    Fly Mavic Pro over ocean

    I lost my drone over the ocean so I suggest you do be careful. I stayed close to the coastline. I flew high enough so as not to worry about the downward sensors. I had confirmed my home point. I under-estimated the wind when you are flying off shore - it can be much stranger than what you are...

    Cheap Mavic accessory that saves me a lot of hassle

    I had the same issue with the sun shade so I simply cut away some of the plastic (the top of the opening) with a box cutter and it no longer got in the way of pics/video even in acceleration/deceleration

    MAVIC CRASHED IN TO SEA IN IT'S FIRST FLIGHT

    I lost my Mavic into the ocean as well. It was a little windy but only about 12mph. What happened was I set my home point, flew up about 30 ft and out over the ocean but very close to shore. I was in Maui and wanted a quick video of the shoreline. About 1 min 52 sec into flight, just after I...
