    Mavic Pro took-off without given command and crashed :(

    Unfortunate thing to happen, but good to know that it's possible. I've run indoors for testing (P3P, MP, P4A+) and never had this issue. Wouldn't have thought it would/could happen, though, either.

    Other People's Etiquette Around Drones

    "Sorry, but I'm busy at the moment." Simple way to deal with people. People are curious! If I wasn't flying drones, I would be curious, too! As others before have said, we are ambassadors - no need to be rude, no need to spoil one's shot due to answering questions, either. Given the back and...

    BANG!!! Guess what it is?

    Like Fiberdude said, it's just a Mavic Pro. A clear picture of it was posted in OsitaLV's Twitter feed by someone who knew the owner of the Mavic. Bang! Guess what it is... It's a blurry Mavic Pro pic. I wanted to believe, too - especially since I got an email from DJI yesterday w/ an...

    Lifejacket for Mavic Finished

    From a post on the Mavic FB group: "I did that with my first P1, it flipper over at take off because the front caught the water. Round off the ends of the foam" Not my quote, but thought it might give background as to why the OP went through the trouble of doing that in the first place.

    first impressions of the Air vs the Mavic....

    >"Folding on the Air is a task at best. " Agree. It's a pain in the butt. My second go-around at folding it up, I got the feeling that things could get broken if one was in a hurry and didn't have the legs and props in the perfect position when sliding it all together. I think we're going to...

    Birds: dangerous?

    A couple weekends ago, I roused up a bunch of seagulls unintentionally. Until now, I've never had an issue with them, but I must've been near a nesting area. It was like Battlestar Galactica and Cylons swarming out of a Basestar to protect against Vipers. My first instinct was, like above, to go...

    Can't sync flight records...

    Trying to sync mine (Galaxy S7 Edge) and it's stuck at 30%. I've cancelled and restarted once, but it just came back to 30% and continues to sit there. Is this a general DJI Go 4 app issue? And Android/Apple issue?

    Flying Over Water - Some Results and Tips

    I can confirm what you said about the drone going down into the water. I've had to fight my Mavic with that as well. However, like other posters, I've also had mine go upward as well. I was flying over a lake (very low) yesterday and I think it did both at different times. I completely forgot to...

    Birds: dangerous?

    I flew through a wetlands area with hundreds if not thousands of birds. I think it's like driving in Thailand. If you haven't driven in Thailand (or similar crazy place), think of it like crossing a busy intersection (maybe anywhere besides the US?). Be purposeful and measured. In other words...

    Battery error - unable to land - NO RTH - hovering with yellow blinking

    I took out the Mavic yesterday and got disconnected as well. Of the two times that I've taken it out since it arrived last week, it's done this both times. Last week, I was hovering nearby (first flight) and it was giving me radio interference and battery error warnings. There were 2 buildings...

    Greetings from Sendai, Japan.

    Hmm... I had them parallel and pointed slightly out as I always have with the P3P. Battery error (2 different fully-charged batteries - same error w/ the battery and interference) worries me. Had complete disconnection w/ the Mavic. Screen on my Galaxy S7 Edge went dark and the Mavic landed on...
