    Phantom 4 or Mavic Pro for real estate footage

    Not sure if you are asking me because you didn't quote anyone but I have aftermarket prop guards and they do not cause any problems with collision detection. I have over 100 flights this way. I recently felt comfortable enough with my flying skills that I no longer use them or the collision...

    After Market or OEM Battery?

    The fact that you have to state it is not a hijack proves this is 100% a hijack. Your post has nothing of value to his question. Go find a P4 vs Mavik thread to post in.

    Took some video of dolphins at Panama City Beach this week

    Believe me, I looked for sharks every day and couldn't find any (probabaky a good thing!!!). I was disappointed that I only was able to film wildlife on one occasion. I may have seen a turtle once but was too high to identify it.

    Took some video of dolphins at Panama City Beach this week

    first time flying over water and no issues at all. Flew in P mode with OA off for more speed. Took about 20 flights. Varied height from 70ft to 400ft. Had to hand catch a few times to not stir up the sand. Video is unedited and kind of long. Height from 70ft to 300ft and up to about...

    Mavic Release Discussion

    Many are talking about the long battery life. If I am not mistaken it is listed at 1 minute better than the P4. If it actually gets 38 minutes like claimed that would be awesome. I think the P4 is a claimed 27 min. I am at 30% and returning home at 16-17 min tops. Maybe if I let it all...

    Mavic Release Discussion

    I bought a P4 2 months ago. Things I like better about the P4: Higher off the ground when landing - especially in sand or dirt. Faster Ability to use a tablet That said, I will likely pick one up a few months after it is released.

    Loading maps

    Thanks. Is there something special I need to do to cache them? I have been to the same location 3 times and have to keep loading the maps by connecting to my phone hot spot.

    Loading maps

    I had an iPad mini 4 cellular but never activated cellular data. I always had maps load wherever I went. I returned it for an iPad Pro 9.7 cellular and also did not activate a cellular plan. My maps never load in DGI. The only way to get a map to load is to connect to my cell phone until...

    Need "OverWater" advice....

    I have flown over a few small ponds/lakes from about 300ft. Taking the P4 to the beach next month and plan to fly over the water. I am planning on saying at least 50ft high at all times.

    Leaving P4 Props on? Bad or fine?

    I leave mine on as I don't store the phantom in the case most of the time.
