Thanks for the response. I should've been a little more specific...what is the point of "landing protection?" I have mine switched off because I prefer to have full control of the aircraft as it is landing, because I feel I can be more precise than the auto-land feature.

Just curious, what exactly is the point of the downward sensors for landing? I feel like 99.9% of the time I feel a heck of a lot safer bringing the drone down to the ground on my own vs. that auto land it does.

Thanks. I don't see anything in that airspace on the DJI map.

I'm not looking to break any regulations, but I want to fly over a lake nearby and I see I'll be nearby the 5 mile radius of a seaplane base. UAV Forecast doesn't indicate that this is a NFZ, so I'm guessing it wouldn't auto-land into the water, but I want to be careful. My intention is to...

Check this out for size: Mavic Pro/Water Bottle Holder Thing I'm sure this has been posted around here, but I stumbled upon it recently and picked one up for when I want to bring the Mavic hiking, as it conveniently matches and attaches to my CamelBak. Here's the amazon link. Perfectly holds...

I rarely use RTH only because I can get the Mavic landed much faster by flying it manually. I mostly use RTH when I'm trying to show off how neat it is to someone else :D.

Nope, no filters.

Had a strange gimbal failure yesterday while using Active Track. As the subject changed directions and started running, the Mavic seemed to just barely maintain its target, but before it could start moving the gimbal threw itself into an awkward angle and got stuck. Here's the video: Dropbox -...

Thanks all! It's definitely a great place to fly as the backdrops are beautiful in mostly all directions.

This holiday weekend was my first opportunity to fly the drone out over water (nerve-wracking) and get some awesome shots. Really pleased with the way the Mavic handled the wind and low-light later in the day. The RAW files retain more than enough information for me to get the results I'm...
