Wile the 7.85 Crystal Sky work with the original Mavic Pro? DJI's site is somewhat contradictory, saying only the smaller Crystal Sky will work with the Mavic

Exactly. He was flying legally, on law enforcement duty, and accomplished what needed to. Police Officers, State Troopers, and Mounted Units, all were shoved, pushed to the ground, had various articles thrown at them. The dusting they received was minimal, compared to what they could have...

I've had mine for 16 months. Last 8 months, everything is ok, flown dozens of flights. BUT, I did have to return my Mavic to DJI FOUR times, before I had no problems with it. It is a extremely pleasant aircraft to operate, I love the design, the folding arms are great. But it seems maybe DJI...

Several states specifically disallow the use of drones for spotting wildlife. I'm guessing the rest will follow suit shortly.
