If it's the same as my M2P, I don't see what the problem is. Everyone grumbles about it but it's a snack to replace...

I'm with you Checki. It's just not that difficult. No way would I leave it off - the camera and gimbal are very delicate.

Hi Be aware the M2Pro does NOT have a zoom. The M2Zoom has a zoom lens. The M2Pro has a Hasselblad camera with a larger 1" sensor.

Thanks! This is what this forum is all about. Good helpful ideas and advice.

I used to dive. Can't imagine breathing WD40!!!

1/500 will be why. The panning was a bit jittery. Anything faster than 2 x frame rate will reduce the motion blur needed to keep it smooth to the human eye. I signed up (and completed) an ariel cinematography course with Drone Film Guide and learned a heap. I have a full set of ND and...

Man, that's awesome. The geometry of the rows is spectacular. Helps as mentioned in this thread with the leading lines. Especially loved the overhead rotate early in the piece. Some questions... Please, please...no criticism meant, but I notice the video is jittery. I have the same problem. What...

I busted up my M2P by 'landing' in a tree. Damaged the speed controller in one of the arms. DJI replaced the whole drone for A$179 including postage both ways. Can't hope for better than that.

Same deal with padlocks. Never use WD40. It just gums up the dust. I've had a little puffer bottle of graphite powder for 40 years and it's still 3/4 full!!! Not the right tool for your gimbal though...just saying. Good luck.

I tried that but the PVC is too flexible if you can't get right under. Mine was in a bushy gum tree and I had to 'build' the pole as I went to get it through the other branches.

Hi Steve I did exactly the same on my property with my brand new M2P. Stuck 11m up - a long way. I used VERY light aluminium poles from a portable shade gazebo. Anything else I tried was too heavy and "fishing poled". My problem was lots of lower branches so the pole has to be assembled bit by...

Love your moniker. I had a 1400GTR.

Arrghh yes scary for us who also fly fixed wing.

Wow, nice shots.

The There's no such thing as a partially broken prop. It is broken or not. Hard to imagine trying to save such little money at the risk of your drone. If you can afford the drone, you can afford a prop.
