    Found Mavic Drone in River

    I landed mine in a pond, wasn't down long but I was able to revive it. Lost the battery, took both upper and lower shells off, put in a bag of rice for a few days, then decided to send it in for repairs. DJI would not repair it because it had been in water...sent it back..took about 2 weeks...

    Blurry Images using DJI GoPro4 ap

    Been making changes in the gimble settings per YouTube and tried to fly today. The images started out OK but when I climbed high they got real blurry. Don't know if the setting changes caused anything. Seemed like the software could not keep up. I'm using a Samsung Tab A 8.5 monitor, but...

    Bye-bye tablet.

    I started with a Samsung tab a 10.1 and found it too heavy so I chose Samsung tab 8.1 and I love it. Bought it used on Ebay for $65. Recently the battery went bad and I went to YouTube and replaced that for $12 after learning how to do it.

    Report Your Over Water Failure

    I have posted this once before on another forum, but I thought I would emphasize a few things. I fly over quite a bit of water on the east coast of the US. To be safe I bought a pair of red pontoon water landing gear. If you look on eBay you will find several shown for around $15. Be ware...

    New iPads (including iPad Mini) announced

    For those Android users, I purchased a Samsung Tab A 8.5" for $65 on eBay. It's perfect for me. You will have to buy a holder, but that's about $10. Weight .5 lbs and easy to work with. Has plenty of screen to operate easily.

    Gear to use when flying M2 over water?

    Be careful on the float system you buy. There are several on Ebay that only have 2 attachment points which makes the drone unstable when landed..I learned the hard way after my drone turned upside down..I was lucky and was able to dry it out and recover it..flys perfectly now.

    Drone fasteners Botched UP

    If you've tried to work on your drone, you have found that the manufacturer uses the same fasteners that a cell phone maker does on a Mavic Pro. Very small T 5 screws. My problem is that when I took the top shell off, my cell phone tools and bits reemed out a couple of the fasteners and now I...
