    DJI Batteries and Cold Weather . . .

    If you're not flying regularly, what's the best practice for storing the batteries? The original post says not to store them charged for more than 24-48 hours but to also not run them below 20%.

    Buying an open box new Mavic 2 Pro. What should I scrutinize?

    Buying an open box new Mavic 2 Pro. What should I scrutinize?

    I'm buying an open box, new Mavic 2 Pro from a private seller. Are there things I should be looking for to avoid losing money? Are there fakes? How can you spot a refurbished unit? Does that matter? Will I be able to check the battery through the Fly app without registering the drone through DJI?

    Larger but dimmer tablet vs smaller brighter phone

    I have and iPhone 12 Pro Max that is nice and bright but too small for my aging eyes. I'm looking at a tablet that's significantly less bright (roughly 450 nits) but larger (8-10"). Has anyone gone to a less bright tablet and still considered it a good upgrade?
