    IMU won't calibrate

    Thanks for posting this suggestion it worked for me on my old Mavic Pro. It’s been a minute since I have had the drone out and about.

    Is this hobby going to last?

    I bought Mavic Pro when they first came out $1000 down the drain. After buying another $500 in accessories and getting certified with all the red tape and so forth, money and time down the drain. guess the moderators will delete this comment, I can’t believe they have not deleted this thread.

    Is this hobby going to last?

    I too have felt I got into drones just a little too late. No longer had I acquired my certification the entire drone as a hobby started going down hill. When the mini hit the market that dominated this blog. It showed me people want to fly drones but the heavy hand of government for whatever...

    Calif. tourist fined $20K for out-of-control drone that landed at airport in Las Vegas flight in 2018

    That is some of the best news I have read lately about irresponsible drone operators. Too bad he did not get jail time. Would sure like to see more fines and prosecution for this type action. Makes all the effort to get certified and following the rules worth the effort.

    How much life left on original Mavic pro?

    I will defer to the experts. I think less than a year is great. Mine were two years old

    How much life left on original Mavic pro?

    Not trying to hijack your post but those Target batteries in Tennessee were over two years old right out of the box. I returned them on the advice of some the highest respected drone owners on this forum. Just beware of what you have check the manufacturer date on batteries and know how long...

    Xiaomi's entrance in the drone market. DJI should seriously pay attention to their customers now.

    It may be time for you to leave this group. Staying in a DJI forum with the attitude and opinion such as yours is not healthy for you or anyone in this forum. Just my 2 cents worth ?

    TN - State Law SB 306 effective 7/1/19 - Questions?

    Two reasons come to mind. One give local authorities ability to prosecute. Second reason it’s obvious general public cannot and will not obey law hence we are getting closer and closer to police state. Not trying to be smart mouth or rude, just responding to your open end question that I hope...

    TN - State Law SB 306 effective 7/1/19 - Questions?

    Jaw, you can video or make stills all day long without being in right of way. Again I grew up and live in Nashville area. Yeah I have worked and been to Radnor yard. Photographed Union Station and on and on. I was expressing my opinion and you have the right to express your we may or may not...

    TN - State Law SB 306 effective 7/1/19 - Questions?

    I too am native Nashvillian and would like nothing better than fly around downtown just to record what is happening to my home town. I may still do it on a early Sunday morning or a holiday when the city is not buzzing or full of tourists. I know that is getting harder by the day, I live very...
