    Frustratingly low distance obtainable with Mavic Air

    I have a Pro and an Air and a Spark. I love all of them but use them for different purposes. On the subject of distance performance with the Air I have had the following experience: On my recent trip to the ocean in an area with lots of beach houses with WiFi I had no trouble flying the Air...

    Learning to Fly

    I very deliberately started with an $80 toy and learned stick movements and other basics before I got the MP. I think it helped. One time flying in a tight spot on a windy day I had to maneuver with no GPS suddenly and without warning. I didn’t panic precisely because I know how to fly a dumb...

    Mavic Pro flight at the famous Tulip Trestle near Solsberry, Indiana on February 7, 2018

    The Tulip Trestle, also called the Tulip Viaduct, was built from 1905-1906. Perfect area for flying a drone LOS because there is a nice observation area with parking and even portable restrooms. Far from civilization but definitely worth the trip!

    I'm Pissed off, but do I have a right to be?

    Totally agree. My own WiFi network kills my Spark signal every time. Spark is for the park.

    POLL: Buying the Air - Please, only current Pro Owner's

    Precisely my feelings. Couldn’t have said it better.

    Will 2018 see the DJI MAVIC PRO II?

    GoPro has quietly announced it is getting out of the drone business. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.theverge.com/platform/amp/2018/1/8/16862680/gopro-drones-business-stopped-layoffs-exit

    Multiple app crashes using dji go 4 yesterday

    I have had the exact same problem. I’m running all of the latest firmware and using iPhone X and I have already deleted and reinstalled the app which seemed to work for a while but now the app crashes are happening again. The strange thing is it will fly the drone just fine but when I try to...

    Windy day over Indiana - but stable Mavic!

    I was asked to get some aerial shots of my firm's golf outing. Quite a bit of cloud cover and lots of wind, but the Mavic did wonderfully. No filters used. Regular flight mode. Stayed under 120m.
