    M2ED - Best Controller?

    Thanks for the reply - which controller is the "pro"? And how can I connect in a YOLOBOX to grab the stream? Looking for simple, fast, and fairly inexpensive (my search flights are generally freebies, so not revenue generating..)

    M2ED - Best Controller?

    TL/DR - for my flying style, what's the best remote for my M2ED? Time airborne, battery life - I like my M2ED, maybe not as much as I liked my MPP, but it's a solid platform and the addition of thermal was the driving reason for the upgrade. I don't care for the controller (RC1B, from...

    Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual - gimbal rotates independently?

    I might have found the answer on a DJI product page for the Mavic 2 - I'll test tomorrow and see if this works... "Can I use the remote controller to move the Mavic 2's gimbal 75° from left to right? No. However, you can control the Mavic 2’s gimbal movements with DJI GO 4 or a connected pair...

    Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual - gimbal rotates independently?

    I had a chance last week to let a friend's grandson learn to fly my M2ED, he's a farm kid with an interest in film production. I was really pleased with how attentive and careful he was while flying, and we were about to get some great shots of working tractors on his family farm. While...

    M2ED - Filters?

    TL/DR - I want to attach filters to my M2ED, are there commercial models, or has anybody made an adapter? I started with a Mavic Pro Platinum got my 107 and quickly got into real estate work - it's a hobby that pays just enough to support itself, but occasionally I'd have a request I couldn't...

    Recommendations For Flying The Mavic Out The Cargo Door Of A Float Plane

    Don't see it mentioned - even anchored, the plane will shift a bit in the water - be very sure to manually land instead of using RTH without manual control - very good chance that your GPS return location will shift slightly, and if you are landing on a raft, a wing or the top of the door you...

    FAA Survey this morning

    As the survey wasn't Mavic specific, what about tethered flight?

    FAA Survey this morning

    I wondered about that meaning, however the question before that was "how often do you fly" or similar (I don't specifically recall). I took the length of flight to be "per session" not "per battery". Either way, the survey was a bit fluffy, didn't really ask much.

    FAA Survey this morning

    Just received a survey from FAA with about a dozen questions about my flying habits and how I want to communicate with the FAA. Funny, they asked the question below, but my answer didn't fit in their range - I have 5 Mavic batteries currently, even with a bit of wind I can pretty readily...

    Will a Pixel 3A or Moto G7 work with my DJI Mavic controller?

    Thank's guys - I know the 3XL didn't work initially, and I received a Samsung tablet as a gift that had to go back because that particular version didn't support Go 4. A little gunshy, as I have to return my 5x to get the new phone.

    Will a Pixel 3A or Moto G7 work with my DJI Mavic controller?

    Morning - I fly a Mavic Pro Platinum, currently use a Nexus 5x as my controller display, works well. For various reasons, I have a chance to swap in the 5x toward a new device for very little cash, and need to know which new devices will work with my DJI controller and DJI Go 4. My choices...
