    Unlocking NFZ. (What does "Disconnected" mean?)

    After updating my Mavic Pro, I cannot fly from my home anymore. I went through the unlocking procedure and verified the license. But in the controller I'm seeing a "disconnected" message. Every thing is connceted though. What gives?

    Battery swelling?

    Stupid me. I thought there was some website. Not thinking that the App displays the production info.

    Battery swelling?

    as reported in GO 4, of 2018.08 and earlier. What is GO 4? and where do you find the production date? I have 3 batteries and one is now bulging. I think I'm going to have to toss it, as it can easily pop off the Mavic.

    Mavic Air Crash video turns out GREAT!

    Maybe this guy was trying to make a movie. Anybody notice the resemblance to the Twilight Zone episode where the old lady finds the Astronauts on her roof?

    DIY landing/storage pad

    And it looks like it will fit into just about any backpack! I mean, why would one want to buy a drone that has folding wings when you can fit a Phantom 4 AND my cowboy hat in that one case. Plus I can get in some exercise on the floor mats when I'm doing yoga while flying. hahaha.

    Temporary No Fly Zone

    Here's what happens. I tried to fly (in my garage) when the Blue Angels were performing. Your United Nations Ban was due to Trump. He has a multi-mile zone around him at all times.

    Who has flown their maiden flight

    I think a lesson learned is NOT to fly at the altittude of power lines. If you had been 2 feet above or below, then it might have not crashed.

    Who has flown their maiden flight

    Here are some practice shots to show what works and what doesn't as far as backgrounds with dolly zooms. Uh- am I missing something or does each shot end when DJI's software wants it to end? How do I keep shooting either before or after the effect? The first shot looking straight down is a...

    Who has flown their maiden flight

    My first Hyperlapse. What I realized was that the effect would have been more dramatic if I was flying in the opposite direction that the clouds were moving. I used the New Mavic Zoom. The second version was some random LUT I added to make the clouds pop.
