Here is the uncut footage: My First Drone's Last Flight

Hey folks, I just returned to Reno from a successful drone rescue mission. The drone is smashed, and the camera and a leg were removed from the body. The card is still good, tho, and I just watched the video of the incident. It looks like after I hit the return to home button, the drone starts...

I think that I might have found some rock-climbers in Las Vegas that might go look for it. If that doesn't work out, I'm going to make a special trip. @Revoh713 , let me know when you get yours, and I'll make a weekend trip down there from Reno. My email address is beaurogers74 at gmail dot com...

I called and said that my controller said, "lost connection," as soon as I hit "return to home," and they're going to evaluate the records again. I also asked if I could get a refund on my $99 DJI Care policy, and they said no.

This was my reply from DJI DJI Support here. Thanks for your patience. We have analyzed the flight records and found that: 1) At flight time 14’52’’, the pilot has initiated a RTH (Return To Home) via the DJI GO app. The RTH height was 30 meters and the drone was with 119 meters high from home...

Hi, I need to provide the serial number on my Mavic's controller, but I'm not sure which series of numbers it is. Could someone help? Thanks!

Exit 112 on I-15 North, about 10 miles west of Mesquite, NV, is the exit to get there. You have to follow that road until it crosses the Virgin River, and then turn right on Gold Butte Road. From there, it's about 20-30 minutes down that road before there are some signs. There is a right hand...

I would be willing to have a meetup sometime after new year to search for it, and I'm all about making a movie about it. I have a camera that shoots 4K video with a nice, Rode microphone. Send me an email if you're interested.

"My biggest question is were you making this adventure on your own? What would you have done if the truck broke down & you didn't have cell signal?" I'm a landscape photographer of 22 years, and yes, I went out there alone. It was my eight or ninth time to visit what's arguably the prettiest...

Hi, thanks for caring guys. This has been the worst trip ever. I'm still 7 hours from my mom's house, but I just learned that one of my best friends died of a heart attack at 41 years of age. She was super healthy from what I knew. I haven't been able to get DJI all the info they need yet. Their...

Thanks, that's good to know. I live in Reno. If / when I have another drone, I'll def get that insurance policy. Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots

"The OP's home point shows an elevation of 1814 feet. The point of (presumed) impact shows 2242 ft (give or take a few depending on where on the hill it tried to pass). Difference: 428 feet. That sucks." Dang, that really bums me out.

"I know it isnt legal, but why not just set you max altitude to like 800 feet and be aware when your flying not to go above 400." I'm a total noob, but I thought it would go around the mountain. My home spot was probably the lowest part of the area, kind of down in the bottom of a flat valley.

"Turn off O/A, What is O/A?" It's object avoidance, and I'm pretty sure that I had it turned on. At least it was on when I first started flying it, and I never turned it off.

It was about 40 degrees at ground level, probably a bit colder up at 400 feet. Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots
