This compact and foldable DJI Mavic Pro camera drone has a 7km transmission range thanks to its FCC-compliant remote controller.
Fly Responsibly:
Before takeoff, update all software and firmware, and read the instructions thoroughly.
See the FAA website for registration requirements and information about flying a drone safely: https://www.faa.gov/uas/getting_started/. Additional state or local requirements may apply. Check your local jurisdiction. The following websites may help you make informed decisions about flying your drone: www.knowbeforeyoufly.org and www.modelaircraft.org.
Q: can i bring the packed drone when boarding a flight?
A: Yes, you should remove the battery from the Mavic and place it and your other spare batteries each in a lipo safe battery bag. I put data stickers on each battery and bag identifying the voltage and milliamperes indicating that the batteries are under 100wh each and safe to be carried on the airline and not in checked baggage. I do inform TSA that I have acceptable low wattage lithium batteries in protective battery bags with taped connector tabs in my carry on bag or case. I have not have my batteries denied for airline carry on travel in the USA on 8 flights in the last year.
Q: will an Iphone fit in the controller while using a Lifeproof case?
A: No. I have the otter box commuter and have to take the car off. Your better off buying a iPad mini. I had a iPad min 2 that I use for the mavic.
A: Yes, the basic package comes with the controller, one battery, battery charger and Mavic Pro... the fly more combo is the one with extra batteries, carry case etc...
Q: If the DJI flies beyond 1000 feet from the operator, what happens? Does is automatically come back?
A: You can configure the range of distance in the return home feature to whatever you want the max distance to be. The Mavic pro can fly much further than 1000' from the controller/operator. If the drone loses signal during flight, it can automatically return to the point of take off.
Q: How long is flight time per charge? How long to recharge?
A: The battery life is 27 minutes.
Q: does it float, what if I am flying over water, Can it crash and I lose it?
A: Buy it, then goto a State Farm insurance agent (not valid in CA). Tell them you want a Drone policy. Will cost $30 for a year, covers EVERYTHING, just bring your receipt. You dont need to have any other policy with them.
Q: When will you restock on the Dji Mavic pro
A: I suggest you check bestbuy website every hour lol. Atleast that's what i did for about 4 days. I was able to catch it at 7AM CST yesterday. I had it shipped one day delivery! Since it was a Sunday so it will deliver tomorrow. Excited :)
A: Yes it is fairly easy to fly - but I strongly recommend watching several YouTube videos on how to prepare your drone for the first flight, how to fly the drone (with the controller) and how to update the software before flying your drone for the first time!
