    Time to buy, could use experienced help from you!

    Thanks for the information. The complete setup is now listed in the classifieds and I will not be attempting to fly it until it sells strictly out of good faith measures for the sale. It's in mint condition, so I intend to keep it that way in its case :)

    Says something like 'Cannot Fly - No Fly Zone' - Then allows me to request permission and asks me 3 questions of which I have to check the boxes, and on 2 occassions I was able to take off, but on 10 occassions, I just kept trying to get it to let me fly and it wouldn't. The airport in question...

    Smart Controller charging

    This was my experience as well, I was certain something was wrong the first time I charged it!

    Well, I bought the whole shabang and ultimately found that I can't fly out of my home (I'm an idiot on a few different levels here), which limits my ability to use it...and this last weekend, while hosting a garage sale with the Mrs. we both decided at about the exact same time that we both want...

    You all are so great! So often forums offer "I own this, so you should too, welcome to the forum". You guys and gals have been very fair to me and the platform! My hope...prayer is that this is the first if many drones. That I find a passion for flying and capturing stunning photos improving...

    Thanks all, interesting bits on the OS for the SC.... I think we will agree to disagree, however yes, I agree Google Play will likely never come, but that wasn't where I was going... Anyways, thanks all, my decision was made and partly due to your help! Thanks so much for your time!

    Its human nature to lean towards what we already have. We find the nuances, do our best to perfect our usage while avoiding as many as possible, then find peace and comfort. I don't like change, and I don't like buying something twice. My research suggests the current available features via...

    Looks like I've made a best friend....or enemy if my course of action is poor :) Thanks for your response, I plan to do exactly what you've suggested. I'm very thankful I didn't get a lot of zoom consideration...however I just realized I posted this in the Mavic Pro sub forum! Haha. I guess...

    It sounds apparent there are different strokes for different folks, but nobody has spoke against the Pro in relation to the Zoom. So that handles the big/expensive decision. The SC decision was made comfortably....so I guess now it simply comes down to getting extra batteries alone or in the...

    Such an easing response! Thank you! To hear/know that the default camera settings are 'great' is a large part of my puzzle of Zoom vs Pro. I probably could have saved everyone a lot of reading by simply asking that question Haha. I've played with basic DSLR camera settings and although my...

    Thank you kindly for the warm welcome! I'll elaborate as much as I can for as green as I am. A lot of my decisions previously mentioned are personal preference and more to do with knowing 'me' than knowing the drone world. I am far from wealthy, but I don't buy things twice and I don't like...

    Hello all, First post of what I'd imagine will be plenty. I drooled over the original Phantom, but found myself unable/unwilling to learn how to fly in that snapshot of time in my life (new wife, kid, first house, etc). Fast forward to today, and I've been OCD obsessed with the Mavic 2. I...
