I also fly an M1P as well and have the Holy Stone RID. do not use the velcro that comes with it but get the tape shown in my pictures

Howdy from the Houston Texas area. remember to get your FAA TRUST certificate and also make sure you have RID in your software or an external RID device

I had a similar issue with my M1P. I replaced the cable going from my controller to my phone and all was well. Try using the USB port on the controller and see if that makes a difference.

Are there any USA companies making high quality drones, comparable to the Mavic line? I fly an older M1P and love it but I am also pro USA if/when i can.

so far so good

Here is my Holy Stone RID on my M1P. I agree with Greg S regarding the velcro. I used a 3M locking tape shown in the photos. It is 1/2-inch wide so I have 2 strips next to each other.

Howdy from just a bit east southeast of you in the Houston area. One of my friends lives out your way in Buffalo Gap

I agree with you on that point, however the NLD software will open other aspects for the flyer

Welcome from the Houston Texas area. I too fly a Mavic 1 Pro. My suggestion would be to go to no limit drones (nolimitdronez.com) and load the software. it makes a world of difference

Howdy from the Houston Texas area. Fly safely and be smart about things. Common sense goes a long way. if you will be storing your drone for a stretch do not store with the batteries full, 50% is better.

I put skins on my two M1P's and it did help a little, out to about 1800 feet away. If it is overcast i can probably see to 2000 feet, but I agree a strobe makes all the difference (and i have that now too).

Howdy from the Houston TX area from a passed Masshole. I grew up in Needham, summered in Hull and went to college at the other end of the canal (Mass Maritime).

Howdy from the Houston Texas area from a guy that used to be a Masshole (Needham/Hull-summers).

I respectfully disagree with you. I live just outside of a NFZ for commercial aircraft. If a plane is near by (and i have no idea how far away) i will get a warning on my phone screen saying words to the affect "Caution, aircraft in the area"

I fly what is now considered to be an antiquated M1P and if there are aircraft in the area i get a warning.
