I went ahead and bought the shield. It's works good.

I have been looking for used Shields. I haven't found many at a decent price. One guy had one on craigslist locally but it had a bunch of cracks in the screen and problems holding a charge... He was asking $50!!! I can buy a new one for $199! I will probably end up buying a new Shield but I hate...

I am 51 and got my first drone, a P3S last summer. I ordered the Mavic on day 2 of pre-order and love it. I passed my FAA sUAS certification about a month ago. I did it just to do it. I have taken a few pictures for convenience purposes at work. So, technically I can say I'm a professional drone...

I want to use my new Avegant Glyph headset while I fly my Mavic. I am an Apple guy and I have a nice iPad mini that I use for normal flying but obviously it won't work for this. I know the Nvidia shield has the HDMI output I need but I don't want to spend $200 + on a tablet I will only use for...

Well said Droningon!

After taking my Mavic on a few trips over the past few weeks I noticed my gimbal cover was cracked. I have been placing the fly more bag in my Travelpro backpack and carrying it with me on the plane. I fear the soft case just doesn't offer enough protection so I went in search of a hard case...

I game for going out for a group fly when it warms up... Really cold right now. I'm bald of me and cold weather are not friends.

Also, I had the full fly more package in the bag.. no issue. Also, I keep the mavic bag in my backpack when on the plane. You can only carry on one bag and one extra bag like a backpack. I have a nice travelpro backpack the carries my computer and work stuff but has plenty of room to serve as a...

Just took my mavic on a trip this past week. Just put the bag in one of the bins At the TSA checkpoint and that was it. Did it same way coming home with no issues. They never even unzipped it. I have the DJI standard mavic bag. I'm flying with it again tomorrow. Don't expect any issues

Nearly the same thing happened to me on my second fight.

I have no idea with the arm. It was a one time issue. They don't lock per say but there is a fairly positive open position and it would be nearly impossible for it to close on it's own. I know it was opened but I guess it could have been just shy of full open. The only thing I can think of is...

Not sure exactly. It was pretty windy once I got away from the house. I have flown many times since then with no additional issues. I love the Mavic. The more I fly it the more I like it.

I know nothing about photography but now that I have my Mavic I am eager to learn how to take great pictures and video. Anyone one have recommendations for sites, books or programs to learn how to take better photos or videos?

Full disclosure... I took my drone out for flight #3 today. I discovered a major issue that I overlooked from the crash yesterday. I had a prop with about 1/4" clipped off of it. I didn't see it yesterday. It was a perfect shear point. I replaced all four props and I am happy to say it it...

I received my mavic a few days ago and wanted to share a few things that have occurred. I previously had a P3S so this isn't my first drone. First flight i almost lost the drone. I was sitting on my front porch and didn't realize how strong the wind was. I went out quite a distance and the...
