    Waypoints and obstacle avoidance. Duh, learning.

    Ah that makes more sense to me. Thanx for the clarification. I had interpreted your post to mean that you'd received an obstacle alarm from your computer or controller while programming your waypoints prior to the flight.

    Waypoints and obstacle avoidance. Duh, learning.

    Thanks for the post, Jim. Could you please amplify on what you mean by 'obstacle alarm while setting the waypoint'. That doesn't ring any bells for me. Cheers!

    Zoom In/Out vs Focal Length

    In other words, the amount of pixels in the camera is the deciding factor. What can be done with a digital zoom in the camera can be done in post processing with cropping.

    Aircraft Disconnected message. What happened?

    Hi and thanks for your feedback. I'm using the DJI Smart Controller, and yes, it was working fine. I'm not terribly smart when it comes to apps, so I'm not clear on what you mean by "try restarting the GO4 app". How would I do that within the controller during flight please? The startup message...

    Aircraft Disconnected message. What happened?

    Hi everyone. While recently flying my Mavic 2 Pro, I experienced a malfunction that I'm having difficulty explaining. Highlighting the series of events was a screen that froze with the last recorded image in black and white, and there it stayed for the rest of the flight. Although the system...

    Thanx kindly for taking the time to try to help me, Marty. Unfortunately, my computer just doesn't recognize my USB connection. It's a new power/data cable and it's providing a charge, but no data. I'm thinking I might have a controller setting that needs adjustment, or who knows? ... maybe the...

    Unable to establish communication between controller and WIN11 desktop

    Hi everyone. When I use a data/charger cable with USB A to USB C between my Win 11 desktop and my DJI Smart Controller, I'm unable to make a connection. i.e. the controller doesn't show up in my 'Devices and drives' window amongst the other drives. This has been a deterioration over time in...

    Does a drone fly a heading or track?

    Hey Brett. That's really interesting. Thanx for your well written response. Could you please tell me if you know of a reference from which I could read up on what controls what. I believe you've pretty much confirmed what I'd suspected, but I'd sure like to learn more about the why's. Cheers!
