Thanks for that feedback. That was my understanding that it only knew AGL as you described. Just thought I'd seen something about folks not being able to take off when they were over a certain ASL... but maybe they were actually in a NFZ or something.

I'm planning to take a trip to ride around the San Juan Mountains in Colorado and I thought I read something about how the Mavic won't even take off if ground level is 8000+ feet above sea level? For example, the top of Imogene Pass is 13,114 feet high. Could I launch the Mavic from there? Is...

My local State Farm agents said they'd only give you coverage if you had a Home insurance policy with them.

Oh and the Huawei bootloader unlock website doesn't seem to be working anymore. Maybe I can't root this sucker anymore.

I cannot get this file to download. I can find other versions of the apk, but the one under this link won't let me download it. Just keeps giving me pop ups

I think the OP is trying to get an idea of what it would take/cost to make his MP air worthy again

At this point, I'd be getting in the phone with DJI support. Something isn't right with your drone.

Verizon also drops plans to sell Huawei smartphones Basically, the US gov't was worried about Chinese spying through cell phones and creating the 5G specs.

Are you both running 4.19 still or do you stay current on the App version? I ordered one through Amazon as none of the walmarts around me carry them any more. I definitely don't need cell service. If I want to cache a map, I can always connect to my phone as a hotspot so this will be a perfect...

Nice! They are remarkable devices!

How are the Huawei phones holding up? Looks like my local stores are out of them all right now but I'd love to have an inexpensive device that works reliably so I can keep my regular phone active on me.

Heck, I probably would've put it in beginner mode and showed him how to fly it. You know, so he could see how tiny the picture is and stuff ;) Then again, I have LEO's in my family and several friends who are LEO's so I just treat them with respect and talk to them like humans. I did have a few...

I took off from tables or rocks away from the beach and hand caught when it was time to land. It was a bit too windy to fly the first 4 days, but I did my best to make up for it the next 3 days. I even met a couple of other Mavic Pilots who were staying at the same resort so that was fun. Now I...

Thanks! I picked up the polarpro filters after reading a thread about the MP's camera over water and bright lighting. What about taking off/landing near the beach? I'd imagine sand would be an issue for the motors? That'll be the next thing I search for in the forum.

I'm heading to Turks tomorrow and was wondering the same thing. I haven't found anything prohibiting drones or requiring permits, registration, or insurance. Just basically don't be a jerk when flying it. Is there anything else I should be aware of?
