    Anyone in Dallas / Fort Worth?

    In case anyone in the frisco/Plano/mckinney area was curious. Hope Park in frisco has a lot of open space and only has one helipad within 5 miles owned by a company that no longer exists. Flew there last weekend and got some nice footage of the Veterans Memorial. Early enough in the morning...

    My new Mavic Pro is useless! Disappointed!

    That's what I did before my first flight, drove out away from everything, left all jewelry at home, calibrated the compass. I've had none of the issues I've seen others have. As I've seen in this post too I also fly with my iPhone 5s in airplane mode and have had no issues with loss of gps...

    I Never Press RTH

    I've used it on nearly all my flights, usually it's because I've gotten a curious individual come up and start talking to me. I'll hit rth, and answer their questions while making sure my landing site is clear. Every time it's landed within inches of where I took off. If I'm just buzzing...

    "Ultrasonic Module Error" since updating to 01.03.0400

    That sucks. I flew yesterday and after I swapped to my second battery I got the same fault. I cycled the power and changed my takeoff point and didn't see the error come back since. I even recharged my batteries and went out for more flights that afternoon and it never came back. If I were a...

    Beginner or Tripod mode.

    I took my first flight yesterday. I too have flown smaller "toy" quads, and after a few minutes in beginner mode I felt comfortable enough to turn it off. There were 10 mph winds and it was incredibly stable. Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots

    AUSSIE IN CANADADADA & USofA

    Don't have answers to your questions sadly, but having lived in both countries I hope it's painless and you have a great time! Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots

    First Flight Impressions

    Wow! This is a fun freaking drone! Didn't capture any video, just got used to the controls and took the training wheels off and let her go. Took her up 100 meters and was shocked at how comfortable I felt. The three times I used RTH and precision landing it landed within inches of where I took...

    Got this email this afternoon from DJI

    Got mine in seven business days. This month too. Very erratic delivery system it seems. Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots

    Anyone in Dallas / Fort Worth?

    Can they really ship it that fast

    It's true, mine even arrived a day early. DJI ships fast. Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots

    From Texas

    The small airport near me has a form on its website that you fill out and submit to them. Guess they got tired of phone calls. Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots
