    DJI Pilot vs DJI Fly & DJI Go 4

    I was afraid you were going to say that.... Thanks.

    DJI Pilot vs DJI Fly & DJI Go 4

    I've been using DJI Pilot with M2ED for several years. It kind of works, but obviously was never designed for an iPad. Also continued sync issues when uploading flight history. But I've lived with it. DJI also offers DJI Go 4 (which I used to use with my P4P+ and was very happy with), and DJI...

    Anyone here has reservations over friction-mount strobe light mounts?

    I use clip-on 3D printed mounts for Firehouse strobes on a Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual. Same mounts for 3-4 years (only clipped on when flying at night, not used during the day). No distortion on the clips, no slipping, stay in place. My design: Prusa Printables Mavic Strobe LED Holders There are...

    DJI Phantom 4 Pro + Plus Drone, 4 batteries, prof case, etc.

    I actually like it more than the M2ED. Seems more stable in the air. And I have a drop system for P4P+ to drop an inflatable flotation device for river rescues. But the number of actual times I've needed to use the drop system over the years (zero), vs the number of times I've been called out...

    Mavic 2 RID firmware is now live!!!

    I didn't know the M2Zoom was getting RID. Does anyone know if the M2ED is getting RID?

    Has anyone attached external leds to their mavic?

    I routinely attach Firehouse LED strobes to my Mavic 2ED for night flying. Even made 3D printed clips so they could be attached and removed easily. Would probably fit other Mavics as well: 3D Printed LED Clips

    Question About Strobe Lights

    I created some 3D printed clips that attached Firehouse Dual strobes for Mavic 2 series drones. There is a pair that faces forward and a pair that faces sideways, or you can mix/match. The snap on and snap off, and won't fall off. Website: Prusa Printables I also have a set posted for Phantom 4.

    Looking for CURRENT Remote ID add-on recommendations

    Thank you to everyone who responded. I just ordered a Dronetag Beacon for the Fire Department M2ED. Best case it arrives in October. Not much else we can do. I've been in contact with several people locally who ordered RID modules weeks ago and they are also not expecting deliveries by the...

    Looking for CURRENT Remote ID add-on recommendations

    I follow Pilot Institute but haven't seen that - I'll go looking for it. A change like this would certainly make life easier. Right now I'm leaning toward the Drone Tag Beacon, but it wouldn't arrive until October at the earliest.

    Looking for CURRENT Remote ID add-on recommendations

    Hi, I've been holding off buying a RID add-on thinking that as 9/17/23 approaches more module options will come to market. I've looked at the various threads here and didn't find anything really recent. If I missed it, please just point me to the thread and I'll discontinue this one. With less...

    CalTopo/SARTopo support from within DJI Pilot or Fly?

    SARTopo/CALTopo allows the search coordinator to layout search areas and then assign them to the teams. Teams on foot have the app on their phone and it tracks their position in real time on the same map where the assignments are laid out. So on foot, you can see if you're in your assigned area...

    Remote ID for MA 2

    I'm a little confused (nothing new). Since some drones will need an external module to do RID, how will the drone itself know that you do or don't have the external module and thus possibly refuse to take off?

    CalTopo/SARTopo support from within DJI Pilot or Fly?

    Does anyone know if there's a way for DJI Pilot or DJI Fly to support or integrate with CalTopo/SARTopo? It would be very useful if the DJI app provided tracking of the drone location during a search managed by CalTopo/SARTopo, much like the app tracks search teams on foot. It would also be...

    How can I export a KML file after a search flight?

    I was able to get an Airdata account and export the KML info. It imported into SARTopo just fine. Thanks!
