    Original magic pro battery

    So.... admittedly, I bought a magic pro back in 2017, and never flew it. After a failed flight a few months after owning I packed it away and haven’t used it since. More money then brains at the time I guess. Anyway, I’ve started flying again, just basic flights since it’s barely been used...

    Video issues.

    No, not flying in sport, I know what your referring to, but this shadowing effect covered the entire video in a very uniform way. If your old enough you would remember old school t.v’s when the aerial isn’t set properly and you have a wave effect of lines over the tv. That’s what I had going on.

    Video issues.

    Flew today and had some real issues with getting my magic pro to focus. First 2 mins of video is un-usable. Despite pressing focus multiple times. Also when I viewed my footage later at home toward the end of my flight I had horizontal lines rolling over and over my video almost like a prop...

    High Pitch Whine in Sports Mode ?

    Does anyone else have a high pitch whine coming from the motors when flying their drone in sports mode? I’m nervous it’s a sign of a possible mid air disaster. My motors only have about an hour of flight time....any input should help.

    Messed up

    Haven’t taken the drone out in months, just haven’t had time. Last time I flew was near a beach,so I wanted to get her moving...weather is bad today and I always promised myself I wouldn’t fly indoors... but alas I switched her on just to let the motors spin, gave it a little too much throttle...

    Live in Australia and QLD in particular, you will have no issues if you are flying legally.

    Suggestions about my very first clip with my mavic

    Incredible for your first clip! I personally wasn’t a fan of the turning drone over the city, wasn’t terribly cinematic. Or the close out of I’m guessing family waving away the mavic......for your first clip I thought it was really remarkable. Well done to you young man.

    Learning to Fly

    What a stupid comparison. If my son was learning to drive, he isn’t getting straight into my Mercedes. Kid will learn in a Honda Civic first.

    Active track problem....

    Tried active track for the first time at different heights, just wonder if someone has had similar experience and if height was the cause of my issue: At approx 80-90m altitude with active track activated the mavic was rocking backward and forward quiet aggressively, noticing something was...

    Camera disappointment

    Ive watched plenty of YouTube videos of guys like Casey neistat and see a lot of people’s content on this forum, but I’ve found myself pretty disappointed and not able to match the same cinematic quality of picture some people churn out.I am pretty new to video editing and I’m only using...

    Australia > Thailand

    Thanks for the replies. Good points to consider. I’m not sure it’s worth the risk confiscation of a $1800 drone but we’ll see.

    Australia > Thailand

    I read all these regulations and government entities you need to register with and some even taking 3 months to hear back and proof of insurance.... has anyone actually even had any issues? I plan to fly around islands and in remote locations not within city limits, my question is, has anyone...
