    Flying around Acadia National Park

    Has anyone found a location around Acadia that's safe to take off/land at? I have had some luck with asking around for other locations so I figured I would ask here. I'm going on Fri and Sat this week so any suggestions are appreciated. And yes - I know I can use map tools, but sometimes it's...

    Bringing the Mavic to Peru

    @Okie Cowboy - check with your tour guides about the Inca Trail. My tour operator said that since the entire trail is a historic site, they didn't want me bringing mine. I was disappointed at first, but after packing my bags and having my other cameras along with extra clothes, etc, I'm glad I...

    Bringing the Mavic to Peru

    I actually just got back. I flew in Cusco (it's on my youtube channel Gary Vaughan). I brought my spark - not mavic. The guy at customs at the airport looked at it and said "toy". They didn't charge me the import tax. So I was fine with it. Now I couldn't take it with me on the Inca trail. The...

    "Ultrasonic Module Error" since updating to 01.03.0400

    That's my EXACT experience. I thought it was me taking off from sand and dirt, but this weekend in Colorado on hikes and while 4 wheeling, I was able to fly perfectly fine.

    Bringing the Mavic to Peru

    I'm going on the classic inca trail 4 day hike in July and while I was told NOT to bring my Phantom because it's too much of a hassle, the Mavic is probably perfect. The problem is trying to find people who have brought the Mavic into Peru via Lima. I've read different accounts that were all...

    Pikes Peak tomorrow

    I just found this. I'm going to Pikes Peak and Mt. Evans on June 9-10. Did you get hassled about flying at Pikes? I checked on B4UFLY and it looks like it's legal, but I just wanted to make sure. So if anyone on this thread has an update on the legalities of flying, let me know. Thanks, Gary

    "Ultrasonic Module Error" since updating to 01.03.0400

    I hadn't seen this issue again until this past weekend when I was taking off from a grassy area and it showed up again. Tried 3 batteries, restarting app, phone and drone multiple times and it still showed up. Took the drone back to the condo at the beach and took off from some shuffle board...

    "Ultrasonic Module Error" since updating to 01.03.0400

    Let us know the results. If it's under warranty, I'll send mine back too since it does seem like it may be hardware.

    "Ultrasonic Module Error" since updating to 01.03.0400

    I just used my 3rd and final battery and was going to record the error - but NOTHING. No error when it started up. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with where you take off from.

    "Ultrasonic Module Error" since updating to 01.03.0400

    I upgraded to the latest firmware yesterday - got the error immediately. The drone flew fine with the error so I turned the drone and the controller off - then turned it back on - the error was gone. Today I was flying at a lake and the first time I powered up the bird, I got the error. Again -...

    Atlanta checking in...

    I was out yesterday flying and tested the live youtube broadcast from my backyard. The weather is not helping me learn how to handle this better. It's much different than flying my Phantom 4. I just want some experience before I bring this on one of my adventure trips.

    SanDisk 64 gb card sale

    I bought it - for $25 you can't beat it. I have 2 of these (U1) - one in my phantom and one in my mavic - and both work fine. I figure for $25, I might as well have a backup as well.

    Atlanta checking in...

    I'm in Smyrna. Got my Mavic Fly More Bundle last week (I ordered on 10/31 from DJI on Amazon believe it or not). I also have a P4. We should all descend on SunTrust Park and fly around it one Sunday! :) But I would love to find more places to fly around Atlanta. I see on Youtube people flying in...
