    Flying over water...

    If you plan on flying from a boat, Return to Home is a very bad thing. Don’t get yourself into a situation where Return to Home is necessary.

    Fly Mavic Pro over ocean

    If you’ve ever hand caught one before, you know landing protection was off. You can’t catch it otherwise. As for the life jacket, feel free to wear one. I chose not to.

    Fly Mavic Pro over ocean

    The image stabilization on the action cam makes it seems like the boat isn't moving much, but it was rocking a fair bit. There was about a 12 second wave period, which was great for the skis. This video shows the sea conditions better (although the cinematography isn't great).

    Fly Mavic Pro over ocean

    Finally got around to editing this video from September of a hand catch, on the ocean, from two perspectives - the Mavic Pro, and my Sony Action Cam fixed on the boat. No contraptions.

    Hi all! My Mavic Pro had a fly-away and DJI is giving me Bull.

    I apologize. I read your statement incorrectly and assumed, which I should not have. No excuse.

    Hi all! My Mavic Pro had a fly-away and DJI is giving me Bull.

    Said I wasn’t perfect. Said I didn’t care what you did. You asked me questions. I answered. Glad you clarified what happened.

    I don’t care what you do. How you go about your life is your business (unless you want to do business with me). As for how I live my life, I’m not perfect. Honesty is something I strive for, though, and it has served me well through almost 3 decades of marriage and work life. It was pretty...

    Hi all! My Mavic Pro had a fly-away and DJI is giving me Bull.

    Couldn’t sleep at night if I lied like that to get a replacement.

    "if ain't broke don't fix it"?

    I’m glad the airlines don’t have that motto.

    Have you read the early history of automobiles?

    The warranty doesn’t cover crashes. Only defects. That’s why they sell refresh.

    Do you have DJI care refresh?

    DJI care refresh problems

    I never would have assumed I could just say “my drone sank” and DJI would send a new drone.

    Using Ipad mini 2 with the Mavic

    I use an iPad Mini 2, and had had cpu overload issues prior to the last few DJI updates. Flew a LOT a few weeks ago (over ocean water) and didn’t have any CPI issues at all.
