    mavic pro, lost forever, Dji reliability down the toilet drain !

    I have MPPlatinum, second one, the first one I launched using my '97 Buick as a launch "pad" because there was so much snow on the ground. Of course I understand my mistake now, but then I didn't. Drone flew fine for almost a minute then crashed, but only from 8-10 feet. My Gimbal "absorbed" the...

    Incident

    I've heard that when a predatory bird is near the best maneuver is sport mode...straight up and away from the threat.

    Flying Close to Water

    Or....get what I got an Arris Raptor for Mavic Pro...wind resistance is affected but it's not going to go "deep six" on you.

    iPads...I know nothing

    In my opinion...4k is useless unless you have the Computer power, video card and video editing program necessary to handle editing. Furthermore if you don't have a 4k TV/Monitor you can't experience the full resolution anyway. I have the Computer above and film everything in 4k, and the only...

    Gimbal Repair - NOOB WARNING

    Too late for this, but when you let friends fly your Drone, keep your Gimbal Cover on.

    MavMount 3.0 (anyone purchase this version or something similar?)

    I've had about 3 others and none of them were as sturdy as the MavMount. When I attach my sunhood it would feel cumbersome if it weren't for the fact that the MavMount comes with a lanyard that when attached balances everything out perfectly.

    Gonna sell my DJI Googles RE

    My experience has been the same...I think maybe we were hoping for a VR experience which these are not...I get a better view on my 9 1/2 inch tablet...especially with the sun-hood on. Like you, I thought it was a good idea at the time and now it's just sitting in the trunk of my car. I won't...

    Hello from Minnesota

    Hi Ian ...I'm in Central Minnesota..first things first...go to some local parks and with the Drone in "Beginner" mode get acquainted with the controller and the DJI app. Take your time learning your drone it has years of fun in it. Don't do any of the fancy stuff you might see on YouTube but...

    Watercraft!

    This won't help your present crisis...but it could keep it from happening again. I live in the State of 10,000 Lakes.. whenever I fly over or near bodies of water I put on my Raptor Floating Skids. I know this flying technology doesn't just fall out of the sky (normally) but the Skids are...
