That was awesome! Landing on, and then taking off from, that skyscraper was crazy good. Then, making it back down to the ground with just 2% battery left, what a nail biter.

Yes, definitely go and get it. And buy the person who found it and contacted you a pint. If it wasn't physically damaged (broken) in the incident then it may well be usable again, after drying it out. They are surprisingly tolerant of getting wet. I recently watched a video where a guy in...

I got mine on ebay. From a woman who raises money for a charity. I don't know how she got it, but it was brand new in the box and I paid US $94 for it. Just checking online, I see it advertised at Banggood.com for $140. As I said, I've only used it for a few weeks but, so far, it's really good...

I flew for a couple of months using a spare Samsung Note 4. It worked pretty good, but was very hard to see outside in bright light. After looking at other phones with brighter displays, I bought a Doogee BL5000. 5 1/2 inch, bright 1080p display, octa-core processor @ 2mz, 4gb ram, 64 gb rom...

Thanks for the reply, ChipDjipro. I wasn't sure about that, now I know.

Thank you, Plawa. I've only had my Mavic for a couple of months and I'm still learning about it. So, if I understand correctly, that 100 feet I've set to rise up to is 100 feet above the home point and if it's already 100+ feet above the home point it doesn't go up first but just heads back to home?

I have my Mavic Pro set up so that if it loses contact with the RC, it will rise up 100 feet and come back home and land. I assume that it will go up, point to home and then fly a straight line back. I do a lot of flying in the rugged desert mountains in Arizona, up canyons and around mountains...

Ahh.. FinalCut. Thanks. Right now, I'm using a version of Sony Movie Studio and it does what I need. But, it's nice to know what others are using to produce good videos.

Very nice video. What do you use for editing your video?

I just turned 70. I've got a Spark and a Mavic Pro. I seldom fly the Spark, since getting the MP. Maybe I'll sell the Spark.

I changed carriers a couple of months ago and got a new phone. After that, I had a note 4 that was no longer being used. I uninstalled all of the apps I could. I've been using this note 4 to fly both my Spark and my Mavic Pro. It sometimes shows a little bit of lag when flying the Spark and...
