    DJI goggle fit mod

    I too had the same problem. It just didn't fit my head shape. I returned them with the hope that they make another design that fits. I think straps would be ok for the back of the goggles.

    Mavic Air: Would you buy it again?

    I've had two Mavic Pros and would not buy again. My main complaint is the very fragile gimble and camera mount. Even a small hit on a small branch has brought both down, and to repair that fragile gimble costs around $500. The camera/gimble on the MA is made like the one on the Spark and I don't...

    How many times do you have to calibrate the compass?

    Look around for any metal objects that might affect your drone. Objects like: a metal part bench, too close to your vehicle, fence, etc. And don't forget that most commercial cement has metal supports in it!

    Mavic Air advertised for $370

    I'm afraid it really looks like a scam. But wishing it was true! :(

    Don't care about smaller toy drones - Give us a better Mavic camera!

    WAIT A MINUTE! As someone who has had several broken gimbal assemblies and cameras as a result of some "moderate" crashes (even small tree limbs, etc), I am really hoping that DJI can make a more heavy duty and perhaps a much more "crash resistant" gimbal/camera assembly on all future models of...

    "Crash Resistant Gimbal possible?"

    This got me excited!! Mavic Pro listed #1!!

    The Mavic can lift a little over 2lbs. But not recommended for long use, and the motors might get strained and heat up, etc.

    Learn photography along with flying your drone!

    Making the most of your drone requires some expertise in at least two subjects: flying skills and photography skills. I would advise then that everyone interested in drone photography first learn at least the basics of photography! Just because you have great tools to work on your car doesn't...

    DJI Releases “White” Mavic Pro

    I really like this new white model and it would be much easier to see below the tree line. But the Mavic's main Achilles' heel is the very delicate gimble which can easily be broken (I know because I've broken mine two times). It's expensive to fix and far too easy to break. This unit really...

    Anyone fly near Gettysburg?

    You can fly in national parks if you take off from OUTSIDE the park and land OUTSIDE the park. This way you're not on park property. However, this might not be practical if you must go a greater distance than you are comfortable with.

    LItchi can replace the DJI app and adds some different features.

    Ordering Mavic Pro today... need help

    You can get an iPad 4 Mini for around $300. Apple sells refurbs and there are several on eBay. I have an iPad 4 Mini that I paid a little over $300 on eBay. I use it only for the drones. Maybe since Apple stores sell DJI products it's common knowledge that in general, iOS works better than...
