    3 Dinner Key Marina, Coconut Grove (Miami) Florida at sunrise

    Wow. I used to live in Coconut Grove back in the 80's...doesn't look like a sleepy little artsy-fartsy community anymore.

    RTH accuracy.

    Not sure about the Air3S, but on my original MP, in order for precision landing to work, when taking off you must go straight up to a height of at least 10 meters with no lateral movement. The allows the craft to get a "picture" of the landing spot. I can consistently land almost exactly where...

    Just Crashed my Mavic 3 Into the Ocean

    I have successfully used the "rice". Years ago I had an HTC phone that went through all the cycles of a clothes washing machine. (not salt water) I was going to toss it, but wife suggested the rice, so I threw it in a ziplok with minute rice (it was all that we had). At the time I had an...

    Mavic Pro 1 in 2024

    I still fly my MP...7 years old and still going strong. Its still on FW version 01.04.0000 which has limited restrictions, and works great with Litchi.

    Mavic pro question

    I still use 01.04.0000, I never upgraded. When I did use DJI software (now I use Litchi), it was DJI GO4 App 4.1.15...I had no problems.

    Mavic pro question

    If I understand this problem, you have tried multiple cables and multiple phones and still cannot get phone connected to the RC. Maybe something wrong with your RC. Are you the original owner? Have you EVER been able to connect phone to RC successfully, or is this a new issue....

    Keep my MPro, or buy used

    I still have my MPRO1 that I purchased in 2017 + 2 batteries. Like you, I do not fly very frequently, so every once in a while I will test the batteries by charging them fully, and then monitor them closely in a low hover. I have actually not seen much performance deterioration in them. Your...

    We will be flying my mavic pro For the first time after six years.

    3 days since your post...but I just saw it. I assume you flew it already? Curious, if you had to (or did) do any FW update?

    CHECK YOUR PROPS. I learned my lesson today. Also, those "crashed/lost" drone alarm beacons come in handy after a crash.

    I was going to fly my 2017 vintage MP1 today, so I thought I'd dust it off first. (Literally. It's been sitting on my dresser for 4 months or so since I've flown it LAST, so it was pretty dusty). Anyway, I noticed this crack on the trailing edge of one of the props. NEVER HAVE I CRASHED OR...

    Original Mavic Pro - auto control of the camera pointing?

    You can do all of this with Litchi.

    Anyone familiar with Mazon, IL area?

    There is a park/boat launch underneath the Hwy 47 bridge going across the river in Morris. I think the river runs pretty much east-west at that location there...might be good sunrise shots

    Crash your Drone? In the WATER? Hers an easy fix.

    Anecdotal evidence here. Many moons ago my HTC phone went through an entire cycle in my washing machine....wash, rinse, spin...the whole deal. 1 week in a ziploc bag of rice worked...phone was good as new.
