    Ken Heron on the FT Aviator

    I fight everyday trying to figure out how I want to do my monitoring. That is the major downfall for me so far. So for right now I train getting used to the joystick and doing maneuvers with it safely and comfortably. The camera part will be the easiest to work. If/once it is BT350 compatible...

    Ken Heron on the FT Aviator

    I've flown teh FT Aviator with the Mavic 2 Pro and the Inspire 2. I like it and can see using in certain use cases. The real drawback is trying to use a phone or tablet as a monitor. If it was able to work with my BT350's then it would be a way better experience.

    I remember when I first read about it I thought I'm good, THEY, got a bad batch. Not sure if this is the same as KARMA type recall but we shall see.

    Mavic 2 falling from the sky - Complete failure

    I lost mine too and am awaiting DJI to get back to me. Mine was a motor current error and then dropped 42 feet. Sent them the dat files and all too. I have an airdata account and like their HD Flight player a lot. It will show your joysticks movements as well as what it going on with any errors...

    Why does everyone use RTH?

    Because I can? I laugh when people act like they are better 'pilots' because they don't use it. Hey if you flew to wherever I am sure you can fly back.I guess you never use cruise control or adaptive cruise in your car either? Does it make you a better driver? You can always at any point...

    Flying Over Water - Some Results and Tips

    I just flew in Cancun and disabled no sensors. I had more interference from the boats navigation then anything else. Once the Mavic settled in it was all good. I shot 11gb worth of videos and photos. The lowest I hovered was about 10 feet above the waterline for a few seconds and the rest of...

  12. Q

    RTH or fly home?

    I use both but more RTH than anything just because I use the Helipad circle and like watching the precision landing. I use adaptive cruise control in my car too. I am too old for peer pressure so going in on someone for using the features designed for it makes no sense to me. If you use it great...
