Who's flying a DJI MAVEC DRONE when sledding?

Judging by that house you're not

or maybe you are because of it

Ya, I am PROFOUNDLY fortunate to live in this house.
There is a long story behind it, but suffice it to say I only had to pay for HALF of it.



Otherwise there is NO WAY I could afford this with what I make!!

This was my first attempt at a vid with the Mavic. I put it together with the app right on my phone that night (and it shows l suppose). Editing is a PITA. I wish l could pawn it off on someone lol.

I just put the drone loose in my pack and the batteries & remote in my inside pocket.

For those who have used one, How well does it track when in tracking mode- say a climbing sled? Or is the sled too fast, elevation rise to quickly?

I don’t think it will track a climbing sled.

I have not had much success with the tracking mode except when travel on level ground at a fairly steady speed.

It does better when tracking from the side and poorly from behind.

OK Boys, SCHOOL ME.
I have NEVER flown a drone.


What accessories should I be ordering to get this bad boy ready for action.


I bought the Mavec with the FLY MORE kit and thats it.

Extra propellers if you don't have 'em yet.

Have you found that you burned through a LOT of them?


I have FOUR spare props.
2 Black
2 White

No only cracked two when I flew a little to close to a tree. It happened on the first day of a week long trip in the middle of nowhere Arkansas. I was really bummed because I planned on doing a lot of playing with it.

Props are CHEAP.
I will get a few more!

These Mavic drones are awesome, we have four of them at work and the guys love them!!

I haven't flown my mavic zoom much yet. Not even enough to really know what I'm doing actually. But... last Sunday for a laugh, I tied a Coors delight to it and flew it over a mile across a corn field to my buddies front door... Not it's intended purpose I am sure, but it's pretty funny when they open their door and a beer is hovering shoulder high. I think its going to be great to have along this winter as long as the batteries hold up to the cold
