I use it most of the time. It amazes me that with a button press the drone can return home and land within a few inches of where it took off.

North of Warren, work in Kent.

They are FliteTest. From their videos I can see they have a building right by (just East of) the Hall of Fame bridge. They do some of their flying there.

In regards to CVNP - CVNP is relatively narrow and some portions could be filmed while launching, operating, and landing from outside the park. Flying over a National Park is not prohibited. "The closures do not apply to the flight of unmanned aircraft in the airspace above a park if the device...

After receiving my Mavic on Friday and charging and updating yesterday while it rained, I was able to get in my first flights today. In a word - phenomenal - although also a bit overwhelming. As expected the Mavic is rock solid in the air. Return to home put it back on the landing pad in...

Thank you all for the very warm welcome. I've been reading the forums here for a number of months now and am amazed at the breadth and depth of knowledge displayed. I hope that as I learn and progress I will get to a point where I too can make a positive contribution.

Just received the Mavic Pro today. I had a Phantom Vision 2 but have not flown for over two years now. Hopefully the weather will clear and I can get the Mavic up this weekend.

Expecting my Mavic on Friday. I'd like to run through an initial check for manufacturing defects. As an example the Cracked Gimbal problems discussed here and here, and the Corner Focus problems here. I'd appreciate any suggestions for additions to my list from members who have experienced...

I drew blood the other day when I ran a tiny Estes drone into my nose. I'm pretty sure the Mavic could do significantly more damage. Does anyone use a glove to catch the Mavic? It seems that a light mechanic's type glove would provide significant protection when you need to do a hand launch...

Congratulations. Sounds like a great opportunity. I would suggest Lots of insurance Do a dry run Use extreme caution - both to avoid and accident and to demonstrate to the public how careful a professional drone operator can be You might consider having a third person ride in the back of the...

I'm soon to be 57. I don't have a Mavic yet, I hope to get one next spring when the weather warms. Bought a Phantom Vision 2 almost 3 years ago. I was amazed at how easy it was to fly - I was somewhat cautious and conservative but I don't think I ever crashed it. Just let go of the sticks...

That's some of the best Mavic footage I've seen - absolutely beautiful!
