    How low can it fly?

    You might consider investing in some floats. Then you can experiment with some safety.

    POLL Did you pass part 107 the first try?

    I think anyone who flies sailplanes would probably be familiar. Glider pilots set altitude records with lenticular clouds.

    I’m so sick of these PROHIBITED signs everywhere I go in Los Angeles

    I flew at Malibu a few months ago to get some shots of the pier. Didn't see any signs and at dawn not very many people. I think flying at dawn reduces the chance of problems in general. Santa Monica Pier was another story. It was inside 5 mi. of the Santa Monica Airport. Even at dawn lots more...

    Rumor of FAA restriction on use of drone photos

    Thanks sar104, I was just supposed to shoot some b roll down at the beach for students making a skate board commercial for a class project. These rules seem to be a guide for the school administration's activity on campus.

    what the hell is going on ?

    You could check for upgrades on your device (phone, ipad) but this is a puzzler. Iv'e never even heard of this warning. Maybe collision avoidance is malfunctioning. You could try turning it off if you haven't already.

    what the hell is going on ?

    I always upgrade everything but the problem occurred with the i pad version before this current version and the mavic firmware version before the current version. My i pad is currently 11.4 and the mavic is 0.400. It seemed like not upgrading everything could be the cause of a problem. I didn't...

    what the hell is going on ?

    I upgraded the firmware on my mavic pro and the ap crashed every time I took off. Checked for upgrades on my I pad. That fixed the problem.

    New firmware 1000 for Mavic Pro. Anyone tried it?

    My Mac is the same as yours. The video opens but a still will not. Like others have mentioned I get a black screen. I'm going to check my raw file driver on The Camera Guy's suggestion.

    New firmware 1000 for Mavic Pro. Anyone tried it?

    Upgraded to .1000, took it out for a test flight and nothing changed that I've noticed. I can still set max altitude at 500m and I still can't open a 4k photo on my new imac.

    DJI Mavic DNG File Error

    I can import 4k photos to my 2011 mac book pro with a 1080p screen but not to my new i mac with a 5k screen. Went to the Mac store and the same with their computers.
