    Can I take my Mav on Royal Caribbean Cruise?

    Agreed, but a knee-jerk reaction like this only affects the 99.9% of responsible operators who actually care about that in the first place. Instead of enforcing the laws and making an example of these idiots to send a message, yet again everyone else is getting screwed. A very familiar theme...

    Can I take my Mav on Royal Caribbean Cruise?

    They could have tightened the policy or it may have something to do with the ports of call of a specific itinerary. I have already researched this as well, so for example, in Spain you need to obtain a local permit before you fly a drone anywhere otherwise you will face an expensive fine. But...

    Can I take my Mav on Royal Caribbean Cruise?

    Unfortunately, at least for the Independence of the Seas May 15, 2007 departure, 13-day cruise out of Southampton, England, the policy is to confiscate all aerial drones found upon embarkation during the security screening. Customer Service categorically stated this and that there are...

    Can I take my Mav on Royal Caribbean Cruise?

    I had called them yesterday and got the same answer. Unfortunately it's too late to cancel the trip but this will be my last cruise with Royal Caribbean. They essentially equate aerial cameras--even the ones specifically designed to be portable and travel-friendly like the Mavic Pro--with...

    First bad experience with my mavic. Car chasing with activetrack

    I would try a full IMU and gimbal recalibration and see if that helps alleviating this issue. I'm assuming you're running on the latest DJI Go app and .600 firmware.

    Using a power bank to charge Mavic batteries?

    I would strongly discourage anyone using anything other than DJI-supplied charging accessories for the Mavic Pro Li-Po batteries. Aside from the risk to the equipment itself, it can also cause fire or explosion that can easily burn the whole house down. It's simply not worth it.

    Good DSLR case for quick trips mavic+controller?

    I use a LowePro 250 Event Messenger bag. Accommodates 2 Mavics/Controllers/5 batteries. Mavmount with iPad Mini 4 LTE, and landing pad is also attached.

    DJI Care Refresh Disapointment

    Same exact issue here. Repair completed and testing had completed over two weeks ago now. Since then, no news. I'm on the East Coast so UPS Ground will take time but I should be able to get at least a shipping estimate out of them. It's bad enough to consider a backup Mavic unit just so...
