    Could anyone give a brief dummys guide to ND filters?

    Polar Pro has 16, 32, 64 (which is nearly useless) - unless they've added a new set since I made that post.

    Yet another bad news story for our hobby

    Not many, because drones cheap and easy enough for any untrained, unpracticed, clueless idiot to fly have only existed for a few years. Give it some more time and a moron will take down an airliner or cause some other serious incident and then you can kiss your hobby goodbye. OR we can start...

    Yet another bad news story for our hobby

    Because, especially on this Mavic forum with lots of newb owners and people that never really flew RC, a great number are irresponsible fliers themselves.

    Antenna Signal Penetration (careful now!)

    More power is going to give better penetration, but there's limits. You aren't going to penetrate multiple houses, hills, large buildings, tree trunks, concrete, etc. no matter what.

    Antenna Signal Penetration (careful now!)

    You can't improve penetration on bands with known-bad penetration. That's why cell, radio, TV, etc. don't use 2.4ghz and 5.8ghz. Also, inb4 "I lost my Mavic" thread.

    Just a privacy heads up - Or lack of !

    Fly with your device in airplane mode. Problem solved.

    My Mavic Was Shot Out of the Sky

    You can bet that if you were hovering 30ft over my property for multiple minutes I'd shoot your Mavic down also. Play stupid games and win stupid prizes.

    How did you get your start in flying drones?

    Started with an Airhogs single rotor heli that only had throttle and yaw control, which was really weird and nearly impossible to fly. Moved to a Blade SR, which involved training gear, lots of crashing, and lots of rebuilding. Once I got the hang of that, everything else was a piece of cake.

    Maximum starting altitude like 10000 feet(2500M)

    5000m is 16,400ft.

    Maximum starting altitude like 10000 feet(2500M)

    You're missing a zero in there. It's more like 16,400ft.

    Geo system shows on phone, not on tablet

    What firmware are you on? As of the latest firmware, you no longer have the option to turn GEO off. As such, I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't show it at all. Someone else will have to confirm that, as I haven't upgraded yet. And for the record, I still haven't resolved this issue either.

    New policy about firmware update and restrictions

    Absolutely nothing because, again, they've made their intentions very clear. They want people using the new GEO system, period. You will now be forced to use it... and there's nothing wrong with it because anyone with a P4 and newer craft has been using it all along, likely without even knowing it.

    New policy about firmware update and restrictions

    No inside track here. I just happen to be capable of reading what they've written that very clearly stated their intentions.

    New policy about firmware update and restrictions

    Have you looked it up on DJI's web based GEO and NFZ maps? Is it a red zone on the GEO map?

    New policy about firmware update and restrictions

    Just someone that has common sense.
