I am a Mavic and M2P owner, and a remote pilot certificate holder. I am planning to hold some classes for some 4-H youth aged 12 to 16 to teach them about drones. I will be using Mavic Minis; however, I would like to get two "trainer" drones for testing their basic flight skills before they...

I am preparing to conduct some learning sessions about drones for our local county extension 4-H groups. I will have 3 Mavic minis to work with for teaching kids how to pilot drones. I know there are very advanced farming applications for drones, but I want to start with relatively simple...

Following up. I went with Mavic 2 Pro. Unboxed tonight, and it is MAGNIFICENT!!! It is solid, very robust, and I am quite excited to begin flights with it. There is only one flaw which to me is quite a "boo-boo" on DJI's part - why in the world did they make the three access covers for the...

I have tried to initiate a purchase through DJI, but got no response to their automated request system. What purchase avenue do any of you recommend? I am thinking of trying B&H Photo . . . any experiences good or bad with them?

It's ME that's confused. I have been reading many of the threads here and looking at the DJI site, and it still leaves me with confusion and questions. Please take a look at what I THINK I understand about these, and let me know where I'm wrong, plus please give any tips you may have. I fly a...

I am needing a second drone, to make my current Mavic Pro my backup. I really like the thermal capability of the Enterprise Dual, but also like the speed and versatility of the Inspire 2. If I get the I2, I could only afford the X4S camera. Please compare and contrast these two, if you have...

I am reaching a point where the complexity of my edited videos is taxing my computer in a pretty serious way. I would like to hear other experiences concerning laptop vs desktop, Windows vs Mac, processors and processor speeds, RAM, etc. I usually take video in 4K (lets me zoom when necessary)...

Thanks. Yes, it is 107. What restricted areas do you see? I will be flying no more than 50 yards from the gps I listed.

I would like input into an airspace question, please! For section 107 remote pilots, this will be a little quiz! I have an appointment to video an event at the Wren’s Nest near Atlanta. The digital coordinates are 33.737740/-84.422214. I calculate this to N33 44.26 and W84 25.33. It is...

Got the Mini 4 yesterday, and the tablet holder and cable (both Skyreat) today. Took some test flights already, and the Mini 4 is BEAUTIFUL. It is a luxury for me to have a dedicated device, but I think that was part of my problem with my Note4. Since my Note4 was also my phone and text and...

I should have the Mini4 tomorrow. What settings will I need to be concerned with? I probably will not get cellular service right away, though.

No, I didn't look at that. No particular reason, though.

The saga continues . . . Based on the tremendous feedback from many of you, I have purchased the Mini 4 Wifi+Cellular directly from Apple. It was available only in the 128GB storage level. The price was $566. So, I took a very big gulp and hit the BUY button. Thank you all for your assistance!

A little bit more guidance, please, because I am not familiar with iPad and Apple products. I see a lot of iPad Mini 4s advertised as WiFi+Cellular, and many others as WiFi+4G. For now, based on other feedback, I just want to ensure I have the GPS function on the iPad Mini 4. Also, I have one...

How important is the model number? For example, I see a lot of variations on model numbers like MK9G2LL/A. Also, I have searched both eBay and Amazon, and the Mini 4 is hard to find. What is the best place to find a Mini 4 WiFi + Cellular? Anyone know any good reliable sources? For those...
