    Getting in trouble with the law

    So I'm getting pulled in all different directions b/c of what was said to me in another forum. I was told, but do not believe, that if you fly to the inside of the airspace of a National Park but took off and landed outside the boundaries of it, you are safe. I personally find that hard to...

    Getting in trouble with the law

    For the past 6 months of having my drone and flying it legally while traveling around the country, I've done many research prior to launching it just to make sure I'm flying within city, state, and federal regulations. However, when I'm on YouTube or other social media sites, I often see people...

    Crashed. Gimbal overload. Camera issues - repaired unsuccessfully

    No squealing noises and the arm isn't bent. It's a brand new one that I bought.

    Crashed. Gimbal overload. Camera issues - repaired unsuccessfully

    I just switched out the vibration plate and rubber bands with brand new, OEM ones. Since I get the Gimbal Overload error for a few seconds and because of the unstable feed, is it safe to assume that it's the gimbal?

    Crashed. Gimbal overload. Camera issues - repaired unsuccessfully

    Nope not hot. Gets a little warm. Before when my previous one for sure was broken, it got hot the moment I turned it on, so I know that feeling. But this one is just warm and functions fine. Also, if my camera somewhat shakes when flying right and left, would that be a camera/gimbal issue or...

    Crashed. Gimbal overload. Camera issues - repaired unsuccessfully

    Same thing kind of happened to me. I bought a gimbal motor assembly along with the camera. I get video feeds now and can record and take pictures. But each time I start up the Mavic I get a few seconds worth of the Gimbal Overload message and then it goes away. Any idea why?

    Gimbal and Camera Issues

    So I just replaced my vibration plate (broken rubber band) and camera with gimbal (broken camera/strip). After installing both the new parts, I took it out to try it out. Immediately I noticed a few issues: The camera was at about a 35 to 45 degree angle, but after I recalibrated the gimbal it...

    RTH Fail

    So I've decided to not send it back to DJI. I agree that a lot of things could have been done to prevent the "crash". I reviewed the log several times today and these were the chain of events: The battery hit the RTH point but I cancelled it for about 10 seconds before initiating it manually...

    RTH Fail

    It hit the RTH point and came back on its own. I didn't begin the flight when it was already on low battery.

    RTH Fail

    I initiated the RTH function when my Mavic was running low on battery. Halfway from returning home, it started to descend on its own before it was directly above me. Since there were obstacles of different heights all around me I tried to force it back up. But it got to a point where it wouldn't...

    Where to fly from East Coast to West Coast

    Hi Everyone, I'm going on a road trip from the East Coast to the West Coast and I'm eager to take some nice aerial shots along the way. I'll be hitting some of the big cities and have done a lot of research of where to fly and where not to fly. But I'm constantly seeing posts/regulations saying...

    Noob in Oklahoma

    Is flying in OKC legal? Which places am I not allowed to fly? I'll be visiting next week but keep reading contradicting articles of whether or not I can fly there.
