    I always get flac for telling you all this. A better gimbal camera guard meeds to be in place on the Mavic UAVs. The camera is too exposed. w pics

    I jest. Take the spare tires, jumper cables, seat belts and airbags out of your cars right now. You won't need them. You all are such safe pilots.

    Not literally. I was talking more about the equipement they are carrying anyway. Who want's to hit a big truck even more expensive equipement. Hitting the person would be worse. I'll say it again. People are off limits to my drones position. I avoid them like the plague. Sorry I brought you there.

    Good point. The drone is expensive. The gimbal and camera cost half the price of the drone. Why not reduce the chances of it getting damaged. Did I say, I proudly would like saying, I crash". No. I'm not proud of it at all. I just want to save some money. That's my only reason for this idea...

    I avoid my co workers like the plague when taking off or landing. They are the most important thing to avoid. I could care less about the gimbal if I was too close to someone. Thst will never happen. I won't ever get near a person. They are my highest priority.

    I made no mention of people in my landing area. How you turned poor landings into "people filled" zones is quite perplexing. How did you get from there to that other place. A to the E?

    The safety of those around me is me. When others are even close, there is no caviler attitude whatsoever. Those blades are dangerous. "They an take your eye out kid."

    Mavic 3 flies forward (on its own) crashing into a house wall

    I'm still learning not to fly to close to things. Over time, the little bumps, drops or minor crashes will cause some sort of drone malfunction that can only be repaired by professionals.

    Ok , I know, let us see the logs. I may post. What could cause simultaneous quad copter cavitation and a failure of the gimbal to calibrate itself?

    You are correct. There must be some sort of internal electronic damage to a stabilizer system. I do have my occasional dropsies or bumps due to high frequent use. I'm sending it in under DJI express. I'm not going to risk flying something that could cause damage to other's, their property or...

    I used DJI manufactured props the first time I noticed it, but this did not help. Anyway, I'm too nervous to use it and have DJI care . I'm going to use it and use EXpress to get a new drone.

    The Mav 3 Enterprise. It is flying normally sometimes at take off, then the whole body starts to resonate in a ferquency. A speciic vibrational frequency, perhaps on the low end. It's almost a countable frquency. It's not a shaky vibration. It's like a .5 second undulation of the whole drone and...

    I don't deliberately hit my drone on things and cause these minor incidences. I use the drone so much. Every day in fact, that Just by regular multiple daily use and flight locations, I am bound to bump into things. I hate the idea, that I have this expensive machine, that I just took the gimbal...

    I noticed my UAV cavitating or vibrating with a specific frequency with a rather large amplitude for a uav when I brought it in for a landing. Then I noticed a gimbal error message. After landing it tried aligning itself. I turned everything off and hovered in my house. The cavitation came...

    i LIKE THE LOOKS OF THAT VISOR. iT LOOKS STRONGER THAN MOST . i BOUGHT A CHEAP ONE ONCE. iT WOULD FALL OFF ALL THE TIME.

    I always get told that the camera being exposed as much as it is, is simply a part of the design of these camera drones and there is not much to do about it. There is plenty to do about , if you ask me. A LIGHTWEIGHT GUARD THAT DOESN'T INTERFERE WITH CAMERA MOVEMENT and or VISUALIZATION, CAN BE...
