    Mavic Pro owner making problems

    If you have the police telling you to shoot it, get that in writing and then drop it. Sure, you might get a fine, IF that person can prove you shot it down. if not, then you're off the hook. Either way, you have sent a clear message.

    Can I do this

    Curious why you wouldn't just fly it over, take the pics and then fly it back?

    Forgot to take gimbal guard off before turning drone on

    Done is several times. Hasn't seemed to make a difference to be honest.

    Am I Just Paranoid or What?!

    I get a little on edge myself, which kind of blows in reality when you're trying to enjoy it, but, I try to stay away from people, and depending on the flight, if i become unsure of where i am based on the video feed, i used the active track to come back home. I honestly go out of visual sight...

    The Dreaded 400' Altitude Limit - A NEW TWIST!

    I believe this is 400' agl from the home point, correct? At least that's how it's working for me. I was in WV a while back and took off from a hill top, flew down below and it went negative, but i could go from my take off level to 400'. I went down and took off from the valley floor, after...

    Mavic Pro Gimbal Concerns

    I did crash mine once into a tree and noticed the gimbal mount actually popped out, which produced vibration during flight. however, once i realized it and put it back, that solved my issue. I just tried mine, and it doesn't actually come in contact.

    This crap is why laws are being passed against drones

    I found an watched the video. Doesn't look like any drone i've seen on the market without rear arms. While the footage is poor quality, a white drone, as she put it, wouldn't show up black in a video, it would at least show up lighter. And honestly, the footage shows here walking, not running...

    This crap is why laws are being passed against drones

    Without having seen the video, i can say that those little blades would cause a whole lot of damage to a persons face if they were hit. There would be MANY cuts, not just one. Those blades are screaming and they have some power behind them

    Mavic Pro boring for me once I learned I can't fly out of LOS

    Meh, I guess that's the rule. I am not following it. I do what I can to stay away from flying directly over houses, and i'm not obtrusive with it, but I am always going out of site and I've not had any issues. I guess it depends on where you live, and where you fly.

    That is one hell of a booster. Have you figured out the difference in what you were getting and are getting now for distance? My issues are wifi and trees.

    The last time I will ever use ebay for selling a drone

    This same exact thing happened to me years ago and why I stopped selling on eBay. I had all the documentation to prove the sale was legit, but they did the exact same thing, ruled in their favor, but reluctantly gave me my money back.

    Mavic Pro Sport Mode at distance

    I'll have to check it again, that is a possibility. Thanks

    Mavic Pro Sport Mode at distance

    So I noticed something while testing distance in sport mode and wanted to see if anyone had the same happening. Once I got up to a good altitude, I switch to sport mode and went full throttle forward, which started out very quick and was humming along at a very nice pace. However, as it got...
