    Getting in trouble with the law

    I would totally stay away from US National Parks when flying. Due to Team Black Sheep’s super belligerent attitude and legal actions towards Park Service rangers several years ago, rangers today are very sensitive to any RC activity. It’s a small community and they share information.

    Is this it? The new mavic Jan 23?

    If DJI is listening - PLEASE give us a better camera and video quality in the MP form factor.

    Is everyone upgrading to the Platinum props?

    Just a note that when the new platinum props are installed, the Mavic doesn't fit comfortably in the Smatree SmaCase D500 (http://amzn.to/2A7qarv). You can force the Mavic in it's cavity, but it's too snug and not easy and I don't like the idea of putting extra stress on the quad during...

    Anything I got would need a better camera - I'm so tired of the grainy, noisy, blotchy video on the Mavic. Even my GoPro1 takes better quality video. I'd like to spend a lot more time flying and a lot less time in post rather than the other way around.

    Losing patience with mavic

    I have to totally agree with the OP here - I love my Mavic, but hate the video it captures. I've had mine now about 2 months and have 150 flights and about 38 hours of flight time in, most of it spent trying to tweak video, looking for reasonable results. For the life of me, in any settings, I...

    Orbit Missions Litchi

    I'd love to know this too. I'd wish we could edit Orbit Missions from Mission Hub.
