I called the USAA toll free number and added to my home owners policy. But you must have USAA insurance.

I sent an email to the 2 airports near me. Told them my FAA number, where I'd be flying and that I was obeying the FAA rules for drones. Left it open to when I'd fly and sent it to the GM of the airports. I have a sent date and time logged. So I'm covered.

So I've found when call an agent and say "I want to insure my drone" they say no wayyyyyyyy. State Farm in California doesn't insure them no matter what. HOWEVER, if you have home owners insurance you can get "Personal Property Insurance" for your Mavic. I called mine and said I want to...

Some Law Enforcement Officers follow all laws my friend. What are you going to do WHEN a drone causes injury or death to someone close to you. Oh well....at least he wasn't speeding. No, I'm sure you'll be running to the nearest lawyer. Please don't tell me we have laws and you can break...

Yeah I know that. But I travel a lot and just about everywhere I go I check online for "Drone flying regulations" and add my destination to the end of that, and every destination has some kind of regulation(s). I may be in the minority but I do follow the rules. Why? Because I want to be able...

So I'm guessing you guys don't follow the FAA rules on the "Line Of Sight" restriction. You just go fly as high and as far as you want. Please tell me where you are so I can avoid that area.

All my stuff didn't fit in the same box (Don't know why they don't use a bigger box) so they sent it in two boxes. Both were shipped together and arrived together. My guess would be that there has been a rush to order. Most only order ONE Mavic, but lots of spare batteries, props etc. and I...

I've been thinking of what DJI might do in the next version of the Mavic. One thought was a second camera to the rear or to all four sides. So with that in mind I thought maybe you folks with 3D printers can come up with a mount to be added to the Mavic where the rear landing gear is with the...

You wouldn't want to yaw the gimble. Why? Because then you would see the landing gear on each prop. You yaw the Mavic which has the catch up feature that does yaw the gimble only a few degrees to make a smooth transition. When you yaw the Mavic remember to do slowly so the video looks nice...

I don't know if anyone mentioned it to you yet and getting helpful information after your Mavic has flown away is bittersweet But,; 1. I called State Farm Insurance and got the drone covered for any type of loss.....35.00 a year no detuctable 2. Install a TRACKIMO GPS locator. You'll find it...

Yep!!! Just as I thought but never hurts to confirm everything. Thanks BD0G and SkyRider appreciate the response.

I got my Mavic today. Not new to flying been doing it a while, however I am new this stage of technology being so advanced. I did the setup and got everything going.....did the beginner flights and all went perfectly. I do have couple of questions I haven't seen addressed in the forum, or I...

I received a practice drone from my kids and have gotten proficient with that. Got my starter training you might say. Can fly it in fast mode so I'm pretty confident getting out there. The transition should go pretty smoothly I hope. Now to get the video I've longed for AND the fun of flying...

I ordered my Mavic on January 6 from DJI and got the notice today that it has shipped. Not bad, 7 days and on its way. :)Thumbswayup
