    Anyone change their control stick configuration to mimic FPS games?

    Ha I thought I was the only one! Tried the first few days on Mode 1, and found it non-intuitive, being a longtime FPS gamer. Switched to Mode 3 and I'm instantly a much better pilot. :) Makes much more sense! The only thing better would be U/D on the right stick controlling the gimbal, and use...

    How to Exceed Max Altitude for Mountain Flying?

    Shoot. I have a cabin that is at the base of a rather large slope... about 3000ft high. I was hoping to be able to fly from the cabin to the summit (you can drive to top lookout), but looks like I'll only be able to fly DOWN to the cabin from the top. The lateral distance is only about 1km. How...

    precision landing protocol question

    I've done a lot of testing with this in the last few days, as I had similar question. If I take off normally, and just ascend straight up to 10+ meters, and then fly away, it's been 100% successful on precision RTH. No waiting or anything special required. I've even rotated on the way up to 10m...

    Landing Pads and Return to Home Accuracy

    Okay dumb question alert.... Do I need to press the RTH button on the controller, or swipe the RTH on the tablet, to do a precision landing? Is it automatic regardless of the RTH mechanism? My RTH height is 50m due to some tall high voltage towers in my area... if I can see the drone (say 10 m...

    ND Filters for Mavic

    I had the PGY Tech ones in my hands in 48 hours... Amazon.ca had them for while, and shipped via Prime. No complaints... A set of Polar Pro cinemas up here will cost almost $200, and I the PGY ones cost me $59.99 to my door. They can be installed pre-calibration and work as described.

    Phones and tablets that work well with DJI GO

    I have a Tab 4 and a 8.4 Pro. The 4 didn't work great - lots of jittery video and lag. The 8.4 Pro works perfectly! No lag, very stable, and great size... I can finally SEE what I'm filming!!!

    Who in Canada....

    Scored the 'Combo' at Staples yesterday. Lucked out - been looking for weeks and found ONE in stock in Calgary. Turns out it was even the closest store in town. :) No pre-order and STILL got my Mavic in time for my Hawaii trip. :)

    Greetings from CANADA!

    Good morning fellow Mavic pilots! Just picked up the LAST in-stock Mavic Pro 'fly more' combo in the city (Calgary AB), or maybe the country? yesterday morning. What a fantastic little machine!!! Didn't have a pre-order, and simply stumbled upon one in stock from Staples. Guys are selling the...
