newbie

I'm new to the hobby, going to do commercial work when I get more experience. I am looking for great places to fly around northern Illinois. I would like to try along Lake Michigan. Right now I need the flight time... I brought my Drone to Arizona for a week and found it either too hot to fly or...

Well, I have had my Mavic Air about a month all in now, and doing my best to get out with it at every opportunity. Unfortunately with the weather over the last few weeks that's not actually that much.(About 2 and a half hours total flying time) Nonetheless I have learned a few things. My...

Hi my name is Larx, I just bought Mavic Air last week. I'm totally newbie, it's my first drone :) Hoping to learn a lot of technique, tips and trick. Thank you.

Hi all from West by god Virginia, New to drones, but Im pretty clutch at piloting the heli on GTA. Got a Mavic PP and a gang of batteries last week. Using a mini4 iPad cellular for screen and its badass. Mainly looking to use filming action sports, rafting, skiing, boating, travel. Snagged a...

Good evening, my name is Moe and I have Got the Drone bug, looked at several others and am settling on purchasing the Mavic Pro Platinum in a couple weeks. The $100 difference from the MP makes it logical to get the MPP. I am in San Diego, Ca. (Otay Ranch area) and hopefully can find some other...

Please forgive me in advance, as I know I can search the forums and find the answers. However, my adult A.D.D. desires a quick, one-click reference guide as my go to. Your answers will help out a dude. Data, data and more data!!! What, where, when, how and why? Note: I record in 2.7 since I...

Hello, as a noob, i powered on the Mavic Pro without removing the gimbal lock but i realized it soon enough, so during the startup sequence i quickly lifted the drone and removed it, the gimbal did its usual mumbo jumbo and aligned properly. I tried it afterwards and it seems fine, but i have...

Hi all, new Mavic Pro Platinum pilot, got my drone delivered last Friday. Played with it (very tentatively) on Saturday a few flights but too windy the rest of the week to get out much. I think I'm going to struggle to find places in the city to fly that are either: a) not too busy or b) low on...

Hi Guys, I've got a pre order in for the MPP upgrading from a P3A. There seems to be a few newbies like me coming to the Mavic party with this model so was wondering if you seasoned flyers could give us some pointers and advice on things like good websites to check out, good you tube channels...

Folks, Any help answering these questions would be appreciated. 1) Where the hell can I fly? I've flown my new Mavic Pro a total of three times. Each time I'm nervous as hell. Not for the fact that the only thing between me and a $1000 investment is gravity and 98 feet (beginner mode), but...

Pilot Check In from Texas. I have been watching this drone since it came out. I'm a new pilot, new photographer, new videographer and new producer. This is a lot of new skills I will be trying to learn at one time. I'm very excited to be apart of a forum where I know i'll get the help I need.

Just bought my Mavic yesterday. My first drone! Here from the heat of Vegas and don't think of getting a chance of flying it that much because of over 100-degree weather

Just got my Mavic Pro with Fly More Combo yesterday. So excited! I've been on the fence about getting one (drone/quad copter) until the other day when a friend asked me to help them set up and fly their new Karma Drone. I was hooked. And after much research and analysis, I settled on the Mavic...

Greetings from Singapore!!! Just got my Mavic Pro last week and just activated it. Still learning the basic, hopeful I could get great shots with it along with my DJI Osmo and Mobile. Good luck to me!!!

Hi everybody! I can't explain how THRILLED I am that my new Mavic Pro is on the way! After cutting my teeth on a little SYMA X5SC for a year, (stop snickering)... I'm ready to take the plunge. THANK YOU in advance for being a wealth of knowledge for me to tap into. Hours of youtube and forum...

Hi guys, After reviewing several videos I've done in the recent trip, I noticed there is a weird issue, please refer to a link below. It started from 27th Sec. I'm much appreciated your opinions.

Still not flown my new Mavic but if the range of flying with phone wi fi is max 80m and controller flying is circa 4.3km, does one fly by controller for distances beyond 80 metres and blindly operate camera button, or can one still see what camera sees at these distances?

Hey Everyone! I'm Nash, I'm 19, and I've recently bought a Mavic Pro. It's really nice to meet people with same interests so I'll briefly introduce myself and my "drone history": I've always been really into RC helicopters and planes in general, but it's only been a little over a year since I...
