    New Firmware . . . v01.03.0800

    And that is what the true problem with the new firmware is! No matter how many .400 downgrades you do. And now for the $1300 question: what happens when you have to send in a mavic or remote for warranty or refresh?

    WT actual ****!!

    Let me guess iPhone 7 or 7 plus? Yea it's a known issue, you can warranty for it I believe (I haven't yet) have a spare lighting cable ready to plug into the bottom port of the controller (unplug the side port) and into the phone and it will take care of the issue. I am debating when a good...

    DJI to restrict non-compliant drones at next software update

    I would hazard a guess this is DIRECTLY related to the VM copy of .400 firmware downgrade. .400 was the last good (arguably) firmware that let one use the foil trick and take off in ATTI mode. Since the VM would let ANYONE with a mavic permanently downgrade their hardware DJI felt they lost...

    14 hours in jail for flying drone..

    Oh I get that and I am sure the facts will come out in due time as he is fighting it in court however the following quote: Makes it seem the CHP helicopter was close enough for him to yield the way (and maybe he was doing it after he saw/heard it who knows). Maybe next time he will at least...

    14 hours in jail for flying drone..

    I do feel bad for the dude at some point he should have probably stood a bit firmer on the fact he/UAS was outside the sign zone they posted for the NFL thing, here is a link on FAA's take on this,: https://www.faa.gov/uas/resources/law_enforcement/media/FAA_UAS-PO_LEA_Guidance.pdf...

    Motorcycle hard trunk and Mavic. Is it safe for a ride?

    I pack my Fly More Combo Bag into a Giant Loop Fandango Tank Bag (straps mount, no magnets) on my paint shaker of a KTM. So far it survived 1k offroad miles in Baja, MX and another 2k+ on a recent trip to UT. Here is a friend's edit:
