    Buying a Mavic Pro with 10.5 hours of flight time on it. Should I be concerned?

    I’ve had no issues and frequently fly my MP using 3 batteries at one flight...that’s approx 60 minutes of flight time per session and although I’ve only had my MP since last July, it’s no issue and flies great. Likely I have over 100 hours thus far.

    You can fly at night in the US as a hobbyist.

    Chasing the train

    I’m working in a train video...mine will take a year or so to complete as I want the various trains through the 4 seasons. This is TOTALLY not finished. I have a bit to add and will likely have to even edit this portion to keep the video an acceptable length.

    How much life left on original Mavic pro?

    $20 for Mavic pro batteries? I checked target online, still $89.99, you must have got lucky, but if your store still has $20 batteries, I’ll gladly buy 2 for $30each from you.

    Video Editing Software

    I’m not sure about the specific issue that you may be encountering...I take the microSD and put it into an SD adapter and while the computer is already on, I plug it into the back of my Mac and it reads it as if it is another drive. I have used USB adapters in the past and I think they are a...

    Drone Insurance & Refresh?

    Having just filed a claim with DJI AND someone who is in a State Farm service area...I would suggest both. If you have a $1000 drone or more, and the likelihood is, if you begin to push the limits to get that really cool shot, at some point, you may need to replace it after a crash. DJI will...

    Should I be slightly daring and be confident in my MA ?

    Mine was insured...still $99 to insure with DJI and then $79 deductible since the accident was user error and then another $89 for a new battery as the drone is insured and not the battery...and to add insult, when I shipped the damaged unit back, I forgot to remove the SD card, so another $45...

    Should I be slightly daring and be confident in my MA ?

    I have a Mavic pro and fit 3-4 months was very careful. I had a minor crash in month 4. I got very comfortable with my pilot skills and had a fatal crash on Oct 3. Luckily I purchased the refresh from DJI, but my issue was my overconfidence. I suggest as others do, if you are flying in parts...

    Props question

    I’m thinking the only way I could ever use the other 2 props is to simply buy 4 more OEMs...and should I ever damage 1, I’ll have a spare. Otherwise, I can simply throw away the 2 I have from the originals...I just don’t like being wasteful...perhaps it would help if I could buy 2 white circles...

    Props question

    I suppose I should buy another set of OEMs so I will have the 4 + 2 as a backup. I knew they all flew at varying RPMs and thought that would be the deal breaker

    Props question

    I crashed my drone and dinged 2 props. I have since purchased 4 new low noise props. If I should ever have other issues, is it okay for me to fly 2 or 3 noise reducing props and one of the original props I still have or do you think all 4 props should be the same? I guess I’m inquiring...

    Drone VS Harley Davidson #Agios Sozomenos vilage# Cyprus

    How do you get such clarity on YouTube? I find when I shoot and edit, it’s crystal clear, but once I upload to YouTube, the clarity goes out the window. It’s great footage and location...

    My first light crash

    Trust me I do not fly reckless. If my drone is acting weird (not hovering in place or just unstable), I always bring it in and recalibrate. I don’t have so much money that I’d rush out and buy another one, but I think people buying $1,000 drones aren’t usually worried about their next meal...
