Interesting comment. I just started using an iPad mini with my Mavic, mounting it with the home button to the left. I also received the same mag warning, but thankfully it went away while I was doing a pre-flight calibration. I'll mount the iPad in the opposite direction next time and see if...

For what it's worth, they actually did process my application with the FAA and I quickly received my registration # from the FAA. Also, no unusual activity on my credit card.

That's exactly my strategy, and it seems to be working well for me. No focus issues in my first three flights.

55 here, at least physically if not mentally!

To echo what Harfordhawk just mentioned, spend some time reading the manual and learning the menus and commands before you take it up. I received my Mavic 5 days ago, and spent the weekend studying the manual and powering it up and connecting the controller (no flight) in my house. I've taken...

Before anyone totally dumps on the guy, watch this one of Casey Neistat's short films:

Remember, much if not most of that money went to Casey's investors in Beam. That's how it works when you sell a structured investment partnership where the sponsor puts up very little of the equity. Casey Neistat has made a ton of great content. If you want to check anything out, search for...

I consider myself tech savvy and fell for it. That's what happens late at night, after a couple of beers..... Needless to say, I'm following my credit card closely to see if there's any unusual charges.

Just be careful you don't try to register at scam sites like: DRONE REGISTRATION These guys are NOT the FAA website.

I neglected to take any still images, but grabbed a nice screenshot from my first flight / first video. It was in the mid-20's here in Chicago, so I ran out of warmth before I ran out of batteries!

Found the videos exactly where you noted. THANK YOU!

I just took my first couple of flights with the Mavic. 28 degree cold day in Chicago so my fingers froze before my batteries were expended! One question: I'm reviewing the DJI App on my iPhone, and I see the flight logs. These give me a "google earth" style overhead replay of my flight, but...

Thanks for the suggestions! I took my first two flights today. 26 degrees outside, **** cold. First flight on Beginner mode with my iPhone 6 connected, which sucked a ton of juice from my phone. I used an iPad mini for the second flight, without beginner mode. (It used far less juice from...

I just received my Mavic, and I'm reviewing the manuals and trying to learn how to fly this pup so as not to destroy or lose it on my first flight. I'm also going to try the tutorials noted in the User Manual. I've flown an RC aircraft a bit, but have zero experience with drones. That said...

I received my Fly More kit yesterday, ordered from DJI directly on Jan. 19th and received it on the 27th.
