    Drone on Emirates Flight - Help please

    Yep, that was at Denpasar. Flying to Melbourne this wednesday, and after some research, I think I'm just gonna bring it in the cabin. Especially after I found that you can buy it at DXB in transit, it makes no sense that they force you to put it in your checked bags

    Drone on Emirates Flight - Help please

    I've taken my drone in the cabin several times on Emirates. Flew from Melbourne to Amsterdam, then from Amsterdam to Bali, and had no issues with the drone. I wasn't aware of any restrictions, and no one at the airport stopped me from taking my drone on board. However, coming back from Bali to...

    App not connecting to my drone

    Yeah they've done a good job at creating a drone that is easy to travel with, whilst packing a punch. I'm still a rookie and have a giant learning curve ahead of me but loving every minute I'm in the air.

    Rookie pilot from The Netherlands

    Hey, another Dutchie, welcome. I think the Mavic is gonna be awesome in OZ and NZ.

    First over water shots with the mavic pro

    **** thats awesome! I've yet to overcome the fear of flying my drone over any place where it will be destroyed if it comes down.

    @gielenmichel I want to keep my instagram filled with either photo's from friends, or photo's and video's I'd like to make myself, so I only follow people if I like their content.

    What laptop have you got?

    I've got a macbook pro, with an i5 2.7 ghz. I've yet to do any real video editing on this machine, but it handles my photo's pretty decent. I did a time-lapse video the other day out of 19gb of raw photo material, and it handled that just fine, so based on that, I guess that this laptop will...

    Scared to buy

    Well for what its worth: I bought mine about a week or so ago, and absolutely have no regrets. I had some of the common issues, with the sd card being stuck, and an issue with the app, but it all got fixed very easy, with help of the people here. What I really like about flying with a drone...

    Got my cases in

    That's awesome! Where'd you get it? Do they have different kind of cases? As these are not really suitable for light traveling/ backpacking.

    App not connecting to my drone

    I've done both naturecone and tcope's suggestions, and I reinstalled the app on my iPhone. It worked! Not sure what it actually was that made it work, but all that matters is, is that I got it to work.

    App not connecting to my drone

    I've got iOS. I have been doing my startup sequence in that order, but I had my phone connected to the controller before anything. I'll give that a try

    App not connecting to my drone

    Heya, I took my drone out for a spin, and followed the instructions by turning on remote first, then the drone, and then launching the application. For some reason, I opened the app, but it did not connect to my drone, so I was not able to see any flight information on my screen. I had it...

    Hi!

    Thanks guys! This forum has been helpful to me already :), especially in regards to regulation and to help me with my stuck stock micro SD which appears to be a common issue. I took it out for a couple of spins yesterday, had a good time with it, although I was pretty much focused on learning...

    New Pilot Checks

    That is actually very, very helpful! I bought a drone myself yesterday, and was unaware that I can't fly at night! every version of the DJI mavic comes with the RC though. I bought the regular version, not the fly more, and it came with the RC and anything else I needed to take off.
