    Charging MVP2 Batteries in Car

    Not a good idea to charge with the car off. You could find yourself stranded. Better buy a car battery and use it to charge. I think I have seen some that are made nicely as well.

    No idea I could do this, and a question.

    you're still clinging to the "hasn't happened, means it wont happen" mindset I suppose I should stop wearing my seatbelt because I've never been in a bad accident or stop wearing my helmet because I've never crashed my bike It truly is a personal choice if it makes you feel good then you...

    akin to saying I never install a spare tire on my car - I never get punctures it only takes one time of poor packing to break an expensive part slipping on the cover is easy - slide it in from the top into the notches then swing it upwards to lock in worth making it a habit

    Intelligent modes

    this happened to me I'd taken my M2P with me on a 2 week dive trip I knew I'd only have time to fly it once or twice on both times I could not figure out how to switch into cinematic mode didnt have time to pull up the electronic pdf either so I managed with some nice photos and trimming...

    Are you going to move from a Mavic 2 Pro to a Mavic Air 2? And why?

    Nah Don't let the smaller sensor fool you. You're giving up a lot of quality for not a lot of excess flight time.

    Confused about exposure settings

    Yes, frames per second is how much data is collected screen the shutter is open. So if you're shutter is opened for too long and its over exposed, having a higher fps will only provide a better over-exposed footage. No Won't be darker. I understand your point. If it's recording at more frames...

    Questionable DJI Service

    It's unacceptable that dji don't explain why it shows up as another model. Pursue this with them.

    Confused about exposure settings

    Try using aperture mode with exposure peaking to detect any exposure issues that you can swiftly correct with the exposure-control wheel on the controller. White balance has nothing to do with exposure. White balance is the color of colors. From a blue tint to a warm tint. Under or over...

    Should I buy the Pro 2 with or without the Smart Controller?

    The SC is old technology - from design to software to specs DJI pulled the carpet on us with this cash cow or something or another...

    What do you have your return to flight height set for?

    I realized that the height needst be set every flight. I realized this the hard way a few days ago. I lost signal between a rock and a hard place. Was on a very remote Indonesian jungle island. The rock being the ocean and the hard place the dense jungle. Funny thing is that I lost signal from...

    Buying Mavic 2 Pro: Please Help Me Decide between Amazon Packages

    unless you realize you need 5 batteries - five batteries are a lot thats at least an hour and 40 mins of fly time then again, who am I to talk about hobby length? I happily do 4 dives a day lol but the point is, unless you know for a fact that you want to spend 2 hours flying, then don't get 5...

    Post flight video editing; how many do it?

    I feel I need to adjust colors, brightness, contrast and saturation - in addition to trimming superfluous footage.

    Turning off obstacle avoiding in tripod mode???

    Replicate tripod mode settings. Search 'best mavic gimbal settings' on YouTube got a tutorial. Essentially, you're replicating tripod mode threshold levels.
