Funny how I just shot the ILS down to mins at 3am this morning... I never come in here when it's daylight, so I spend my overnights around the city. Hopefully I'll get some good Mavic flying in on Tuesday when the clouds clear up

Hi Darrick. I'll be in Kowloon from 2/24-2/26 (possibly longer) and would love to meet up or pick your brain on places to go. Will you be around?

That was my second guess is that it was stitched together, but yes... Too high altitude and flying over populated areas is a no-no in HK.

Also, here's an example of what I'm trying to learn. Also, because I'll be in Hong Kong next week. Where in the heck did this person launch from? Was this just a GPS flight? The range on this video is nuts, and would definitely be too far to maintain a video feed... I guess? Maybe I don't...

Thanks for the info, all. I always double check all regs before I fly in a new place ✔️

So there's a bazillion videos out there of folks getting great shots in urban areas, but I don't quite know how (I'm a newbie). How are people maintaining line of sight for a video feed? Are they launching from rooftops? I'm headed to Europe this week and would love some tips for filming some...

Hi Garry: Very interesting story, mostly because I recently posted about the same issues. I was recently in Chile (Santiago and Vina del Mar) and I was unable to fly the entire time, both in and outside of cities. Either there is some weird bug, or there's some serious ferrous material in the...

My father told me about return.me It's a subscription based lost and found service that guarantees a reward for the finder. I'm most likely going to put this on all of my gadgets I take on the road, including my Air!

Santiago does have an elaborate underground road system. But I was definitely not within 4m of it like DJI wants. It's my last day here, and I've already given up trying to fly. Maybe next time I'll head out of the cities. It's just odd that my 20 story hotel doesn't interfere with the compass

Oh yeah. Time and Time again. If I move indoors, to my hotel room, it's ready to fly. Outdoors I cannot for the life of me get a successful calibration because of interference.

Hi all: Has anyone experienced strong interference abroad, even in open areas with no metal for miles? I've been in Chile this week for work and could not do any flying with my Air the whole time. Everywhere I went in the city, even in large open grassy quiet parks, I've had 700+ compass...

Hello everyone: So happy to be here. I'm a proud new owner of a Mavic Air, and took it out for its first flight the other day, and needless to say... I'm obsessed. Anyways, one thing I'm having a hard time with is using the app with my Pixel 3 XL, which is similar to the iPhone X/XR, and the...

Well, I didn't crash it in the Atlantic, or a tree, or a building, or a bird, or a person! Threw some quick editing on the clips and put them up on YT I'm soooo hooked now... I love the Mavic Air... no regrets at all!

Hi all: Glad to be here. I'm in Miami for the day, and am brand new to my Mavic Air. Any easy launch spots for some newbie flying around to get used to the system? I've been looking online for quiet/safe parks to go to... the other issue is being too terrified to start flying because of doing...
