    Finally got around to the updates but a bit late to go fly right now. Firmware installed fine but I did it via PC which first gives an update of geofences required but fails since the latest firmware was not installed.. Got the firmware via PC installed which went smoothly. My app for some...

    New York's Finger Lakes

    My In-laws live in Canada so I do get by often enough but I don't think my wife would like me stopping for an extra hour when the drive is about 9 hours. Actually the place I want to go fly at is: Google Maps There is a **** down the way and would be really neat to fly it. Not sure if a...

    Unacceptable video - help or thoughts?

    Are you getting video from your phone or the card on the Mavic? I suggest checking the video on the Mavic by plugging it into a PC via the micro usb. See if that works well. I have not had an issue with recording yet but I have been within visual range so far.

    Birds

    Good question. They seem to come in around 100 feet. Not a big deal except for the landing part. It makes you really nervous as they are likely about 10 feet from the Mavic and flying right by. I would upload the last video but they just streak by.

    Birds

    Just experienced the bird chasing. Nothing in the sky but soon as I got above the house level....about 10-15 small birds..not sure if they liked the sound but the Mavic was 2X their size...They were darting all around it. Not fun landing like that but they avoided the Mavic.... Lauched again...

    Help Please: Sys Warning

    You can buy a simple case on Amazon and such for like 20 bux...actually 2 cases...one for the Mavic and one for the remote...then a few battery bags... It will make it easy to put in a backpack. I do not use my that way as I have a single case for everything. For the durable aspect, I...

    Help Please: Sys Warning

    My 2 cents is only buy from an "approved" DJI store or bigger retail. I have mine now for only a few weeks and now issues. I picked it up from Newegg while on sale. Also file your complaint quickly as Ebay also has some protection plans.

    Beginners Mode - Actually Very Dangerous

    I've actually stayed in beginner mode as I get the hang of controls and such. This is even better near the house when there are too many obstacles to safely fly at speed (for me). It has NEVER automatically landed. Either I had to lower to a height to make it want to land (it beeps away) or...

    Homeowner Claims Airspace Up To 500 ft Above His House - Legal?

    Not just that...what goes up will definitely come back down. Not a smart idea.

    Do i need to register my drone??

    Hah. Fake news. Couldn't resist sorry. Anyway, you have a point on the overall cost is low but Im not seeing the value. I have no real issue on getting a license and such. I do this for driving, fishing, etc... I get some value out of those. I will likely just register when I start...
