I am using this: Mini 4 Tablet Holder It is well balanced and works nicely as a stand when you set it down. It really doesn't bother me that I don't have direct sight to the RC. A simple tilt of the holder and I can see it if I need to.... Greg

I have the MP and have never used anything but the auto settings. This is what works for me. Since the lens is such a wide angle, there is a wide variety of light for it to lock on to. I have found that rotating the drone a few degrees to the left or right it changes the exposure and will...

"Not being there I could not say for sure of course. Maybe next time fly above him and take some photos or video and see where he is in relation to everything, just to be sure." Uhmmm... When a plane comes in below the tree tops a 100mph it is a bit difficult to grab my drone, launch it and...

Thank You! Greg

Thank you all for your responses. Somehow I am not terribly surprised. I'll start shopping around a bit..... Not wanting to hijack my own thread, but I just came in from a quick test flight. We have an eagles nest in our neighbors yard.... As I have feared, there were two of them that...

I just got my Mavic Pro and am brand new to all of this. Right away I realized that 1 battery is not enough. I'd like to get a little feedback on non DJI brand batteries. Are 3rd party batteries safe? Specifically these at Amazon. The price makes them very enticing...
