    Flying in your own neighborhood

    I do all the time. Since this is my neighborhood, it's not much of a problem. I don't do much in urban areas though.

    Forest Transition - a work in progress...

    I thought of doing something like this. I started trying to set it up and have run into a major life disruption. Seeing this has reignited that inspiration, and once through this issue, I hope to follow through. Since you say a work in progress, I look forward to seeing the complete cycle of...

    Timelapse - July 19, 2019

    So I'm not the only one. So often I play back my footage and ask myself: "Why did you make that boneheaded maneuver?"

    Timelapse - July 19, 2019

    Good stuff. I've been trying to accomplish something like that. I've done pretty good with a Go Pro on the ground, but not with my Mavic.

    BC's Dangerous CROWN Mountain

    After all the effort you put into that, I must say "Awesome video of a grand and beautiful place". Well done!

    Disconnecting during flight

    I had that problem too. I still had control. If I messed with the USB cord, it would intermittently reconnect. I checked the lower USB port that I use, and the plastic part inside wiggled. I may have bumped that end on something, or dropped it. Anyhow, I sent it to DJI. I got a message...

    *Help* Mavic disconnecting from app after 1-2 minutes of flight each time.

    This is the third time I've sent devices to them. Always had good luck. This is only the controller, so a new or refurbished is OK. As long as it works.

    *Help* Mavic disconnecting from app after 1-2 minutes of flight each time.

    I had this issue recently. It would connect and disconnect constantly. I use the standard USB port on the bottom. If I wiggled the cable (and I tried 4 or 5 different ones) it would connect, until I bumped the cable. Finally, I took the point of an X Acto knife, and by touching the edge of...

    Dumbest ever mistake

    Didn't get his name, and don't personally know Ted Poe. Plus, I'm in Illinois, not Texas. "Lucky me", huh?

    Dumbest ever mistake

    I was flying from along a lightly traveled county road, when I friendly guy stopped in his truck.to check it out. I let go of the sticks, leaving it hover at about 150 feet over the nearby wetland. After chatting for a few minutes, I noticed a change in the loudness of the props. For some...

    USB connector

    I took a close look at the port. I took the point of an x acto knife and was able to wiggle the plastic bar that the contacts are embedded in. I tried it on USB ports on another device and they don't move. That tells me that there is something wrong with this USB port. I guess I have to...

    USB connector

    Yes. At least 5 of different sizes and lengths.

    USB connector

    Thats the one I'm using. I've never had an issue on any other device with a standard USB so that's why I want to make sure it's the problem. I only use the side connector for charging. By the way, the connector on the tablet (and phone, which I've also tried) is a C type and doesn't seem to be...

    USB connector

    I've had my Mavic Pro Platinum for over a year now. About a month ago, it started disconnecting, even when close to the controller. I'd mess with the tablet and the cable and it would connect. It's gotten worse and now disconnects and reconnects constantly. I can usually get it to connect if...
