    Las Vegas desert scene in 108 degree temperature!

    I could tell it wouldn't lift or fly as fast but other than that it performed well. I didn't leave it up for more than half the battery life though and would cool it down in the AC and change batteries before launching again. My iPhone screen shut down due to excessive heat during my last shoot...

    Photos (for a change)

    My mavic Raw photos are still showing up all black when I open them up in my Mac! It used to work fine before the firmware update about a month ago. Been patiently waiting for a fix and hoped the latest 'bug fix' update would do the trick but nope. I don't want to have to buy Lightroom or some...

    Passing the Part 107

    Ok sounds good. Here it is. The video I watched two times in full and then reviewed the parts that I needed more time with using the indexed scene markers. As I mentioned before, I googled 'part 107 test advice' and things of that sort to see what else was out there as well as completing various...

    Passing the Part 107

    When I finished mine, the examiner came in and entered her password and the answers I got wrong popped up on a screen. She told me to take my time reviewing them before I walked out of the room. I then went to the front desk of the business and at that time she told me my score. However, I knew...

    Passing the Part 107

    A lot of my test dealt with sectional charts, which I found to be the easiest if for nothing else, you have all of the reference points you need right there in the booklet they give you. Don't get me wrong, you want to go over how to read sectional charts and be familiar with them, but, all of...

    Passing the Part 107

    I studied for a collective 4 maybe 5 hours over two weeks, didn't spend a dime and passed yesterday with an 87. I'm the first to tell you I'm not that great of a test taker. You don't need to spend anything, especially some of the ridiculous prices being charged these days. I don't understand...

    Stuck micro sd?

    Good advice. I am definitely investing in more smaller cards as well. I like the 64gb for 4K video in one shoot since I have 3 batteries and would want to be able to leave one card in for one session. I always dump my cards after each session.

    Stuck micro sd?

    Just happened to me, but I realized it wasn't the Mavic that was the problem, it was the thickness of the microSD card. I just bought a Samsung Pro micro SD card and it got stuck immediately. I had to use tweezers to pull it out, and then it got stuck again. I reinserted the original SD card...

    DJI is very deceptive in their shipping practices

    I think you're good. I ordered mine direct on Sunday and I got a FedEx notification that it will be delivered Thursday.
