DJI received the drone, inspected it and sent me the below invoice. After the gimbal started acting up I flew the drone and took plenty of pics and video. There was nothing wrong with the lens/camera. Only the gimbal was not working. I don't think I am going to approve the repairs. I will...

I love Moab. Colorado River

Similar issue with my Mavic Pro. I was afraid that I too would tackle the fix myself and would not be able to fix after spending lots of time and not insignificant money. I have decided to send my drone to DJI. I will let you know what they find. I get the below notification:

After much debate and looking for drone repair service locally I have decided to send the drone to DJI for repairs. At least they give you a shipping label (at their cost) and send it back to you (at their cost) if you decide not to get it fixed. I am sure they will make up for the shipping...

I just got a ipad mini 5 (wifi only). I would like to use this as a dedicated device to fly my Mavic Pro. What cable do I need, do I need to download maps ahead of time and will this wifi only ipad mini 5 work as it does not have a GPS chip? Thank you all in advance. Simba

As soon as I hit the 'Gimble Auto Calibrate' button I get below message. It does not even begin to calibrate - -I get below message instantaneously. Is it a software issue? I hope that is it as it would be an easier fix.

There used to be a member here who was very reasonable in fixing DJI drones. Please somebody provide a contact info. Thank you, Simba

After a recent crash my Mavic Pro gimbal is stuck in one position. At start up it moves up and down. Also, I can physically move the gimbal in all directions. I cannot auto calibrate the gimbal anymore. And I cannot make the gimbal move up and down with the RC. The picture and video quality is...

I could easily spend hours there flying the camera. It would be good area to practice different modes. I think waypoint missions once set up would allow spectacular videography- - No restrictions, almost no traffic and no pedestrian and open spaces so no GPS interference/drop outs. Lots of...

Valley Of The Gods, Utah. Open spaces and no signs forbidding drones. I found a Gardner's Knee Pad in the trunk that I use to help me with trailer tasks. I used it as my launching/landing pad.

It was stuck up a steep slope. I tried to climb but was not able to. I tried for at least half hour but I could get up about 20 feet but then it got steep. The rock/gravel was very loose and would give out underneath me. I decided to go back to my hotel, get my more grippier boots and hiking...

I love flying my Mavic Pro here. But need to be careful when there is high cliffs and rock formations on many sides. Next to the Colorado River. I did lose GPS signal here and did end up crashing the drone on the cliff on the other side of the road. Lesson learned. Only 1 prop was chipped...

a Samsung phone Galaxy Note 5. I think I got a hood already. thank you Simba

No matter the brightness of my phone it still becomes hard to read the fine print on the screen especially in bright sunlight. I create a shadow with my hand or body but sometimes it still is hard. Any hood accessories for the screen?

Steve F--nice setup and gives me some ideas. Today I went riding on some farm roads. I launched my Mavic Pro and attempted 'Follow Me' but no success as the drone just stayed there. I thought I would reposition the drone a bit lower but then I got an error message saying that GPS signal was...
