    My Mavic Was Shot Out of the Sky

    At this point, you've said a lot of things that could damage your case.

    Got my new MP today, and have already introduced it to the wall...

    Yeah, indoor flights do seem to work best with larger spaces. I I wish indoor flying worked better than it does.

    I don't think I have read of, much less had, a successful indoor flight. The GPS reception is too unreliable.

    Mavic Received a Death Threat

    You didn't do anything wrong. People are just very angry and look for things to ***** about. I'd just ignore her and avoid people's property.

    Flying indoors

    It's good to hear that I'm not the only Mavic pilot who has trouble flying indoors. After 3 attempts at flying indoors, I will never fly it indoors again.

    Flying over towns and cities?

    Which presents a big liability that most drone pilots aren't equipped to assume.

    Drones Threatened Nuclear Facilities

    I just meant that it takes more than having money to be able to fly a plane. One has to have extensive training and education prior to getting in the pilots seat to prove they are competent and responsible. As opposed to a drone, anyone can go to the store and put down $1200 and walk away with a...

    Drones Threatened Nuclear Facilities

    There are some serious idiots flying drones that have no business flying these things. If you can't abide by the rules, then DON'T buy a drone.

    Flying by airports, heliports ect...

    After reading these posts, I had to go and check to see if my Mavic flew as I have been flying my Mavic daily within 5 miles from an Airport without problems. But I researched it and the NFZ here is a class E which apparently is the least restrictive.

    Mavic Calibration Videos/Links

    In other words..READ THE MANUAL. There is a lot of information being tossed around on the net. Best advice is to read the manual that was written by people who built the Mavic.

    Video quality

    I replaced my micro SD card today with a class 10 card and got a much better quality video. The DJI website will tell you that other cards will work just fine in the Mavic, but I have learned that there is a big difference in quality between the class 10 cards and others used in the drone. Here...

    Video quality

    I shot some video this weekend for a retreat and when I used the GO 4 app to view the footage on the card, it was very grainy and pixely to the point that you could not make out the people. I had just bought a new SD card and the one I bought was a class 3 Sandisk MicroSDHC V30 32GB Extreme...
