport and 450m up. This won’t help with the fight to amend the current interm drone regulations. It only takes one idiot... Drone strikes commercial aircraft in Quebec: Garneau

    Kid on bike tried to shoot my MP down.

    Haven’t seen the video but if I go by the previous comments, it appears you were “following” the person which is wrong. If that is what was done, it is actions like that which put the whole drone flying community in bad light with the public. Please fly your aircraft responsibly.

    New firmware 1000 for Mavic Pro. Anyone tried it?

    Yup, same here. I can plug in a max distance /height into the RC but the aircraft will stop at a height of 300 feet no matter the height set above that. And the app will indicate the standard “max height reached” warning. Strange...and kinda frustrating at the same time.
