I have a macbook pro circa 2011. It is really slow to do a couple of things with 4k video. Importing the video takes a while, there is some lag when clipping the video, there is definite lag in applying effects, and then it is slow to export...Like walk away and go do something else for a long...

I would highly recommend you not do this without a really good reason. Can I imagine filming police during some sort of protest situation...Yes, but I would hate to see the pilot end up making the news because they crashed into a crowd, or because they ended up disturbing a crime scene in some...

So I was considering getting some sort of tablet because my Samsung galaxy s5 won't let me run the mavic if I have more than one type of software installed (not running) at the same time. SO...I considered getting some sort of tablet so I could also have the benefit of a bigger screen. While...

Potential FIX! I had the same problem. I found that if I have more than just the DJI Go App installed for controlling the mavic I get teh disconnected error. I tried installing Lichi and DJI Go to see which one I liked better. Having both installed made it so that neither worked. I...

I have had a similar problem twice now. I solved it by uninstalling all of the other apps except for DJI GO. When I first installed DJI GO I also installed the Litche app to see which one I liked better. It wouldn't connect with either app. When I uninstalled the litche app it worked fine...

Hey all, I am relatively new to Aerial Photography. I've been flying quads for a while now, but with my phantom 1 it was just sort of aiming the go pro at what I wanted and hope the pictures came out ok. With the mavic I am finding myself setting things the way I did when I was shooting...

Mavic people are all just salty cause we don't have our mavics yet...Got mine yesterday and flew it for the first time today...A student of mine got the phantom 4 and yes...I am impressed by both. I ended up buying a mavic from someone who got two best buy orders by accident. I ended up...

I regularly fly out of Seatac with my quads. Don't have my mavic yet, but the same rules should apply. I use a lipo bag for my batteries. (they have to be in carryon). I also put each bag in its own ziploc bag inside of the lipo fire resistant bag. I travel with over 10 batteries in the bag...

After a crash... I like to fly race quads, Currently I have a phantom 1, and I have a mavic on the way. Race quads crash a lot. After a crash I check over my quad visually... Focus on things like: Props - look for splits, chips, and frosting (where the plastic has turned white from being...

Glad you got something working. Nothing worse then a new bird that you can't fly.

Just watched a video where the guy was trying to connect using the USB port. He couldn't get it to work unless he completely unplugged the cable from the side. Hopefully you don't have a bum remote... Here is a video showing how to connect a remote if it isn't already connected. Best of...

IMHO the DJI goggles will be of limited benefit when they do come out. I fly FPV almost daily. 250 race quads. I love the experience. When I originally ordered my Mavic I knew that the experience of flying it would be a different one. My purpose in flying it will be a different one. I...

cancelled my 12/09 order yesterday. Ended up buying one off of someone else on the forum who got two by accident. There was talk of shipments originally scheduled for 1/1 shipping on 1/3, I'm figuring there will probably be a huge shipment then. Best of luck to all and happy holidays. DB

Yes. There is a way to turn off geofencing. You have to be logged in to the DJI website I believe, and you have to basically agree that you have authorization to fly there. I haven't done it yet because I still don't have a mavic. I teach at a school that is near a naval air station. We...

The way I think it works...Newegg sold the mavics in batches...Each batch had its own estimated ship date...As each batch sold out then they moved on to the next batch. So up until about 12/3 orders were supposed to ship on the 1st. After that on the 5th, and now on to the 13th...The orders...
