I picked up a used one for 850 a few weeks ago. Talked them down from 1050. Find someone on Craigslist who has posted for a few weeks without selling. Then lowball them. My first offer was 700. If they need the cash they will drop the price.

Yep. A lap course so we had full access for mapping 2 days before the event.

My cousin grabbed this clip using litchi. He speeded up as the racers got faster. He was flying a P3, I fly the Mavic. We walked the course 2 days before and flew countless laps and identified all possible obstacles. Those wires were measured and remeasured and measured again.

My cousin has his commercial license and insurance. We had to coordinate with FAA, NYPD, Port Authority, Counter Terrorism and venue control. But we managed to get approval. All day event. From 12 to 11 at night. Endless battery cycles, controller charging, waypoint tweaking. But it all...

What is this process of rolling it back? Can't think of a worse time for this to happen. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using MavicPilots mobile app

My cousin and I picked up a gig to fly a sporting event. The course is a closed loop with some s turns and straightaways for blasting ahead of the field. Looking for an app that will allow me to plot the course, manipulate the camera angles and modify speed for the different sections of the...

Went to B&H today to look at different carrying options. I found a section with used camera and equipment bags. There were some very good choices there and they did not appear used in the least. The full bag spectrum was overwhelming. They also have a cage in the back in the drone section...

So what insurance works for birds lost in bodies of water that are not retrievable? This is my current dilemma. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using MavicPilots mobile app

Mission accomplished. Picked it up and charged everything up. Lit out for the ikea park before it got dark. Performed miles ahead of the 3dr-this is my benchmark. After taking it off beginner I was able to get higher and farther out than I ever got from the 3dr. Messed with the camera a...

The shop I am buying through is offering insurance through them for 150. Making a claim involves a 150 dollar deductible. Cant understand how he is selling that coverage at those rates when you can get Refresh at 99 and State Fram at 60. So is it as simple as calling a SF agent in my...

Got the call last night. Pick it up today at 2pm. It was 60 degrees out yesterday with little wind whereas today and tomorrow is going to go down to the 30's with tons of wind. Oh well, will have today and saturday to read the manual and figure out everything before putting it in the air...

If I didn't want to use my current operative phone with the controller, can I use my old s6 if it has the dji go app? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using MavicPilots mobile app

OK - so we have probably passed each other on the bridges if you bike as well. Might I say that the small footprint of this drone is the reason for the purchase. So I can carry it wherever without that huge turtle hump on my back with my other drone. My Insta: @onespeedfixed This thing...

Brooklyn in the house. I am getting mine from Brooklyn Drones as well. I was number 32 when I put money down in December. Should get it this week or next based on my #7 position. I live and work in redhook so I cannot wait to send this thing out for some flying. Good to know there are...

Looking at the requirements for the part 107 license process: Must be vetted by the Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) So how clean does your record have to be to be approved by the TSA?
