    Am I the only who thinks the Mavic Air has the Camera the MPP should've had?

    You're right about that. There will always be something "newer and better" than the one you buy. This is the case with just about every consumer product out there. It is also how companies make tons of money from consumers to get them thinking they need this better drone even though the one...

    Not excited

    I already have a MPP and I'm not a fan of the Mavic Air. With that being said, I can see people that don't have a drone purchasing the Air since its better than then Spark but not as expensive as the Mavic Pro.

    Mavic Air? January 23, 2018

    Looks like Micro Center is having a in-store sale again on their DJI Spark Fly More Combo maybe to clear stock for the new Mavic Air. $399 in-store only for those of you that are near one and don't want to spend more on a Mavic Air. I suggest you call your local store before going out to one...

    Mavic Air? January 23, 2018

    Haha of course its not weird. I just hope you had bought the Spark Fly More Combo when Microcenter had it on sale for $399. It was in-store only and wasn't listed on their website. Or get Best Buy to price match it and get a free $50 GC with a purchase of a Spark promotion they had going on...

    Mavic Air? January 23, 2018

    Hoping its a drone that bridges the gap between the Spark and MP. Better not be a MP2 considering I just bought a MPP not too long ago. I'd like to enjoy this one for a bit before having to think about buying another one.

    How Many Have Lost their Mavic Pro Platinum This Year 2018

    Don't think a CPL filter would affect obstacle avoidance. Since the filter is on your camera and Obstacle Avoidance would be detected by the 2 sensors on the front of the done.

    Problem with my Mavic Pro Platinum

    I know this might be silly to ask but I'm just pursuing all avenues here. Did you make sure to remove the gimbal clamp? Also have you tried doing a gimbal calibration? If neither of these options work then you might be able to send it for their standard manufacturer warranty. Not exactly sure...

    Prop Bandolier Setup

    Thought I'd share a way of holding spare props in my hard case instead of having them bunched up in one spot. Bought a box of sew on and adhesive backed velcro off Amazon and cut them to size to fit my particular case. Cut the adhesive/rough side into 1in. sqaures and then the...

    Mavic Air? January 23, 2018

    Wondering if anyone else has heard rumors of a "Mavic Air" supposedly being announced on January 23. Was reading a article and it states that it will probably a smaller and faster version of the Mavic Pro with a price point between $600-$900 to help bridge that gap between the Spark and Mavic...

    Huge dilemma with DJI return home policy

    This post was interesting to say the least.

    Hello everyone. New pilot from Northern VA.

    Yeah, I'm just glad that I don't live another 10 miles further up north. Then I'd be in that D.C. NFZ radius. Thanks for the links. I'll be sure to check them out.

    Hello everyone. New pilot from Northern VA.

    Yeah there are a lot of restricted areas up here in Northern VA like Springfield since you're in that D.C. NFZ bubble. I'm in Woodbridge though and could of swore that there wasn't a TFR/NOTAM in my area a few weeks ago unless I was mistaken. But on DJI's Geo its saying I'm all good. So I'm...

    Hello everyone. New pilot from Northern VA.

    New pilot and owner of the Mavic Pro Platinum Fly More Combo here. Registered my drone, been reading a lot of threads, useful articles, reading the owners manual (booklet & DJI's website), and watching YouTube videos. Thought I'd finally introduce myself. Any helpful tips or tricks would be...
