    RIP M2P - My Crash Video

    Yep that worked. Sorry for the loss of your drone. Gorgeous location for flying and filming. Hope you're able to recover it.

    (Poll) How old are we?

    49. Started with a P3A in 2015 and picked up my MP a year ago.

    Never Crashed Survey

    Afraid I may jinx myself by posting but here goes. Flying for over two years now. 135 flights between my P3A and MP without a crash.

    Now... I hate my Mavic

    Have to agree. I have been loyal to Android for over a decade and live in a house divided. My wife is all in on the Apple ecosystem. After experiencing frustrating disconnects & other issues using my Nexus 7 (2013), Samsung S7E & Pixel XL I finally caved and borrowed her iPad Mini 4. Zero...

    what's best for the MP, android or ios?

    About a week ahead of you. Long time Android user (been over 10 years since I owned an Apple product). Over the past month both my Pixel XL and son's S7E have experienced multiple disconnects mid flight. I searched the forums and followed the recommendations but it didn't help. Purchased a used...

    Samsung Galaxy S7 Nougat?

    S7E on Verizon here. After the Nougat upgrade I was experiencing two to three disconnects per flying session. It was so bad I was checking CL for iPad Mini 2's & 4's... and I'm a loyal Android type of guy. I uninstalled-reinstalled the DJI Go 4 app, cleared the phone cache, restarted the phone...

    Lost Mavic Help!! I am terrified!

    I'm cautiously optimistic. Enough so that I placed a pre-order for one. Having invested in other Indiegogo and Kickstarter projects, I've seen some turn out great/as described and others completely implode. Hope Ping turns out as described or better.

    Emergency shut down question,

    Only been flying for a couple years now but I would say you're better off to maintain power and make an evasive maneuver. Pretty sure a power assisted drop in elevation would happen faster than a free fall.

    A couple of mavic pics today..

    Great pictures. Much like you I just received my MP and have only taken a small number of photos using the auto settings. So far I'm very happy with my purchase. Not trying to hijack your thread but wanted to share a couple I took today.

    Got my first mavic yesterday!

    I agree. I have always gone over my checklist before each flight with my P3A and will do the same with my MP. 72 flights covering over 90 miles with no mishaps. I'm five flights into my MP and absolutely love the machine. The size, agility, lower noise signature, range and portability make it...

    Got my first mavic yesterday!

    In California. Took mine six days to arrive as well. First flight earlier this evening went great. Amazing machine. Noticeably less noisy than my P3A and so much smaller. Can't wait to take it out tomorrow. Sent from my Pixel XL using MavicPilots mobile app

    Question? Log for places you have been with the Mavic

    The DJI Go app provides much, if not all of what you described. I'm still waiting for my Mavic to arrive in a couple days but I've had my P3A for over a year now. I can look back at the app and see all the details about my flight, location, time, feet flown, exact track, thumbnails of photos...
