    Mavic Air Tablet

    I am wanting to get a small tablet to use to fly my drone. I do not however have the money for an ipad mini. I am wondering what size kindle fire will fit in the stock controller arms? I am thinking the HD7 would but I am not sure. Any tips are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Firmware problems?

    I have had my mavic air for two weeks now and have no updates the firmware. The reason I decided not to is because I had read that the newer updates where having a lot of problems with apple products and with compass calibrations. I do have to calibrate my compass every time I fly but at least I...

    Air photo help

    Thank you! I spent a little bit of time last night watching videos on histogram and other settings. I will continue to study and see what I can figured out.

    Air photo help

    I actually like the way the dog photo turned out. The rooftop one was in manual. I took a bunch from the same spot messing with different settings and that’s the one that I liked the best.

    Air photo help

    Here are some of about 30 pictures that I took today. The first sunset photo is my favorite but it is very grainy. The lighter sunset photo is much less grainy, however, I don't like the colors in it nearly as much. None of the photos to me have the color or sharpness that I really expect except...

    Air photo help

    I am wondering where the best place is to start to look up the best settings for photos that I take with my air. I just received it last night, and the photos I took this morning in a very over cast day look pretty bad. Any tips are greatly appreciated. TIA

    Mavic Air battery question

    I work on a tow boat where I am gone 28 days then home 28 days. I am worried about what the time home could do to my batteries. What would be the best way to store them each time I am gone in order to give them the longest life I can? Any information is greatly appreciated.

    Will one of the $10 headsets from Walmart that you put your phone in work the same?

    Litchi for $15.99 !

    That is more or less what I was thinking. I’m not actually a brand new pilot. I have 20-30 hours with a Yuneec Q500. But they might as well be brand new. I know my Mavic Air will be a while new animal. But waypoint missions is one of the things that interest me the most. I like to travel and I...

    Litchi for $15.99 !

    Is litchi worth getting for a brand new pilot? My drone isn’t even in yet. Should be next week sometime.

    NFZ Question

    Ok. Thank you both. I really appreciate it. Last time I flew was early May. I threw a propeller on my Yuneec Q500 and havent flown since. I did not know so many changes had been made. I know then that the app I used said I could not fly where I was. I will have to check it out when I get home...

    NFZ Question

    I am sure this has probably been posted here but I do not actually seem to be finding it. My house sits at exactly the five mile point of a NFZ. To be exact when I view my map on B4UFLY my front yard is in the circle and my back yard is not. The airport that this NFZ comes from is so small it...

    When mine was a pup I got one of the $5 mini drone things from Walmart. This guy caught it the fourth flight. He absolutely hated the thing.

    Buying an Air next week!! Tips?!

    This little fella right here is the reason I don’t have a whoop or a tello, or really anything to fly inside. He doesn’t like it. A
