Actually, I did use it as a last resort with I was unable to do a regular update. Gotta admit I was a bit bumfuzzled as to how to do it, then I went to the MAVIC Support Website and looked at their video explanations. When I replicated what they showed, it worked like a charm. You can find it here:

Unless it is in uncontrolled airspace, I wouldn't bet my Mavic on that.

The problem is that many car accidents are required to equal the fatalities that could happen in one Drone / Commercial Aircraft accident. How would you feel if your cavalier attitude resulted in 200-300 people losing their lives? This isn't a game it's real, act accordingly.

You mean under 107 as a Commercial Operator or as a Hobbyist.

Depends on the Class of the Airport. Class B, not so much. Could be 5 miles Zero ceiling stepping up to 100, 200, 300 as you move further away like an inverted wedding cake. I'm in Class B airspace 25 miles from DFW and 8 miles from Dallas Love and my ceiling is 200 FT (two blocks West and it is...

Maybe this is because my Samsung Tab A doesn't render 4K pictures as well as it renders 4K video? I am not a professional photographer but have...

I've only used RTH once because I usually fly low and am surrounded by tall trees. I am afraid of having my Platinum go up into a tree on RTH so I just have it HOVER. The one time I did use it it was with one of those orange landing mats with the black "X" marked on it and it only missed dead...

Happened to me briefly a couple of times, but so far I only fly in my neighborhood which is stacked high with Wi-Fi, a known issue going in.

I am an android user and have been flying my Platinum without issue (other than newbie flying mistakes...I strongly recommend prop guards to newbies... they have saved my bacon several times) since I received it in early December. My only issue was one day when DJI Go 4 incorrectly told me I was...

Bear in mind this aircraft wasn't at pressurized altitude (for those trying for stupid altitude limit tests) or flying at 200+ mph, NOR does it account for the pilots reaction close to the ground when landing. This is serious stuff. Fellow drone pilots need to really understand this and stop...
