    Thank you all for the warm welcome back and for the clarifications on my questions - very helpful as I knew this group would be.

    RC Compatibility

    Greetings from Oregon! I am not new to the forum, but have been off the grid for some time while serving a humanitarian mission in DR Congo. I am going to Romania next and have a few questions hoping others can help with: I have the Mavic 2 Pro. It appears it is of a mass and weight as to...

    The Land of Ice & Fire (Part 7 - Dynjandifoss)

    Beautiful videos, well done. Perhaps you've referenced in a prior video, but are your videos untouched post processing? Some of the cyan colors are very striking. Thanks for sharing.

    First Time out in Anger to the Scottish Highlands, Mavic 2 Pro

So I have evaluated the required process to add on later - I certainly understand the intent behind wanting to validate that the drone is in proper working order when they issue the...

    RTH Settings

    You all are discussing and having the same thoughts I've been sorting through. Going down the mountain and keeping it manually at 400 ft agl or below isn't a problem (there are some near-100 ft tall trees to avoid); but if the rth algorithm is for the Mavic to rise straight up above the takeoff...

    RTH Settings

    Thank you, that is very helpful. Not having tried it yet, I wasn't aware the altitude would go negative. makes sense. Do I need to set a max flight altitude, or just leave that? I presume that too relates to the takeoff point, would that be correct?

    RTH Settings

    I'm new to drones with new Mavic 2 Pro. I live on a mountain, elevation 4800 ft above msl, and about 800 feet above the valley floor I'd like to fly over. I presume once I leave the mountain I need to descend to 400 ft agl. If I'm taking off from the top of my mountain, I don't quite...
