    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...

    Handling the gimbal - question

    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...

    Hey from Toronto, Canada

    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...

    Newbie needs expert advice

    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...

    Newbie from the Midwest (Missouri)

    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...

    Controller screen v phone screen

    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?
