    No mange visible on that wolf, that is just an uncommon fur pattern.

    Flew into the lake...at 20MPH

    Check the gimbal - maybe a corner popped out of its space and is hung up on an edge. Hard to explain but you will notice it if you look at the corners of the ‘baseplate’ thingy the gimbal attaches to...

    What is this photography phenomenon called?

    I am sure you have all seen it - sometimes the landscape (especially a skyline) imagery is washed out and little contrast but if you tip the gimbal downwards, it quickly increases the contrast, color, etc. What is the name of this phenomenom so I can research it and maybe avoid it? Thanks in advance

I made the mistake of not setting my RTH altitude to something reasonable - probably 100m or...

    newbie questions...

    Sorry if these have been addressed in the past.... Does my smartphone (iPhone 6Plus) require cellular service to work with my Mavic Pro Pt controller? My wife will be upgrading her phone soon and I was hoping to use the 6-Plus after it is disengaged from our Verizon plan. Can I download my...
