Great job. Nice picture. Where did you launch from?

People can be such idiots. Including me, although I try not to be. I fly off my back deck as you can see in my picture in a neighborhood with homes pretty close to each other. Been doing that for over a year now maybe once or twice a week. At first I got lots of flack in the neighborhood watch...

Hi - I've had a Pro for a year with no crashes. My camera wobbles with sudden movement now and I tried to calibrate it but it failed at 31 % every time I tried. I re-loaded the DJI 4 app because was using the same one for a year and tried again. Same wobble and the calibrate funtion went past...

Get used to it. I went through the exact same thing when I first started flying my MP over my neighborhood. I have had it close to a year. People started posting that I was peeping in their windows. I wasn't. I did my best to explain that I wasn't interested in looking at heir fat *** anyway. At...

Hi Cometman - Simi Valley huh? I have family in Ojai and Westlake Village so I know SV some. Hope you have fun in Morro Bay. I have friends that fly out by Morro Rock which is great for pictures and video of course. We have gone flying a little north of MB in Cayucos on the beach there, nice. I...

Hi - I guess this thread is still somewhat active. I joined about a year ago and chimed in from MB but rarely check back. I see you are in slo and I have flown my Pro out near Cuesta before. Let me know where you are flying and have fun. There was a guy on here that lived near Santa Margarita...

This is funny. You can't be serious. How much time, battery life, will you save? Risk reward. Do the math. Let us know how it goes. Do you have insurance?

Hey Gang. (Are we a gang?) One Question: Those of you that fly thousands of feet, miles, away from where you sit, does controller say "weak signal" and you just keep going, or do you not get that warning because there is nothing in the way? I want to try it but a bit scared. Thanks - LK

Best of luck in finding your drone bro. I don't think it is stupid to go really high or really far but I do think you are risking doing harm to others if you do that over populated areas. That is what keeps me from going that high or far. The price of things going bad are pretty freaking high...

This should be easy for most of you. Am I correct ion assuming that if I tap TRIPOD on my phone with my drone in the air, where I want it that it will sit still like it is on a tripod. The pdf owners manual doesn't say anything about tripod but it only makes sense by the name of it that that's...

That really sucks. It's pretty clear that getting a good MP is a roll of the dice. I haven't had too many problems with mine. I have spent many hours flying and enjoying it. I pity the person you sell yours to. I think it's sad that DJI doesn't seem to stand behind their products the way other...

I get my parts from Helipal. I think I will check out Thunderdrones. Didn't know about it and that's one of the reasons I love this forum. And, BTW, I got the insurance for my mavic pro for around a hundred bucks and can get it replaced or fixed as needed. Good idea?

I use Helipal.com for my Mavic Pro parts. They have everything. The cable from RC to your phone is: DJIMV 03 - RC (STD Micro USB Cable. I keep a few of them just in case.

Well done sir. I have had similar conversations with my neighbors here on the central coast of California. People tend to over estimate our interest in peeping at them. Once most of my neighbors learn that it's my drone they are seeing they lighten up and some support me. That said my friend...

For what it's worth I have 2 batteries. I guess would like a 3rd. I do a lot of flying right off my back deck. I'm about 2500 feet from the ocean so that's usually the direction I head. Also because my neighbors complain a lot about a drone in the sky above our neighborhood even though I am...
