    DJI will add private flight mode so it can’t see where you’re going

    Yep and they say it is aimed at sensitive lol flights does that mean That wider customer base they talk about is not really a consideration and in a few weeks they will restrict its use. Also what part of changing the flight parameters for elevation has anything to do with data protection? I do...

    Can Anyone Relate?

    me neither as no point in wasting a good night just sort her out and film it with the Mavic. Actually it makes a great movie and you get to play with both fiddles at the same time

    So, who gets the support on this one? Opinions please.

    i wonder how many people actually stick to that rule oh let me get my tape measure out and make sure i am 50m from any person. no one has ever ever complained about me launching or landing within ten feet of them as long as i am shielding the drone, and on landing if someone is coming i do not...

    So, who gets the support on this one? Opinions please.

Now personally i would be polite at first and respond politely. next time i will tell him in stronger words that you have explained your position. third time i...

    Almost Lost My Mavic:

    Ladies and gents why are we so worked up about the title. He missed a word maybe not his first language maybe. Is that a need to turn this into an English lesson. We are on page 5 and i am sure by now the Op has his answer and we all know what happened and why. The title was missing a small...

    Opinion: Does Mavic Pro Malfunction or Can people just not accept they Messed up?

    That is a fair point to be honest, and also i have had minor atti experience and the Mavic when it does drop into atti often seems to react differently to the cheap atti mode drones around. Maybe that is just my perception as i am not that experienced (maybe 350 flights total with drones from...

    Opinion: Does Mavic Pro Malfunction or Can people just not accept they Messed up?

    yes mavics do go wrong so do humans Mavics can know they have gone wrong and still crash, humans know they have gone wrong and either blame the crash on something else or someone else. Mavics and humans are alike in many ways They can act up, fail. and make stupid decisions when the neurons do...

    Runaway Mavic with various errors

    you took off in atti mode as no home point was recorded until after you took off (your words home point recorded after takeoff) 9 sats locked is a minimum. i wait till i am above 13 and hover till i hit 15 or above. never take off before the home point is recorded as you are not in gps mode also...

Now if you head into or near and...
