    Mavic 2 Pro & Zoom

    Nice set. If I didn’t already have 2 Pro’s and 2 Zooms, I’d be tempted.

    How much should I start to charge clients?

    That would be a Mavic 2 Pro, not a Mavic Pro 2.

    Home point not there at times

    I realize now how many reasons there are NOT to start the drone as I take it out of the case. I always watch for metal (even underground) when I set the landing pad but didn’t think about the cart. I have not been prompted to do a calibration though.

    Home point not there at times

    I’ll have to test that. I always thought that home Point was set when you started the motors, but it would explain 2 recent home point misses my drone had. I’ve been documenting a golf course reconstruction project, which requires me to move around on my golf cart to various locations on the...

    Dji compliant checklist shows 2 areas to check for the RID is working?

    I fly a Mavic 2 Pro every day using a smart controller and I’ve never seen (or at least never noticed) the aircraft status page you show in the first picture. I will look to see if it’s available. I updated the Mavics (I have Pro and Zoom) for RID but have never tried to see if it’s functioning...

    Hi Let’s Fly, I notice that you’re located near me in Stuart (although a couple years younger!) Any favorite spots to fly around here?

    Hi SJB, I fly in Stuart mostly and wonder where you fly and if you have any good spots for photography. Thanks, Bob

    Photo Import

    Did you ever get this straightened out? I had a different importing (into Photos) issue this morning and noticed your thread as I searched for answers.

    New Date and Time problem importing into Photos app

    I know that there have been date and time problems over the years with the Mavic 2 and Smart Controller, but I haven't seen this one discussed. This morning I flew for about 20 minutes, taking both photos and videos. It all occurred during one flight, and the aircraft was never powered down...

    Gross negligence in South Florida

    That’s an awful piece of spelling😂

    Hi Dale, I enjoyed the video (which I just stumbled on tonight 5/5/24). In one scene, i thought you were pretty gutsy flying backward next to some old sailing vessels with tall masts and rigging, and then I thought maybe you reversed the video in post. That’s when I noticed the cars on the...

    Remote ID (RID) Basics for All Pilots-FAA Webinar

    Yes, but it wasn’t very illuminating. I’m surprised it qualifies for Wings credit.

    Remote ID - Mini 3 Pro, EU

    I just checked my drones’ registrations on faadronezone and my Mini 3 Pro has a serial number beginning with 1581F which means RID is onboard. I had to manually change the S/N’s of my Mavic 2’s on the registration page by adding the 1581F prefix (and 0 at the end if I remember correctly) after...

    Aloft LAANC vs DJI FLY

    I don’t pretend to know anything about non-US citizen access. I’m sure that’s well covered elsewhere. But aside from that, there are two aspects to flying here - is it legal (do you have proper permission from gov’t entities) and 2) is it possible to take off given DJI geofencing. These are two...
