Here are some impressions from my last trip to China, all pictures were taken with the Mavic Air and the OSMO Mobile 2.

Hi all, Got my MA a little while ago and done about 74 flights. UAV reports highest altitude of 97.6m and a longest flight time of 14m08s, max speed 61.38 km/h and longest kilometrage 1,741 m. I have kept up to VLOS and been no farther than 362m. Shot some video in the Netherlands and China and...

Since I'm a noob pilot in Macau, and I feel like I must get DJI Care, would it be more convenient to buy the DJI Care from China or Hong Kong. The difference is that if I buy it in China I have to ship it to China if I crash the drone, which would be cheaper, but in Hong Kong it's much easier to...

I am in China and will try to fly my drone in a remote area soon. I have followed the instructions at this link. You Now Have to Register Your Drone in China, Here's How Most of it works althrough there are some subtle differences already in the form (i don't get asked about the multirotor...

There are several threads about the DJI Assistant 2 software being flagged--by several different virus scanners--as infected. (That concern is largely countered with "Norton sucks!", "False positive!", "They're working on it.", and similar arguments.) But in these times, what would be the...

Most Macanese drone pilots should know that in Macau if you don't have a special license it isn't legal to fly above 30m (98.5 ft). Is there any problem if someone flies above the limit (50m for example)? I'm a beginner with the "luck" of living in a place where drone rules are very strict...

On my way to the Maldives and have a 19-hour Layover in China. Will I have any issues with my drone during my layover in China?

On a recent trip, I saw China and fell in love with Yunnan Province. My wife and I had no idea how to get around so we took each day as it came. We ended up on some pretty long hikes and bus rides, but it all was worth it. Tell me if you know some of the locations :D I'll be editing a few...

Hi Mavic pilots, after several months not flying I finally had the chance to use the Mavic during my trip to Taiwan in June. Hope you like the video. Of course I am open for any kind of comments and criticism, thats what the forum is made for :D Greetings from Germany, Dom

Enjoy this travel video on our adventure sailing on the Yangtze River, from Chongquing to Yichang, China. I haven't seen very many drone flights and video captures on the this river. Being on a cruise ship and seeing a different side of china was unbelievable and truly magical. The Yangtze River...

Are foreigners allowed to bring drones to China and to fly them? There were several reports that since June 1st, 2017 drone registration is compulsory in China. How does this new rule affect foreigners? How and where can drones be registered? Is it possible without a Chinese ID? I was not...

Dear Mavic Pilots all over the world, I'm thinking about buying my first drone when I'm going to visit a friend in China in August. I read that DJI products are cheaper in China, but I'd like to know how much and where to buy. Should I just order it online and let it be delivered to my friend...

As I be heading to Beijing soon (where I be for the foreseeable future) I thought I give it a headstart and see if there are any Beijing or China based pilots out there, that like to share ideas, thoughts and information for flying and aerial photography in China. Happy to meetup too of course.

I am currently in Beijing and yesterday climbed about 6km in a remote location of the Great Wall of China. In the morning before heading out I download the latest firmware update. I tried to fly in 4 different locations and got NFZ as soon as GPS locked on. So was unable to fly. If I could have...

Anyone else from Shanghai also flies the Mavic Pro drone? Where do you fly?

Hi guys, I will be traveling to China in March and Russia in April with my mavic Pro. I know that both countries have laws similar to the US especially Russia where the Drone has to be registered but is it for locals as well as tourists? I just do not wanted to be confiscated because I did not...

First (real) drone. Got it after 1.5-month wait. Still have to plan a trip out of the city to try it out (Beijing has an infamous 30km radius no-fly zone over the whole city :P)

Hello! Shout out to any Beijingers in the forum.... any tips on nice places easy to reach around Beijing, out of our ridiculous no-fly zone, that you can recommend? Thanks!! Daniel

Nope, Im not talking about nuclear warfare but in Settings. In the USA do we need to enable; Use Amap Imagery (for China Mainland) and Calibrate Map for China Mainland? What is that about?
