    Rochester/Webster - NY

    I'd recommend going to Lucien Morin Park, it's on the south end of the bay. I walked back through that park on Mother's Day and some of the views of the wetlands are great from the trails and would probably be amazing from the air. I might even bring my Mavic with me and stop after work some...

    I'm in the Rochester area myself, and work in Webster. I haven't had a chance to get out too much this year, I need to fix that!

    What SD card will you be using with the Mavic?

    Along with the included 16GB MicroSD card, I have two of the SanDisk Extreme 32GB MicroSDHC UHS-I/U3 Card with Adapter from Amazon. Every time I swap out a battery I swap out the MicroSD card. Don't want to loose all my media if something went wrong.

    Phone or Tablet?

    I have an iPad mini 2nd gen that works really well. I've found if I turn off the Bluetooth and wifi that saves the battery quite a bit. iPad battery lasts through all 3 batteries for the Fly More package.

    Anyone label Mavic with your phone number?

    I hadn't thought about putting my name and number on the drone till I saw this thread. Just added another sticker inside the battery bay containing both. Thanks for the idea!

    show your faa registration labels or plates on MP

    I've got my number written on a sticker inside the battery bay. Easy to access, and if the sticker fades or comes out I have a couple more ready to go in the Mavic carry bag.

    Greetings from Rochester, NY!

    Hi All! Just got my Mavic on Sunday. I had a blast with it all Sunday afternoon, kept having to recharge the batteries. Not very skilled with the unit, just a matter of time and practice. So for now I pilot in Beginner Mode. Attached is one of my favorite photos that I took Sunday. Looking...
