    Your favorite toy drone?

    Just got one of these. Definitely a toy, though it does have a 720p camera. Haven't even fired it up yet but it was like $35 so I don't expect a lot. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N1V6PKB/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    i found a mavic on a hike in los angeles

    Interesting how both the OP and person offering to buy it have gone quiet. Karma’s a b***h, guys.

    i found a mavic on a hike in los angeles

    You also stated it's "in fine condition" which would indicate it probably hasn't been sitting there too long. Someone spent a grand on that drone, and I'd imagine that person is pretty bummed right now. I applaud your efforts to find the owner, but it's tempered by your immediate offer to sell...

    i found a mavic on a hike in los angeles

    As others have stated, the serial number is enough for DJI to help locate the owner. If there’s anything on the SD card, it’s even easier. Selling it when you have the ability to, and have not attempted to locate the rightful owner, is essentially selling stolen goods. (Personally I’d question...

    iPad mini 4 performance with latest DJI Go4

    Bought my mini4 just to use with the MP. Excellent choice. The cellular equipped version is needed if you don’t want to rely on cached maps.

    The. Big. Error.

    That's too bad. I'd wager almost all of us have missed out on some amazing footage by forgetting to be in Record. I hope to never do it a second time, but it'd be great to have an auto-record option. After many years of working in recording studios, I live by the premise that it's better to...

    Do all dji drones suck ?

    Hate to pile on with everyone else, but truth is you don’t really seem to want an answer as much as just to rant. If you’re really asking for help, post specifics about your problem. Saying it constantly needs an update is not a problem others can help you with (other than pointing out, as...

    Southern California - L.A. area 323/213/818

    I’m in south Ventura County (Thousand Oaks). Have had my MP since October and never had a problem. Lots of canyons and unincorporated areas to fly over without bothering people. I’ve flown over beaches in Malibu, OC, and SD. I check AirMap and generally try not to be an a-hole about it.

    Taking my Mav Pro carry on? Flying American Airlines.

    Are you saying that a battery cover (that just covers the terminals) is an acceptable alternative to a LiPo bag? (And by that I mean acceptable to TSA.) If so, that's great news...it's a whole lot less bulky.

    Taking my Mav Pro carry on? Flying American Airlines.

    I just took mine on a plane this week. Took it in my carry-on (as if I'd trust it to a baggage handler...right), put the batteries in Li-Po (fireproof) bags (you can find them on Amazon here) - no problems, no TSA hassle. Easy.
