Cool! I was trying to calculate/guess the height of a drone based off of an image taken with the drone looking straight down. There were parking spaces and stuff for reference, I just didn't know what math equation could be used for that. Any idea?

If this is true... this is impressive. lol.. And I agree, it looks AT LEAST 550ft AGL... 250 seems way too low for the size of the heli in the pic. But i'm just using the "guess and check" method... except without the "check" part. ;)

I'm holding out for a Mavic Pro 2. If they can squeeze Phantom 4 Pro specs into a Mavic Pro form factor... that would be perfection. I'd love to get a Phantom 4 pro, but I LOVE the smaller foldable design that fits in my gear bag when I go out and do shoots (pic similar to my setup). Otherwise...

Hey everyone, I'm from Cary, IL in the Northwest Suburbs. Been flying my MP for about a year now and am working on earning my Part 107 Remote Pilot Certification so I can use the MP at work and maybe do some real estate videos on the side. Hope to maybe meet up with other pilots around here one...

Mavic Pro 2 needs more object avoidance sensors on the sides and behind it like the phantom 4 pro. Also, they need to fix the crooked horizon issue. Other than that, everything else could stay the same IMO and I wouldn't care. But I would guess they'll add a better camera.

Genius!!! This was it, thank goodness - easy fix! Great eye @cheekymonkeyman! Thanks all who offered your help. This is a great forum. I'm new here and am excited to be a part of such a helpful group here. Thanks again.

Yesterday I was out flying and I had my first real crash into a tree. While filming and circling around my subject manually, I flew sideways into a tree and the Mavic had no chance... Fell all the way down and hit the ground popping out the battery and destroying two propellers. I realize I...

This is very annoying. I dont know why my brain thinks in this inverted way as well - but I constantly mess it up the first movement in-flight. Should be easy to add this option with a firmware update... wish we had more control over this!
