    DJI GO4 - Latest update issues?

    Yes...Mavic Platinum...iPhone6...flew it today in a yellow part of a No Fly Zone after I self-unlocked. No problem until the "safety notification" popped up on the screen reminding me that I was flying in a area where I needed to take special care and take responsibility for flyng in this...

    Put Your Mavic to Work

    Stupendous! One question...where does one go to find cool background music like that?

    Put Your Mavic to Work

    My daughter is having an outdoor wedding this summer and I hope to be competent enough by then to capture a lot of it by drone. Also going to Africa this summer and hope to get some shots of the Mountain Gorillas from an angle most people don't get to see.

    Maximum Lifting force?

    In one video test I saw I was surprised that the lifting capability actually seemed to go down a little when it went into Sports mode.

    Amen...the screws are so small they vanished twice in my carpet, even though I saw EXACTLY where they each fell. Finally did find them with some effort. Taped them to the rubber piece I removed so they won't get lost again.

    Cargo capacity how much can the mavic PP carry?

    The answer appears to be 2.3 pounds. Check out the videos.

    My iPhoe 6 in the Otterbox Defender case fit nicely after I removed the top rubber piece. You need to removed them both, and then put one back.

    Amazing flying!

    ATTI mode practice

    Of course not...but it requires you to manually fly it and the controls are arranged identical to the Mavic, even looks the same. So I find it a great way to learn manual control in a way that translates directly to the Mavic.

    Maximum Lifting force?

    Has anyone measured the maximum lifting force capability of a Mavic Pro or a Mavic Pro Platinum? Just curious.

    ATTI mode practice

    In a different thread I heard about another little drone good for practice flying (Eachine E58). The best part about this drone is that it looks and controls just like a mini-Mavic, so I think it will be especially good for training to fly a Mavic. I picked one up on Amazon for $80. Check out...

    mavic controller with iphone with otter box

    Wow...great info.... I am puzzling how to get the inserts out. I see three tiny screws on the end of each gripping arm. Are those the screws I need to remove? Also not sure where to get a star screw driver that tiny. So glad to know this is solvable,though. :) I would hate to have to be...

    Greetings from Dubai, UAE

    It sounds like you might be a good one to ask about travel restrictions for my Mavic Pro in Dubai. I am traveling from Seattle to Dubai next July...staying overnight, then on to Uganda...then back from Uganda and staying a week in Dubai. I hope to take my Mavic Pro and DJI goggles with me on...

    this is a terrible idea! at least i didn't crash. ascending through the canopy of the forest.

    Great video. I assume you couldn't keep the drone in sight the whole time due to the foliage. How is your signal strength in such a situation? I am hoping to take my Mavic Pro Platinum and DJI goggles with me to Africa next summer and see if I can capture some shots of mountain gorillas, but...
