    DJI Support response and a warning to anyone who wants a DJI product.

    This is the most reasonable comment I've seen. This goes for flying your Mavic several miles from the controller to riding your sportbike motorcycle at 175mph to driving your Nissan Skyline GTR at 150mph.

    samsung galaxy s7 and mavic pro

    I have an S7 Edge and like others report.... the DJI GO 4 APP (always latest version, same with phone and Samsung touchwiz launcher) will run fine then suddenly go black and quit to phone's home screen until re-launched. This behavior happens 1 to 3 times per outing and is only an annoyance now...

    Photos (for a change)

    These were 4:3, 12 MP, No Filters, WB was Auto or Cloudy, I used the right wheel to adjust iso or aperture speed or whatever its default is onscreen to get the onscreen brightness to look right and snapped the photos to RAW/DNG then slid them into Lightroom to develop them into these. Exported...

    Photos (for a change)

    Seems like everyone posts videos here, which is awesome. But I've been taking a lot of stills lately and editing some to make artsy cityscape pictures here in Boston so I figured I'd post a couple for variety.

    My first paid job!

    SUPER helpful advice and link. Thank you so much for the constructive criticism and advice! I didn't even KNOW it was possible to add gimbal buffer to soften the hard stops at the end of my movements! (Furiously Googling where these settings are because I've wanted to do this since day 2 with...

    My first paid job!

    I got hired by a real estate broker who was listing a $2M New England Estate to shoot some aerial video and stills to post on the property listing. Watchoo folks think? My first paid job video on Vimeo! -Jonathan

    NFZ help please..

    He asked what it means. I think he doesn't know what NFZ means. The answer, my friend is No Fly Zone. Meaning the airspace close by an airport or air traffic route where it is illegal to fly hobby air craft.

    Mavic pro drifting and loss of control

    Mine did this too. I had a warning onscreen that said "Heavy interference, fly with caution!" But unfortunately the drone was 95 feet up in between two tall buildings downtown. It drifted into the side of one and broke apart then fell to the street and smashed to bits. I'm currently a day away...

    Good here too. It's not the Mavic, it's operator error. Sorry bro.

    New Mavic Pilot - Boston Massachusetts!

    I just signed up for a flightaware.com free account to see live flight information and know if there are aircraft in the area or coming into the area where I plan to fly my drone. It's a great service and I recommend any other UAV pilots here check it out. The site has a live map with flight...

    New Mavic Pilot - Boston Massachusetts!

    Hello everyone! I'm just posting a check-in thread to introduce myself. I've been saving my pennies for a year for a Phantom 4, then saw the Mavic Pro and changed my goal... so when I was able to buy it (around Christmas time) I went to order the drone and everyone was backordered! I figured...
