    Portable Car Charger for Mavic Air Batteries

    I'm looking for alternative charging options while on an upcoming vacation. I came across this car charger and wanted to ask what others are using before making a purchase. Even if its a slow charge anything beats a dead battery and I may be limited while in the Fjords. Thanks in advance for any...

    Shortened Battery Life in Cold Conditions

    Hello friends! can anyone tell me if the battery life is shortened only when operating in cold conditions or can it drain when not in use. I will be heading to Norway and want footage of the famous Trolltunga (Troll's Tongue). It is an entire day of hiking (8 hours) and weather conditions are...

    Heading to Santiago and Easter Island with Mavic Pro

    @Kevin_Hinshaw if you find yourself back in mainland Chile I recommend you checking out the coast there (Vina Del Ma, Zapallar and Papudo) has some amazing coastline which is great for drones). Hope this helps.

    Heading to Santiago and Easter Island with Mavic Pro

    Hey Kevin, yes I did. You have to be careful to be respectful of the statues as I didn't see anybody using drones but it seems like common sense that they aren't allowed. I went to Ahu Akivi early in the morning and got some good footage of those statues. You most likely won't be able to do this...

    I made a mistake and got a citation. Do you have any advice on the severity of this ticket?

    I own a home inspection company and drones are somewhat common in our industry and the question came up at our last CE class about fines. Our Instructor told us of 2 fines in North Carolina, one was for $1,000and the other was for $4,000. I am not licensed but also just bought mine for travel...

    Mavic Air in Barcelona

    I've heard that drones are not an issue there. I've been twice but never took note of any activity. A friend just got back and said they were at the La Sagralia Familia and someone was flying a drone (that's a pretty busy area) and he said the security guard did not look happy. Not really sure...

    Wet Battery

    Well I've found several topics regarding "wet battery" but none like this one. I couldn't find one of the batteries for my Mavic Air. Finally I found it (was left outside on my deck). It also rained quite a bit. When I found it, the battery was dry and all the lights lit up as if it were normal...

    Taking Mavic to Chile/Easter Island. Recent experiences?

    Wow, I just posted a very similar question and thought I researched these keywords already but I am a Newbie so maybe I did it wrong. Has anybody found any new info here as I head there in October. Thanks guys!

    Heading to Santiago and Easter Island with Mavic Pro

    I'm a Newbie so my apologies in advance if I'm not following protocol. I will be heading to Chile (Easter Island/Rapanui) in October. I have seen some discussions about flying a drone there but have yet to get any sufficient proof that drones are in fact allowed on the Island. Has anyone had a...
