Whoa. That looks like a beautiful place to fly though.

Wait, so you say the Apple/DJI partnership was just to sell iPhones? Seriously? The partnership was an attempt t get DJI products into Apple Stores. That's pretty much it.

NICE! I have a 67 wagon in the garage gathering dust and taking up space. I need to do something with it ASAP.

Haven't gone through the entire thread, but how much battery would you expect to save? Makes no sense in reality.

52 here, but 50 is the new 30, right? I'm still doing the stuff I love...just slower. :)

Those are pretty nice! Great idea.

Overexposed. Subject matter is meh. I'd never fly over a highway, but that's me.

I'm calling fake on the boxed set as well. They spelled "Propeller" wrong. DJI is so image conscious in terms of their design I can't see them making this mistake.

Great photo. Looks like it was a beautiful day to fly.

You meant Galaxy 4S, right? That is a pretty old phone, and eventually software updates push the phone past limits the can't achieve. Time to upgrade.

Amazing story! Glad it got home.

Some people always have to be negative. I agree the Mavic is a great bit of engineering. And brick wall? How about a concrete and stone fence? That was my first crash, and it was hard, and the only damage was a couple scratches on 2 props. After I popped the gimbal in place it was perfect.

A lot of people? Most people buy, as you say, butchered Android devices. In fact, here in the US Samsung rules. The Google devices are a small minority. I do get your point though.

The restrictions are baked into the Mavic. It knows where the restrictions are by GPS and software. How would you figure the Tower would let it fly? What could they do to unlock your flight? Nothing.

I have a huge backyard (by SoCal standards) and can't fly my MP because I am in Disneyland's restricted airspace. I was pissed. But seriously, can't you see some dumbass flying into the elfin' Log Ride or Matterhorn and crashing their drone? Sure, it still pisses me off I can't fly in my own...
