    Greetings from Marietta, maybe when the weather finally gets good on a weekend we can have a meet-up.

    Gun-Firing drone

    This video is from 2015 by the way, not really news anymore.

    Mavic Pro

    Good to know, I'll have to try WMP instead of VLC on my crappy laptop.

    Mavic Pro

    What app are you trying to play the videos in? VLC is a good free media player that you may want to try. If you filmed in 4K and your computer's video card isn't very good, it may struggle to play them.

    I bought one, did you?

    I would guess it would be comparable in size to the MP1.

    I bought one, did you?

    Occusync instead of WiFi, a display on the RC, increased distance, increased flight time, increased flight speed.

    WARNING: Don't fly the Mavic from your car

    Taking off from your hand is definitely the way to go if there isn't a suitable spot on the ground.

    Keeping Batteries Warm for a Few Days

    If you are sleeping in a sleeping bag, you can put them in the bottom near your feet while you sleep. This is how i dry my clothes out when I go backpacking. Alternatively, wrapping them in a down jacket or blanket will do a good job in insulating them from the temp.

    Experience with Hangar 360?

    Make sure that DJI GO 4 is not running in the background while you try and use Hangar. They will compete for access to the gimbal and DJI will win.

    High tension wires/ Power lines

    Yeah it's hard to justify getting State Farm if you already have the Refresh. The advantage with State Farm is you can make a claim when your drone is lost, Refresh requires you to be in possession of your bird to make a claim.

    High tension wires/ Power lines

    I would definitely calibrate gimbal and compass before next flight to be safe. I would recommend getting insurance on it, there are a few threads on here that tell you who to contact depending on what state you live in. Search State Farm at the top and you should find it. I have a Personal...

    High tension wires/ Power lines

    It's possible it could've been coincidence, but it was operating flawlessly when I was just up the road from that spot. Only when I got underneath the lines did I start receiving Magnetic Interference Warnings and then when I had the brief control loss.

    High tension wires/ Power lines

    Maybe high tension is not an accurate description of these wires. I attached a picture of the area below, as you can see there are lots of wires above.

    High tension wires/ Power lines

    I had serious issues when I flew underneath some large power lines. Thankfully I was only a few feet off the ground, the sticks were not responding to my input at all and the gimbal seemed to have a mind of its' own. I was able to run over to it and hand catch it, but I learned my lesson for sure!
