Quite an old post, but I ask again. I do plan to fly to Chile and Argentina, this November and don't want to have issues with my Mavic. I will pass multiple times by plane or by car from this two countries, all the way from Santiago to Ushuaia. I know it's going to be windy and maybe it will be...

Airplane mode, on Samsung at least, doesn't turn the GPS off. If you have a MAP app of some sort, other than GOOGLE'S map, you can test it for yourself. Just bare in mind that it may take several second in a open sky environment to get a proper lock. I use this feature on flights to see current...

I use a 128GB Samsung Evo Plus U3 without a problem in my MPP. The only downside I find is the 10min limit of the recording, which is not related to the micro SD card used or formatting method used, but to the drone itself.

I feel you on some points, but complaining about the price tag of $1K, doesn't make any sense without comparing to something else. If you can state that there is another drone with better or the same quality in terms of photo capabilities at a lesser price let me know. My MPP is still not a...

Thank you for your reply. You eased my mind. I thought that you need a permit to fly anywhere. And getting one from the DoC I have heard it's almost impossible.

I plan to go to NZ , north and south, at he end of this month and want to bring my MPP. How is it flying your drone in NZ? Especially the southern part. I have read on different forums that the rules regarding drones in NZ are quite drastic. Do you need some kind of permit ? I plan to take...

Similar story. Clear skies. Temp ~0°C, takeoff altitude 1650m, on top of a mountain. Fog and wind was picking up and I had to return. At this point I was lower by 30m than starting point and 600m away...and lost connection. I was chicken **** since my RTH altitude was set to 100m. I was relieved...

Sorry that I can't. Don't own one ;) just a MPP. I was curious just for the fact it should be more stable and how would that affect the shutter speed.

I watched this topic with interest, but just for the sake of the comparison, how much better would it be with the inspire 2 ?

Regarding PolarPro I had an issue with one of them, more exactly the ND8 used in this video. I have a dot, size of needle, where the coating is missing. It's not quite in the center so it didn't damage much the quality of the video. But I wrote to PolarPro customer service and where so kind to...

My above videos are shot using MPP. Forgot to mention CE since I'm in Romania. As for range limit I could not achieve it yet but if the height is sufficient it can go pretty far ( +4km at ~100m altitude). Filter used: PolarPro ND8. If the weather is great you can get awesome images. As for a...

The day before I got the same issue with Samsung Note 8. Did go after a hill and lost connection with the MPP, both the remote and the phone. Remote reconnected quite fast back, but the app refused to do so. I closed and reopened the app without luck. I believe you have to unplug the phone and...

I hope you won't regret your decision. Here are some cuts from a 22:22 minutes flight, 25% battery left, 7668m travelled distance at 3500m far away ( and it was -5°C bellow freezing point). Be sure to get PolarPro filters, because I don't fly without them. Enjoy ! &

My feedback on this matter. I wrote an email to PolarPro customer service the next day. After I explained the problem they where kind to send me a replacement filter free of charge. That's what I call excellent customer support. Good job PolarPro.
