    Obstacle avoidance

    Yesterday I was flying filming a herd of Oryx and Zebra. I don't recall right off hand the exact altitude where it started, but I want to say somewhere around 80 ft. So then I lowered my altitude and it did it several times. The camera was pointed at the ground with the sun at it's 6. No...

    Obstacle avoidance

    Got my mavic and love it. Still trying to learn all of the features, but I'm flying. I've been having an issue with obstacle avoidance. The drone will randomly sense an obstacle when there is no obstacle there. And do this repeatedly. Am I missing something here?

    Insurance

    With all due respect, and to set the record straight and clear.... PAP stands for Personal Articles Policy as far as State Farm insurance is concerned. And yes, the the iPad was added along with every single accessory I purchased. All I had to do was send receipts. Personal Articles Policy –...

    Insurance

    Definitely not true... it's called a PAP policy. I just got one today for $60 a year. Total coverage is $2,000 and covers not just the Drone, but all the accessories the hard case and the iPad Mini 4. It's covered if anything happens to it. Broken, lost, drowned, or stolen.

    So how does one go about getting insurance? Either option. *UPDATE* - nevermind, I just looked into this and got a State Farm policy which covers everything. Accessories, case, drone and even the ipad mini 4. I will also double cover with DJI care. Thanks for the heads up about that.

    Thanks for the info Dragonfly, but i ordered an iPad mini 4 that is both Wi-Fi & cellular capable. I am not going to activate cellular service, but had to get that model so I would have GPS. It is my understanding that will be sufficient for the mavic to lock on to my position. Thanks again!

    I ended up ordering a mavic pro fly more bundle from an authorized retailer for $1,175 which also included a $100 amazon gift card in that price. I also ordered an iPad mini 4 wifi+cellular from Apple to be used as a dedicated device. I'm hoping I made good buying decisions. Thank you all...

    So just to clarify, if I get an iPad mini 2, and do not activate cellular service, I will still be able to use the GPS and all of the functions available with the mavic? Follow me, RTH, etc?

    Yes, I agree with a more capable device. Just seem to be so many options and reports. Obviously I want the best performance with the least amount of problems, and just want to make a good decision the first time. So am I understanding correctly, that in order to have GPS capability I either...

    I am ordering a mavic today and have a couple of questions. I'm new to this, so please bear with me. First question is does it matter where I order from as far as warranty goes? Also, the current phone that i have is a galaxy j3, which is full of apps and garbage and I do not believe it's...
