Just to update this, I ran a mission last night looking for wild pigs Wind was in the 10 meters per second range with gusts to 16.2 meters per second acording to the wind vector readout. Found three pigs in brush near a fence line from 90 meters up. Interesting fact is 16.2 meters per second...

When you are in DJI pilot 2, the upper left corner has a shield symbol. Tap this and the first selection upper left is, "Network security mode". Tap this and the top right has a small blue box upper right with a pull down. Tap this and three options are standard, restricted network mode...

The camera setting shown as three bar dashes, which is below the common settings shown as three dots, provides a switch labeled, "Frame Arm LEDs are off while shooting". You need to scroll down as there are several settings but the one you are after is below "Grid". Additionally, you may need...

Argos, I can answer a few of your questions: 1. Here is a sequence locating a fawn in grass and dead weeds. First image is at about 40 meters vertical above point of interest and about 60 meters horizontal. Point of interest is a hotter dot, slightly right of center in the upper third. I...

Ufo's... Seriously, if off earth entities landed in DC looking for intelligent life, they would pack up and keep moving after the first conversation.

Solid, Try turning off the camera. All lights go off after you start recording.

Make sure you have good lighting. Preferably over a surface that has patterns. Move very slow and consider using tripod mode. Be aware that the machine may switch to ATTI due to rebar in concrete or loss of light/contrast and the aircraft will require more advanced control inputs. Light...

By the Delaware river... What!? you found MORE classified documents! :)

The info provided above is correct. The battery will not charge and the AC will not take off with the USB in. It will "turn on" because that is how you download the info from the disk but the DJI rep implying that it will operate is very disingenuous. For your application you might consider...

Your English is great! I have been looking into ATAK for a while but have not integrated it into the drone yet. Here is the first search info that came up and provides a description: What is ATAK? (WITH PICTURES!) I am hoping to have the ability to integrate with a private network - not DJI...

Does this fit the thermal version as well? Do the instructions include which minimal pieces need to be installed for waterproofing? I am not looking for impact resistance or pretty colors, just keeping it dry. Thanks.

Very articulate response! If common sense is not used by individuals, it will be legislated by idiots. Look at the covid response world wide.

Prior drone experience was 2 Zoom. Wanted 24 hour operational capability with extended wind speeds as well as offline operation. So far this has exceeded my expectations. Off line mapping is excellent and includes topo maps as well as google sat image on the same download. You only have to...

While I appreciate that some info will need to be off line, I would like to get some of this knowledge shared as appropriate from those with experience. I just started my first night flights in shielded terrain and it feels like flying as a beginner again. My first comments are: the RC, even...

Yeah, I thank Russ for putting this out and the request to discuss. I just got my Mavic 3 thermal and have gone from "hard core paranoid" to something several levels up. The new zoom capabilities are hard to describe until you actually experience them. Regarding the navigable air space from...
