    Bad idea to buy Mavic 3 classic in 2024?

    Bobby, I feel there are a majority of drone pilots out there flying the Air 2S which was introduced April 2021 and are getting all they want and more from this 3 year old drone. What is it that you want from the latest drones? I feel that no matter how many bells and whistles, flying...

    G.O.D. Syndrome

    She found out…now I’m in the G.O.D. Rehab Facility on the mend. By the way, is there someone out there that could order up a new Avata 2 for me? 😵‍💫 🇨🇦👍

    3 Epic visit to Evil Tooth and Needle peaks

    Alex, super flight. Evil tooth is awesome. I liked the panorama, the transverse back down, and especially the approach, and landing in the open field. ⛰️👍 🇨🇦👍

    More love for the Air 2S

    Air 2S is still my number one. In fact, I just purchased my second one two days ago and wonder why I ever sold the first one in the first place. Actually, the reason I sold the first one was to buy a Mini 3 Pro. I like the Mini 3 Pro, but I’m really glad to have an Air 2S back in the hangar...

    air2s dissapeared at 300ft during sunset

    When recording with the A2S the front lights will automatically turn off. What I like about the A2S is the landing light on the belly which is very handy for such a procedure. It can be set on the rc function button for off/on and is VERY bright at 400’. In fact, I’ve always wondered why DJI...

    Why are drones not offered in more visible colours?

    RTH? Just start over again. When I come across drone pilots flying, their eyes are glued to their monitors / iPhones, and if asked to point out exactly where the drone is visibly…not a chance. With close proximity flying where the drone is 50 meters away and possibly accompanied by the...

    What is “too windy” for you?

    Good choice if the wind is all over the map. Also, remember, what is 16 kph / 10 mph at ground zero could be 48 kph / 30 mph at 120 m / 400 f with the wind changing direction often. To help familiarize yourself with wind speed see what your environment is telling you. The Beaufort Scale of Wind...

    Mini 4 Vratcata pass under clouds

    Nice one Alex. Mini 4 does a nice job. Again, some very interesting geography with the clouds giving the video that extra artistry. 👍🇨🇦

    Why did my Mini 4 Pro crash?

    May have been a bird strike🧐 👍 🇨🇦

    Landing on a rocking boat with the new software upgrade Mini4pro

    Dronerock, if you have an assistant …great👍. Otherwise, the sea, the wind, the size of the boat, and the boats status…stopped or still moving all factor in to a safe /secure landing. Yes, disable object avoidance if you’re able. I tried it last summer out on the Pacific Coast and I felt I...

    Soldering skills (not mine!)

    I’ve done two leg replacements on some crashed Mini 2’s and these tiny boards are not easy to work on. Besides the rerouting of the wiring and the re assembly of the body after, it is then you test your repair with fingers crossed 🤞. The job in the pic isn’t pretty, but if it works after a...
