    fears of flying over water

    My biggest advice.. Turn off the terrain avoidance. If you're not absolutely in GPS your ground sensor is how you hold altitude. Over water that can be a big issue and it's how most drones are given to Davey Jones. Turn that off and you should be just fine but pay attention to the drone, don't...

    First flight out with a new gimbal and cable after more than 2 years. Took her out to 1800 feet down range and 100 foot AGL. Just like the day it was new. Didn't record just snapped a pic over a construction site.

    Mavic Pro 1: Updating firmware for first time ?‍♂️

    I think I'm on .0400, getting prompted for .0500 update. Aside from a compass calibration I think I'm good to go. I'm going to verify my firmware after work. Let us know if the SD card method worked.

    Mavic Pro 1: Updating firmware for first time ?‍♂️

    I have seen were guys have pulled the case of the drone off and removed the internal SD card wiped it and re installed a firmware. Not the SD card on the side for storing videos but there is one inside the airframe.

    Mavic Pro 1: Updating firmware for first time ?‍♂️

    Did you get anywhere with the update? I'm about to fire mine up for the first time in almost 2 years. I'm sure I've got hours of updates ahead of me. Hopefully trouble free.

    YES!! New arm assembly doesn't flop all over the place. Man I've got alot to catch up on. This thing was put on a shelf and forgotten for almost 2 years.

    Been grounded for way too long with a bad gimbal. Just replaced the arm assembly, charging batteries, fingers crossed.

    Mavic Pro Flyaway

    Yes the drone has exceptional range but to say why buy it if you don't intend to use that range is a rookie statement. You have to understand why that range exists to begin with. It is there more as a way to get a signal through interference. By using h high powered, directed signal, you stand...

    How stupid is it to fly with out app?

    Your RTH settings are stored on board the drone in a second SD card located on the controller board. Those settings are set via the app interface but resident to the drone. You have full control of the drone (except for the video functions) with just the remote. Including the RTH function.

    Thanks! Fstop was the one I was looking for but could not find anything. I have not had her in the air in 5 months!

    Gimbal cable recommendations.

    Alright I've run search after search and I can't find any solid recommendations so apparently we have a guy on the Forum who builds these ribbon cables? Correct me if I'm wrong. The only indication of somebody here that builds them I have tried to contact to no avail. Where are you guys sourcing...
