    NEW RELEASE! Portable Charging Station for Mavic - DroneMax M10

    You could but it would be expensive and probably not worth it unless you are going off grid for a month. I was off grid in Nepal for 15 days and was fine with 3 batteries and the M10. I had more power than I needed even when flying daily. The M10 recharges all 3 batteries from 30% to 95%. So I...

    NEW RELEASE! Portable Charging Station for Mavic - DroneMax M10

    I've been thinking about this some more. Usually I shy away from running the batteries down past 30% - to avoid any return to home issues. I have 3 batteries currently. If I run them all down to 30% each then this charger could power them back up to 95% each. Seems like a good way to maximize my...

    NEW RELEASE! Portable Charging Station for Mavic - DroneMax M10

    I've been looking for a solution like this for an upcoming 15 day backpacking trip. But as others mentioned, I don't see enough benefit over buying 2 additional batteries. Maybe if they can bring down the price point then it would start to make sense. Otherwise 30$ is worth doubling the times I...

    Toilet Bowling and Flying Over Water

    My understanding is you should also recalibrate when you fly in new locations. E.g. Another town/state. I travel to a new town every 7 days so I get an error to recalibrate regularly.

    Well, it finally happened! CRASH!

    Any update on the Refresh turn around? Any tips for dealing with DJI for faster turn around? Shipping mine today. Paying for faster shipping because I'm hoping to get it back in 2 weeks for a trip. Also did you just ship the bird or the whole package back? Thanks all!

    Mavic refreshed !!!!

    I had a crash and need to send mine in. But I've heard different accounts of what to send in. One guy from DJI said just the battery and the bird. One guy said everything should go back in the original box. The website says just bird and battery. Not sure who to trust. I'm on a tight turn...

    Gimbal base tab broken.

    Thanks - I looked at the damage on mine a bit more. It was worse than I thought. I'm sending it to DJI. Looks like one of the ribbons tore and the rubber bands got stretched.

    Gimbal base tab broken.

    Any updates on this. Just broke mine today. Just need the little tab. But I don't have a 3D printer and it looks like the links are for the base not the tab that holds the base. Thanks!

    How long does DJI take to repair a gimbal?

    Some more info: U.S. and U.K. ban laptops and other devices on flights from Middle East Only seems to be affecting 13 countries and only about carry ons. Unfortunately, I'll be heading to on of them in Oct...
