    Mavic Pro Submerged

    Glad I am not out a device - and a have a fairly strong electronics background. The praying didn't hurt. You would be surprised though - after 15 seconds under water - the inside of the Mavic was still dry.

    Mavic Pro Submerged

    My Mavic took a dip in a Wakeboard park (accident was my fault) - too low and the top cable came up and clipped me - fully submerged in muddy water for about 10-15 sec. Buddy I was filming recovered it quick. I'm flying it today with no damage AFAIK. 1) Removed and tossed battery 2) Shook...

    It's true, it WILL happen

    I haven't had any of these encounters yet. I constantly get people who want to watch me fly and think it is super cool. I also try to fly in a manner where I don't intrude on people's privacy (and it sounds like you weren't either). There's a lot of miserable folks out there who want nothing...

    Some fun flying from the boat

    Hahaha - it's just me and the family (some of the four brothers on the boat). But agreed - EVERY boat needs more girls!

    Some fun flying from the boat

    Youtube just pays them a portion when it flags that copyrighted music. Looks like this below

    Some fun flying from the boat

    We were really cooking in sport mode on this windy day. Took off and landed from the boat (getting pretty good at this)

    Water Tower Vultures

    YouTube Freeport, IL. Mavic with ND8 filter. I've always heard these birds called turkey vultures - they are quite big.

    Flying with Australian water birds in outback

    Wow. Great video, great editing. Love the shots in the plains and desert on the road.

    Activation screen comes up during flight

    I have been having this happen to me as well. Using a Moto Z Force. Really annoying, can happen multiple times in flight. Latest app/firmware. Along with App crashes, i need a iDevice :( Hope someone knows something!

    Anyone using DSLR case for the mavic?

    Using mine that came with my D3300. Works great. Room for everything

    Mavic gimbal issue; you all need to read!

    Really? Professional cameras shouldn't have autofocus? Autofocus is absolutely essential in pro photography, and is far more accurate than manual focus. I don't see anything wrong with Auto takeoff and land, it has worked well for me.
