    Does anyone feel the Mavic Pro 2 will be underwhelming?

    I like the current Mavic Pro. What I would want out of the version 2.0 would essentially be a better camera. More battery life would be good too. But a much better camera would interest me. If the 2.0 version used the same batteries and controller, and there was a package that just sold the...

    What is commercial work?

    Not sure of the buddy's tax status (which would be the root of the question - for profit entity or just a casual group). He does do this in his spare time, but spare time activities can be commercial. He does charge for attending the rally. I think its a charity, but that would still be...

    What is commercial work?

    I have a quick question regarding what is commercial work. - I took stills of my mother's house and the realtor used one of them in the MLS listing. I received no compensation for this work. - A buddy wants some video and still images to promote a motorcycle rally he hosts. If I do this...

    CrystalSky Charger

    I'm considering purchasing a Crystalsky and I'd like to know too. What's the smart play here? I'm considering this but am still figuring out the price. $479 for the CyrstalSky, $79 for the mount, $??? for the charger. It adds up in a hurry. Wish somebody sold a better monitor option for...

    Compass interference & flying from a cruise ship

    I was on vacation and launching the drone from roadside pullouts. Not wanting to have a car park on my drone or park where it might land if RTH, I thought I had a brilliant idea, I'll launch it from the roof of my rental car. Total fail. Drone wouldn't launch due to magnetic interference. Oh...

    Compass interference & flying from a cruise ship

    This guy apparently has no problems flying near the ships, but he takes off and lands on land. His channel has several videos about chasing cruise ships, but I've only seen this one.

    Compass interference & flying from a cruise ship

    It very well may. I've had my MP for less than a month and it is my first real drone. So, I'm not up on every feature available on the software.

    Filming a boat, the amazing XO270rs

    Compass interference & flying from a cruise ship

    I wish DJI would have a mode that "returns to controller" instead of a "home" location. This would be very handy for flying from moving platforms. Additionally having a manual or software method to remain in ATTI mode might make it easier to fly near ships.

    It has come to this.....

    Hopefully the Navy found him a more suitable job than flying multi-million dollar jets.

    It has come to this.....

    I'm confused. If I start my Mavic with the gimbal clamp on, I get an error. To remove the gimbal clamp, you have to remove the cover. Are you removing the clamp, then replacing the cover and then forgetting to take it off? My cover has a silicon cover that will block the image. If yours...

    Flying near airports - possible?

    It does not lock you as of today. I have flown near (3-5 miles and little airports) a couple of airports and a military base (4.5 miles away and only below treetop) and only get a warning.

    Gettng Cold Feet - Is Hassling The Norm or the Exception?

    I understand you're hesitation. I haven't experienced a negative encounter yet, but you know there is the vocal minority out there that will be ready to whine at a moments notice. Just follow the law and be considerate and you'll be fine. There are some people so tightly wound that you or I...

    How and where do you store your Mavic?

    I bought these cases and I put the cases inside a backpack. I store all the chargers, spare batteries, and cords in the Mavic Pro case that came with the "fly more" set. Amazon.com: DJI Mavic Pro Carrying Case Foldable Drone Body and Remote Controller Transmitter Bag Hardshell Housing Bag...
