    Mavic 2 Pro, saying compass error every single flight

    State Farm Drone Insurance

So if you have insurance with "x" company and insurance with "y" company and have 2 claims in less than 3 years you...

    Help! What is the best WATER rescue device?

    Incorrect time on the SD card mp4 videos

    Check your phone or tablet that is running the flight app. If your phone time or date is incorrect as well as your "phone's" compass calibration is incorrect it will cause issues.

    Registration number stickers
