    The dreaded McDonald's double drive thru

    In Australia they have a 150mm (6”) high kerb instead of a painted yellow line to funnel people into one lane then split into the two. I guess in America they’d just drive over the kerb anyway

    Tell me how you use a drone

    I’m a project manager on building sites good for progress photos. I use waypoints and do weekly videos, at the end of the job I want to edit it and do a video time lapse, will be cool when the project finishes mid next year.

    Swap the MP for the Mavic Air?

    I was only going by the schedule someone had done that says it didn't but if it does, then I would definitely by the MA

    Swap the MP for the Mavic Air?

    The MP has way more flight intelligent modes like waypoints etc that are more useful for your fledgling business. The camera in the MP is great too.

    Crashed Mavic pro into a tree now my gimbal is messed up

    Easy fix, I crashed mine looks like the same damage, just need a gimbal flat cable, dampening board yours might need the other cable. Cost potentially $40 dollars AUD. YouTube the fix a crash and you should be right.

    So...I’m confused. Should I update to the latest firmware?

    Another question is I’ve skipped a couple of updates, but have the latest ie .04.0200, So do I miss out on the updates that came with .04.0100 as an example or does updating to the latest one also cover the previous ones? Also I have no issues apparent with this latest update.

    Can someone who is currently fixing a torn gimbal ribbon lay it flat folded & post it?

    I actually practiced with the broken one first before trying to fit the new one, do it a couple of times then fitting the new one is easy

    Damaged Mavic

    Crashed mine too, torn gimbal flat flex cable and rubber on the dampening mounting board. YouTubed the repair fairly easy and parts from eBay. Yes could of sent it away to DJI but felt it was my stupidity so adopted a “fix my own f##k up” mentality all works fine
