    M2P videos keep stopping: smart controller goes to home screen

    That was my expectation as well. Wondering if there are any work-arounds. I don't want to have to pay to repair a new controller. Thanks for any help

    M2P videos keep stopping: smart controller goes to home screen

    I have an SD card in both the drone and the smart controller. They're brand new and I've switched them out. The drone is recording but the controller isn't the way I have it set up. Video recorded on the drone sd card cuts out approximately the same time the controller screen goes back to "go fly".

    M2P videos keep stopping: smart controller goes to home screen

    I've read similar posts but find it frustrating that I can't resolve this. I bought a Mavic 2 pro and smart controller about a month ago with few if any problems. Since the last firmware update, the video STOPS RECORDING within 15 seconds and controller goes to 'go fly' screen. Over and over...

    Hi from Grover Beach California

    Halcyon is still there, the train station (depot) in Oceano is now an historical site with a new Amtrak station in Grover Beach on the corner of Hwy 1 and Grand Ave and the Halcyon post office is still there! I'd be glad to take and send photos :)

    Hi from Grover Beach California

    Ha! My biggest issue (after a firmware update) continues to be figuring out the best, fastest way to transfer video from the mavic 2 pro to my Mac. If you could point me to a link(s) I'd be grateful!

    Hi from Grover Beach California

    Sounds great. How do you check local sites for regulations or restrictions? I've read a little re: parks in SLO county (no fly zones), shooting at all over San Luis Obispo (another restricted zone) and TFRs that limit when and where I can fly legally. Other than b4ufly is there another app you...

    Part 107 vs recreational rules

    I was going to mention the same thing. You can't fly over anyone who isn't part of your drone crew.

    Hi from Grover Beach California

    I've just now acquired a Mavic Pro 2 and am having a heck of a time getting it to play nice with my Mac computer. Loving the product but not the How-To's-For-Drone-Dumb-Video-Guys; that part not so much. I've managed to do more "don'ts" than "Dos" so far, somehow yet haven't crashed yet. So...

    Anyone in the Santa Barbara to Paso Robles areas?

    I'm a No0b drone pilot working towards part 107 with years of video and photography experiences. I'd like to connect with others similarly interested in this area; I'm actually near Pismo Beach myself. Cheers
