    Need some battery advice

    Hi guys, I fly the Mavic Pro, 30+ hours under my belt. It's been a great drone for me. No mishaps. I did however put it away during winter (for the last 4+ months) and the weather is getting better so I looked it over today and discovered all three of my batteries seem to be still fully charged...

    How do you guys deal with Children when flying?

    Just point in a direction away from you and yell "THE FREE CANDY TRUCK IS HERE - THE FREE CANDY TRUCK IS HERE!" They should disperse immediately.

    Since I bought my mavic, always crash... so sad

    At least it seems DJI has identified a hardware problem and is fixing it. I would also be very certain about the plastic on the sensors being removed, otherwise it will go into obstacle avoidance mode, but I don't think that is the issue. Once you get it back re calibrate everything for your...

    This has to be a GPS issue.

    Are DJI goggles still best option?

    I have the same issue. I wear 2.0 readers and it was suggested I but stronger ones (double - 4.0) for use with the goggles. The strain was incredible and I couldn't deal with it. Maybe you'll fare better. I returned mine.

    Are DJI goggles still best option?

    I had them and returned them. I have some advice for you. Buy them from someone you have the option to return for a full refund. I have less than perfect vision and DJIs "one size fits all" approach to focus was impossible for me to adapt to. I only need reading glasses, but even with them I was...

    DJI Goggles & Reading Glasses

    Oh I certainly agree that their drones are excellent. I have the Phantom 3 Pro and the Mavic Pro. Both are outstanding. For that matter, even their Goggles are amazing with their resolution, their intuitive touchpad controls, etc. I just don't think they thought out the design well enough to...

    DJI Goggles & Reading Glasses

    I have a better idea. Why doesn't DJI make a better product? No two people's eyes are identical. Even the $10 VR goggles from Odd Lots have both fwd/back and dioptic adjustments, yet a $500 pair can't? People have vision problems from 8 to 80 yrs old, at this price they should have these...

    Mavic distance is a joke!

    Confusion over start-up procedure

    This is my sequence. Always works for me.

    I see so many guys posting and asking why their Mavic crashed

    Guys, I am also an aircraft pilot and from what I see the true cause of crashes is most often pilot error. When you learn to become an aviator more than 70% of the training you will receive is related to emergencies. Engine outs, instrumentation failure, weather related issues, issues in...

    DJI Goggles & Reading Glasses

    Thank you Lone Droner. I'm leaning toward the DJI Gogs and if I do I'll buy some stronger readers to use while flying
