Yes, that's typical 20-23 min. You should never see 27 minutes for reasons you stated about not wanting to deplete it 100%.

Thought this was suitable to post. Another overweight woman with a dog and an attitude has conflict with a drone (quadcopter actually). She steals it and blames the pilots for almost hitting her when she's the one who walked 100ft towards the quad to take it! Hides it under her shirt and talks...

From what I do understand, you are supposed to be able to plug it in straight to your computer with the SD card still inside the Mavic and be able to read the data off of it. When I did that, I can see the SD card on my Finder, but wasn't able to see anything inside. Only when the card is...

Thanks for your recommendation. I ended up taking the SD card out and trying my luck at putting it one of those adapter things that turn the micro SD into a standard SD card and stuck in the computer and it worked! For whatever reason, it didn't work when I plugged it in directly to the Mavic...

I know this sounds stupid, but maybe you made the same mistake I did. I didn't connect the ipad/phone to the controller. There's no physical connection to the Mavic needed, but you do need to have your device connected to your device by a physical cable for it to read the SD card. I know. I...

True that.

We gotta know what mount you got. I got the Stent mount and this worked perfectly for me. 8" Iseason iPhone Charger,Lightning Cable 3Pack 8in High Speed Nylon Braided iPhone Cable for iPhone... | bidorbuy.co.za Unfortunately, amazon no longer sells it. This is probably not a vendor you...

@funcentric Mine covers fun toys I love messing around with. Motorized ice chests, recumbent trikes, Power wheels, stand up scooters, Razor Crazy Karts, and other stuff me and the kids can't live without including drones and quadcopters of course.

I've been recommending the Solo to new people. Particularly ones that have a GoPro already, the deal is just too good to ignore. $200 is so unbelievable. If there are any newbies, I have a drone buying guide I don't mind sharing. Just hit me up through PM and I'll send it over.

Just curious why you'd want two of anything that are exactly the same. I PM'd you the two buying guides. Have fun.

At least you had the balls to admit what happened and have a good enough sense of humor to share. Seriously though, you gotta be careful. Not just of the mavic, but of your family and their belongings too. It could've ended a lot worse. It's really important that you know how the Mavic will...

Go to meetup.com and look up the Flying Drones for Fun meetup, register, request to join and Dan will take care of you.

Not if it's the JJRC H36. $18 shipped includes 2 extra batteries from Aliexpress. She'll think it's cute. Not a true "drone" of course. Just a quad. It's a great trainer. If you can fly this thing on high rates in a living room over furniture and between people while doing flips and stuff with...

The main difference that our "neighbors" are concerned about though is us being able to view their "private" backyard (or other) space live as opposed to the google maps which are just snapshots.

If the Mavic is your first drone and you've never flown any other RC aircraft, I recommend you go to Aliexpress and order the JJRC H36 ASAP and fly it indoors to get used to orientation of flying, banking, and just maneuvering in general. You won't regret having spent the $18 to include 2 extra...
