    Just how dangerous is a Drone

    You are forgetting a major point in your comparison of a drone to a .357 bullet.... and that is the amount of surface area that the force will be spread upon. I'm not arguing that a free falling drone wouldn't cause energy, but your comparison is misleading.

    How many extension and folding cycles do we get before failure.

    Nice case... but one of the main reasons I bought an Air is because if how small it folds up. That case would defeat the purpose.

    Skins Review

    Just installed a skin for my Mavic Air from decalgirl.com. The design is really nice, material feels like good quality, and instal was fairly easy with patience. I did run I to 1 issue however... when folding and rotating the right rear arm in for storage it makes contact with the skin. I...

    Newbie Question - weird issue with stability

    Good advice here... I'm a pretty new pilot, but have noticed that when flying indoors I have to deactivate all obstacle avoidance, good lighting, and rely on OPTI for position holding... or turn it all off and go manual.

    Thanks for the suggestion... those look like they could be useful for operating in short to medium height grass too

    Well I wasn't planning to crash land lol... good to know..... also good to know I have someone local that can repair these things if that is ever needed.

    @Thunderdrones I'm sure the Mavic Air is of similar construction to what you have described on the Mavic Pro and 2... is that a safe assumption to make?

    How many extension and folding cycles do we get before failure.

    That was going to be my next question... figured in the scheme of things it wouldn't be an expensive repair.

    Part 107 registrations.. ugh.

    I can't speak directly to part 107 but when I got my part 61 Aircraft Dispatcher Certificate, I was able to dispatch planes with my temporary certificate until my actual license came in the mail. I would expect that if you can print your temporary certificate from Iacra that would be sufficient.

    Looking To Add Audio To My Mavic Zoom Video

    YouTube is your friend... did a quick search for "recording audio for drone footage" and there were some informative videos that you might find useful.

    Looking To Add Audio To My Mavic Zoom Video

    I got the impression that the OP is talking about a system that would let him capture speech not just added music.... either way it might easier to record the audio and then sync it up to the video later on a PC while editing.

    Mavic Pro and Mavic Air

    I recently (3 weeks ago) got the Mavic Air Fly More bundle for $850 from Best Buy... price match from Amazon. Felt like that was a decent deal. In hindsight, if size isn't an issue, i would hav me gone with the Mavic Pro, Platinum, or Mavic 2... top of my list was portability on my motorcycle...
