    Completely submerged! Drone survived.

    Was messing about with the drone today and as the battery got lower decided to do some low shots of a fountain. Battery was extremely low; I remember seeing just over a minute flight time left but was flying maybe 1.5m high and about 10m away from me so no drama. I dont know what happened...

    Water Recovery System Test

    This is a vid of a system I came up with using WaterBuoy and a bracket for the Mav Pro. I made a mockup for the test, didn't quite go as planned but still went good enough for me to use it over water. Wish I had it on my first loss!!! Bolton

    Cleared for NFZ over lake, then "Will auto land in 19 secs!"

    I received clearance to operate in a No Fly Zone that included a lake where I was going to video some rowers. No problem starting and taking-off, and following a scull for a minute or two out in the lake. Then the controller beeped and displayed a message that I was in a NFZ, and the Mavic...

    Mavic Pro Battery drain and crashed into the ocean - lost

    Hello forum! I was flying my mavic pro over the water (ocean) yesterday and it was around 1km from "home" with more then 30% battery. I've pressed the "return home" option and suddenly the percentage started dropping 1-2% every 10 seconds. The drone became unresponsive, I couldn't control it...

    Frozen by Mavic Pro

    Frozen, yes me and the water but I think it was worth it. Might be the last footage from my Mavic Pro for a while as it is now giving me a gimbal overload message... Hope you enjoy.

    Saving a RTH point

    My goal is to ultimately video boats moving through the water. I realize the RTH point needs to be on solid ground. I've looked everywhere and cannot find an answer to this: can a RTH point be saved, like a way-point ? If I'm out on the water and need to change batteries then I'd need to...

    Drone submerged in the lake

    Hi there, I'm new to the forum. My drone was down and I want to seek some advise on: 1) how come the auto RTB (and warning) did not function and gave me sufficient warning on returning earlier? 2) how do I go about the replacement drone (I still have the remote controller)? Neither the Mavic...

    Flying over water or in high wind?

    Check out how my mavic preformed in some high winds flight and way out over water . The shot with the volcano caldera was about 2 .5 to 3 miles out . It always surprises me how close things look because they are large but in reality they are far!
