Will your mounts allow the Mavic to fold? I just assumed it would not be able to. I love the lights by the way, they work great!

Do you have GPS lock when you take off. If you have to thread your way down through the trees that sounds like a good way to loose satellite connection. I know, been there and done that.

The short answer for this is yes. You have asked many questions on this thread. First off I want to mention that my first good drone was a Yuneec Q500 4K. I chose this AC as it looked nice and noticeably different than a DJI Phantom. That was a mistake on my part. The tech advantages of the...

You did not mention anything about the camera. If noise is issue go for the MPP. I own a MP and a P3P, I use the P3P for photo purposes and MP for fun. Wait for the MPII so you can get quality video and pics. I don’t think you will regret the wait.

I would get the Mavic Pro and buy a pontoon kit which have been discussed on this forum. This will allow to take off and land on the water close to your kayak. Ultimately you should wait for the Mavic Pro 2 which will have more favorable photography options. I would not recommend a Spark, MA or...

I hear more people loose props with Phantoms than with the Mavic. Basically because most people leave the props in tact with the Mavic. I own a Mavic and a P3P in which the case I bought for the P3P is big enough to leave them attached for the very purpose you speak of. I guess the order of...

I would go with your 2nd or 3rd choice. I would definitely do this first to give you some experience. Do not fly when there is wind. I would advise you to download the UAV Forecast app. At times it might seem apparent to you that there is no wind but if you go up 100 feet the wind could very...

Your quote: We weren't suppose to get winds over 12mph the other day but I guess the weatherman was wrong. I could tell the drone was fighting the wind due to the motors constantly changing pitch and speed. Greetings from West Michigan. Do not believe the local weather report regarding...

The standard DJI Goggles should do you just fine EXCEPT if you want to use them for other RC aircraft. I intend to use them also to fly fixed wing RC aircraft. The Ocusync system will be great for other than DJI aircraft. I ordered a set on January 1st at 12:02 because some retailers were...

Thank you! That’s pretty straight forward.

Mad_Angler1 thank you fo all the information. I just ordered the RE edition goggles. I have a Mavic and intend on using them with it but also would like to use them with my P3P. You did not mention the P3P above and just wondering what it would take to make it work. I also intend to use them...

I have to ask, did you give it throttle after it started? I have started my Mavic quite a few times in my house and never had any problems, but I don’t give it any throttle and do not let it run very long. I just like to hear the whirlwind sound. I hope your wounds heal soon.

Thank you! Jim from West Michigan

I wear a 7 3/4 hat and frames of my glasses are 5 3/4 wide. I am interested in the RE edition.

I live in Michigan and have a co-worker visiting China in January. He is more than willing to pick one up for me f the price is right. This actually Xtreme Drone Pilots fault based on one of his recent posts regarding a deal on the Spark at Target. The only difference is I want a RC...
