    Flying with a drone (Travel not actual drone flight)

    Just returned from a trip to Hawaii on Sunday. Carried my Mavic and the batteries (in Lipo-safe bags) inside a carry-on. I was never questioned or asked to open it.

    Newb video problem

    That should have worked. I use the tablet button also.

    Newb video problem

    Sorry about the dumb question, but are you sure you started the recording using the controller button or the button on the tablet screen? It doesn't start recording automatically.

    Transporting Mavic on Motorcycle

    The factory gimbal clamp has been sufficient for me but I haven't tried any off-road riding. My HD Ultra Classic isn't well suited for that!

    What happens to the Craft when the App is closed or Lightning cable get's accidentally disconnected?

    Fortunately You can throttle down and kill the props from the remote, and RTH is still available without the app. I had the opportunity to verify that last weekend when my iPad disconnected mid flight. Still not sure what caused the disconnection. Decided to take no chances and discontinue using...

    flying with another (droner)?

    This is what I do.....now. This photo is a screenshot from a video I made of a 650' smokestack being prepped for destruction. My son and I were both flying and not paying much attention to the other's position. I was orbiting counterclockwise in point of interest mode when I caught a quick...

    Post your best Photo From Mavic

    Nice shot. I've been there several times but haven't seen it from this perspective before!

    ND filters.

    I have Neweer ND filters and have had no issues with gimbal calibration or anything else. The ND32 has been a permanent fixture on my Mavic for a couple of months now. Not sure what you mean by "stick". Any chance yours is slightly misaligned? Another possibility is that part of the friction...

    New Pilot

    I usually remove the Micro SD card from the Mavic and read the files on my computer.

    $49 Huawei Ascend XT2 aka Wunderphone = THE best Mavic screen EVER

    I'm running version 4.1.15 and have been since I got the phone last November. I cached the maps I need and keep all unnecessary apps turned off (or removed if possible). Battery life is great. One of the best $50.00 purchases I've made.

    Dedicated Flying Device...

    I second Robert's recommendation. I've been using one since last November and am happy with it. The screen is larger and brighter than my iPhone SE, though smaller than a tablet would be. Fits easily in my hard case and the battery lasts forever with wi-fi turned off.

    MP remote controller redundancy...not!

    Thanks for the tip!

    Carrying MP on motorcycle

    I carry mine in it's foam-lined hard case inside the tour pack on my bike. I wrap a jacket or something around the case as a little extra protection. You could do something similar with a soft bag that straps on the rack and is large enough for the case. Perhaps something like this Kuryakyn...

    Why the hatin on drones?

    Sorry you had that experience. Our club has airplane, heli and drone owners along with various combinations of the three. I'm sure there are a couple of "elitists" in the bunch but they keep their opinions to themselves. The growing popularity of drones has increased our membership and expanded...
