I finally had to break down and buy a new battery for my Mavic Pro. I was surprised to find that DJI no longer sells them, so I found one with good reviews on Amazon. https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B078LR2NKQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The battery seems great but after...

Is that comment really fair to us Canadian flyers? We don't make the dumb rules. Our liberal government does. Just sayin'. I haven't been allowed to fly for over a year because I haven't done the course or written the test that's required now. The True North Strong and Free...o_O

Hey...those floats look interesting. I've been using the "fishing rod" Getterback, but I'd like to see some reviews on these red floats. How they affect performance, and how they fasten to the MP.

Well, don't I feel stupid. I've had no less than 40 flights with that covered. Thanks Ping^Spike!! I still don't feel comfortable putting it on the arms because it moves around too much. Back to the drawing board.

Nope Ping^Spike. No "camera" there.

Don't like the close proximity to the blades when mounted horizontally on the arms. I mount mine as shown. No danger of it swinging around into the blades. Just make sure it's not too close to the nearest downward facing sensor.

DJI Pleased Over Canada’s Easing of Recreational Drone Use Rules https://www.tc.gc.ca/media/documents/ca-opssvs/Flying_for_fun_EN-V6.pdf Sorry...I see now that this news was also posted a couple days ago. Just so excited to see that I had to share.:D

Thanks Bunny! I did just upgrade to the latest firmware but this may be a coincidence. I didn't know that "stick full up" will now also cancel a forced landing. Thanks!!

I've probably done almost 100 flights and this new thing happened a couple days ago. Flying maybe 300meters from home and pressed "return to home". Mavic went to the usual 90m and started cruising back normally. I cancelled "return to home" just as the Mavic started descending and it stopped...

My apologies if this has been covered already but I received my GetterBack today and I'm wondering what clever ways people may have found to mount one of these. I see it simply strapped to an arm in some pictures and videos, but that puts it so close to the props. I fly in water less than 100...

I've lost track here, but didn't Taco say they were releasing polarized filters late last year? They still aren't out, are they? (ND4/PL ND8/PL ND16/PL ND32/PL)

Got my Mavic Pro yesterday. New to drones. On one of my maiden voyages, I hit the RTH button and even though the drone was within 10 feet from where I took off, it started ascending. Right at that point, the cell phone died from the cold, so I couldn't cancel the RTH. I had to keep the drone...
