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

    I had the previous MI DRONE. It was ok but if you monitor their blog pages we had a lot of problems with the camera as well as other things and Xiaomi would not warrant anything other than Chinese purchased units. Bang goods sells them here but good luck getting a warranty issue support. The...

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

    I had the original Xiaomi Mi Drone before buying my Mavic. The majority of people online were complaining that we were used as test pilots but the company didn’t support us. In fact in the US and Europe you could not buy the drone through xiaomi and had to buy from 3rd party sellers, and...

    First DJI Mavic Pro 2 Crash Using Active Track 2.0!!

    Is the question, why did the drone cross the road (to get to the other side), or which came first, the drone or the power line? If a drone crashes in a corn field and no-one is there to here it, does it make a sound? Actually I am interested in the true reason it crossed. Hope it is something...

    Magic Air takes off by itself and flies at me!

    Sounds like Jaws369 is trying to get support for a lawsuit. How many time does he say he cut his leg? Did he ever upload the flight data? Some drones are designed to be thrown to start them flying. By starting the motors you are in fact telling it you want it to fly and it may be doing just what...

    Insurance and State Farm

    I had State Farm insurance. I had a loss, the drone was attacked be a bird an dropped into a lake. They paid me the full price of my coverage, sent me a check promptly, then cancelled my coverage. When I talked to the agent he said because of the claim they wouldn't renew my policy. I bought a...

    Under 400 ft?

    Afraid I have to call BS on that reply. The apache has a rotor diameter on 48' and a weight of over 112,000 lb. The downwash of an apache circling you at 50' would blow you over. Circling at 50' would be be illegal as they still have to obey FAA rules. If you were on a restricted aerial...

    Mavic Pro doesn't recognize SD card and app says disconnected

    OK, used DJI assistant 2 to reload the firmware. The problem was in the controller side. Reloaded controller and drone, reformatted sd card, all is well.

    Mavic Pro doesn't recognize SD card and app says disconnected

    Mavic Pro doesn't recognize the micro SD card saying no SD card. When I put the card into the drone and power it up the DCIM and MISC directories are created but the mavic shows offline. The mavic finishes it's startup routine and goes to atti mode then to GPS mode-ready to go, but without...

    OK, sorry I didn't equate heavily pixelated feed to the conversation. Now that I see it it is not relevant to me as I am using IOS

    copterbob, what do you mean "Follow the conversation linked above. Fairly simple once you get all the pieces." There are only you and another guy and there are no links above. Where are you talking about?

    Help with mavic pro photo quality

    Here is your third picture with a very quick adjustment. This was a 200k jpg not the raw file, so it isn't great, but shows what a little post processing can do. Are you sure there weren't smudges on the camera lens, there are areas of discoloration that could be a dirty lens or possibly the...

    Here is one of my shots. I am very happy with my Mavic, other than the horizon being off.

    Definitely not in US. Looked like some of those shots were at least 1000 ASL
