Owning the DJI Mavic Pro - Helpful Insights 

Ed Ricker Vlogs informative video but the refresh plan doesn't cover a lost drone as you said in the video. Only non water damaged where you have the majority of the parts intact.

Ed Ricker Vlogs but hI have already bought my Mavic Pro and the Care plan lol. You have made a good video clip, looking forward to seeing more:)

Great video Ed! Thanks!!

Ed Ricker Vlogs Nice info, thanks

ThePROFESS10NAL your so right. I thought he was gonna be a typical RU-vidr with the fake voice. It's refreshing to see someone who knows what they're doing..👍👍👍

Thanks, I actually did a few days after I made this video. Good advice. Thanks!

Green Silver how often would you change the propellers?

Nero Fiorano Change propellers if there is any doubt.

Nero Fiorano I'd probably change them when they start becoming loose on the blade hinges or if there is a crack or a chip.

I second that. better change the props. for so many reasons.

No prob, thanks for watching!

You could also try Do Not Disturb, that works just as good but it won't save your battery as much

Yeah I always try to wear a mic for videos like this...thanks for noticing and for watching! Good suggestions, I'll add them to my idea list.

Thanks! Glad everything turned out well for you

Thanks for watching Mike! How do you like the Mavic in comparison with the Inspire?

Awesome, glad to help! I'm sure the Mavic would be great for your uses.

Definitely, it's important! Thanks for watching

Thanks for watching Chad!

Good luck, thanks for watching!

Thanks! I appreciate it, thanks for the subscribe.

Thanks! I try to make it interesting :D Thanks for watching!

Thanks!

Haha thanks man

haha thanks, it's definitely an awesome drone!

Hey Eden, good ideas there. Yeah, it's made me nervous a few times when I had it about 3000 feet away and it lost connection behind some buildings/hills, but a nice 250 foot return to home brought it back lovely. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the feedback! Glad I was of help.

No prob, sorry to hear about your issues. Thanks for watching!

Haha thanks!

Hey Luis, thanks for the comment. It appears that the FAA registration is a unique code for each drone. So yes, it links the drone to the owner, and I have the paper certificate in my wallet that includes my name and other info, but it doesn't necessarily link the drone to the current pilot. I see the actual cert number as identifying the drone first and foremost. Who owns it is only part of the puzzle...the cert number also determines if the drone was registered as a hobbyist or a commercial drone which may affect the way any given incident may be approached by the FAA, especially where the drone might be found or where it was seen flying last before a crash or other unfortunate incident. The cert number also doesn't link the drone to the pilot that was actually flying the drone at the time...could be anybody at the controls. Couple that with the fact that the $5 fee is not a one-time fee for the owner but rather a $5 fee for each drone. To fly commercially as a sUAS pilot, you need to be certified by the FAA as a person after completing the FAA Aeronautical Knowledge test and getting vetted by the TSA...so that's where the individual pilot certification comes in. Is that what you are referring to? Drone registration and pilot registration are two different things, and I only refer to drone registration in the video.

Ed Ricker Vlogs. Ed, all I find is one registration number per operator. That number is applied to all drones >0.55 lbs and less than 55 lbs. Do you have a link to the law where it says otherwise?

The drone registration website at registermyuas.faa.gov mentions only drone registration. Upon logging in, there's a literal inventory of the drones with their certs. Clicking on a cert number brings up the Small UAS Certificate of Registration with the dates of validation (3 years for each drone). Nowhere on the page, in the registration forms, or on the certificate of registration is there mention of a pilot/operator at all. What you've mentioned so far all relates to a certified remote commercial pilot with the FAA which is not the same as the certification number that I placed in my drone in the video.

Hey Luis, I owe you an apology. I was researching this again for another commenter and found this: At www.faa.gov/uas/faqs it says: "What is the difference between registering a UAS flown for fun vs. UAS flown for work or business? If you fly your UAS for hobby or recreational purposes and you use the web-based registration process to register your aircraft, you only need to register once and then apply your registration number to as many UAS as you want. Recreational registrants only need to provide their name, address, and email address. The $5 registration fee covers all recreational UAS owned by the registrant. Unmanned aircraft flown for work or business must be registered individually by the owner, and each registration costs $5. Registrants must supply their name, address, and email address, in addition to the make, model, and serial number (if available) for each UAS they want to fly." Since I registered my drone as a non-recreational drone, I had to go through the more in-depth process. So, neither of us are 100% right or wrong...it just depends what you registered your drone for.

No problem Ed, I was a bit confused because I could not find drone specific registrations. I think the idea is mostly to know who is flying, it doesn't matter how drones we have. I wish cars were like this too....Apology accepted. :)

Thanks for watching!

Thanks Christian, I appreciate that!

Thanks Grant! I do also know that the newer app versions have an autofocus feature that truly focuses as the drone operates. When I first got it, that wasn't possible.

Even on the newer app my autofocus still was a bit glitchy, but ever since I recalibrated it seems to have fixed it thankfully.

Hey Justin, awesome! It really is a great drone. When you choose to order, please consider ordering from the links in my video description. I get a small commission at no extra cost to you. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching, glad you've found useful info in my videos. Thanks for the sub!

Hah thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!

Same here, relate to some and learned from a few more. Great job Ed! Had mine for about a week now, but weather here and working full time makes it hard to get air time. Gotta surf youtube for other flyers to get more informed. :) So far I love this thing, but I have always been into anything RC since my first RC car 39yrs ago.

Awesome, it's definitely an amazing drone for the size and price. Good luck!

Thanks for watching!

Thanks Ronald, good advice. Done!

Good luck with your new drone once it comes! Watching videos like this will really help you hit the ground running. Thanks for watching!

Thanks Mike, I've noticed them starting to get a bit worse so I've replaced them. Better to be safe than sorry! Just for fun, check out this video of people straight up cutting the propellers off! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zw0AsEOsgZk.html

Sure does, I love it!

Good luck, thanks for watching!

Haha thanks for watching! Yeah I hope the footage gets fixed...kind of a bummer to have such grainy 60fps.

Thanks for watching!
