    Flying Mavic with controller ONLY?

    I recently did something pretty dumb, lost my Mavic. :mad::mad: I don't think I will be able to get it back, but have to ask anyway. I was flying it with just the remote controller since my iPhone was dead. It flew away and never came back. My question is there any way to get the GPS from the...

    MavicPro GPS Accuracy?

    Mavic Pro GPS accuracy is amazing . . I'm not an expert in image manipulation but I took 2 hand held photos before and after a 25 min flight out to about 800m max distance and all over the harbour in Sarnia yesterday.
