    Backpacking with M3...

    My experience is a hip-sportcase, wearing in front of you, not on your backside! In front you can easily grab your drone, even without stopping walking. If possible for the case, carry the drone 'unfolded' in it, but with gimbal protection. But still you'll have to be patient until enough...

    Mini drifts when over water

    Hi 280, I encountered the same issue two times last week in Austria. I also wanted to fly over a fast running and rather wild creek. Preflight checks, OK, 12 satellites, but indeed, my Mini 2 also drifted away. I could save it by rapidly ascending it. In these shots the cam looked into the...

    "maximum flight distance reached", for drone only 5 meters away

    Thanks a lot again for all your hints! And - I feel your thoughts about the manual - the very first thing I did before the maiden flight of my Mini2 was studying the manual, printing it out, and highlighting things indeed. Then trying and practicing these in an open field. It's only now for me...

    "maximum flight distance reached", for drone only 5 meters away

    Yes, EyesWideShut, the drone works perfect now :) It's a tricky thing to become aware of: not the distance drone-remote counts, but the distance drone-homepoint. Now also clear, why the shown distance INcreases whn the drone flies in my direction, standing some 100m away from this HP. TOP

    "maximum flight distance reached", for drone only 5 meters away

    Oooo, I didn't think about this option, could be the reason indeed! Thank you for this hint! I'll check this, and widen my max distance (now 150 m). But I'm always bound to this last HP I think, even when I walk 2 km away from it (and had set my max distance to 5 km or so).

    "maximum flight distance reached", for drone only 5 meters away

    Hi, I'm a beginning drone flyer with the Mini 2. Until 2 days ago, the remote commands worked perfectly. But, while filming 2 walking friends of mine for about 10 minutes, the drone didn't react to the "forward" command of the left joystick. Only sideways was possible. I heard the app say...
