    Update - Firmware Release - [OP: Mavic Mini DOES NOT support unlock in no fly zones yet!]

    This is the reason why I'm about to return my Mavic Mini this weekend. I live like five miles from a hospital and I can't fly my mini nowhere near my home's area. I never had any issues with my past Dji drones....

    Buying and returning a Mavic Mini in the same day...

    Apparently not because this is the first time I’ve been hit with this. I bought a Mavic Pro Platinum a couple months ago and I was able to fly it almost anywhere. Of course I would never fly anywhere near a hospital because I realize there’s helicopters coming in and out throughout the day. I...

    Update - Firmware Release - [OP: Mavic Mini DOES NOT support unlock in no fly zones yet!]

    I wish I would have seen this thread before buying the Mavic Mini over the weekend. I was all excited when UPS delivered it today. Unpacked everything, charged the batteries and I did all the firmware updates. Turned the remote on, turned the drone on and, nothing! Stupid red block on my iPhone...

    Lost mavic mini on first flight with it flying away and not responding

    The more I read these types of threads the more I'm thinking the MM can only be flown in weather conditions with little to no wind. After all, the MM's lightweight is something that was designed to help it but in all reality it seems like it's doing more harm than good.

    Buying and returning a Mavic Mini in the same day...

    I've been flying Dji drones for several years and I have never had an issue with being able to fly in my neighborhood, none... I usually either fly from my backyard or I fly in a large open field at a church that's maybe 1/4 mile from my house. Once again, I have never had any issues. So I...

    Just bought a MPP and I have a firmware question

    Can't answer your question because like I said I just bought the MPP. Anyhow, I flew the drone today with the boxed FW and it flew perfectly. So, I'm a firm believer in if it's not broke then don't fix it.

    Just bought a MPP and I have a firmware question

    I just bought a MPP after being out of the drone scene for almost two years. One thing I do remember is how sketchy certain firmware revisions could be so I was always cautious about updating my FW especially if the current FW on my drone was working just fine. My MPP came with version...

    New DIY decals

    Those look pretty cool. I'm a huge Transformers fan.

    I have a dead battery and basically DJI told me tough luck...

    I tell myself that all the time. I decided to fly today. I spent almost three hours between getting my MP packed up and of course with charging a couple batteries. I went outside to discover it was way too **** windy to fly safely so I decided to go back inside. Now I remember why my Mavic Pro...

    Batteries need to be babysat every three months?

    Thanks for all the replies. I tested the other two batteries today and everything works great. I have decided to sell my Mavic Pro though. This toy, so to speak sits around way too much considering how expensive these things cost.

    Batteries need to be babysat every three months?

    So here's my short story. I bought my MP back in 2/2017 and it's only been flown a handful of times. As a matter of fact, I just check one of the battery cycle counts and its up to a whopping twelve cycles. As I said, I hardly get to fly the drone. So I decided to fly it today (after being in...

    Should I update my Mavic Pro's firmware?

    Here's my simple situation. It's been easily six months or so since I've flown my Mavic Pro and I finally have the itch to start flying again. I've been around long enough to know newer firmware isn't always better firmware. I cannot remember what firmware my MP has (which is currently charging)...

    Are you interested in delivering food and drinks with your drone for cash?

    I only read through the first page of this thread and two words come to mind: Dumb idea.

    Check your propellers

    That's some scary stuff. I will add this to my preflight list. Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots
