    Mavic Air 2 Sea crash due to a malfunction.

    Well, I guess I have to look up RF propagation through shark meat......

    Flying around big equipment to show how our city removes snow

    Your snow removal crews are so thoughtful! They plow the snow to the center, and then haul it off. Here in Colorado, they plow to the shoulder, leaving tall piles for homeowners to dig through for access to the street. Nice video!

    Mavic Air 2 Sea crash due to a malfunction.

    I have always been under the impression that RF propagation under water was suitable for extremely short distances. I found some data that indicates low power 2.4Ghz transmissions can be useful for no more than a meter. This leads me to believe that the transmissions from the drone were from...

    Handling hostile members of the public

    I've been given grief flying from my patio, within my property (2 acres). Some people are just ********.

    Mavic 2 Pro Crash out of Control

    The drone moved upward the instant the traffic light at the next intersection turned yellow. Any chance the traffic lights are coordinated by microwave and that interfered with the drone? I don't believe that this was pilot error. The intention was obvious - to fly down the center of the...

    FPC 34 pin to repair mavic 2 pro core board

    I would write to DJI and request the parts. They might just send them to you. That will be a delicate repair. You will need solder paste and a way to remove excess solder. I use solder wick. Watch your iron temperatures and time on the board. Be careful not to lift any circuit traces...

    Cyber Monday DJI Battery Sale! Is this place Legit??

    I did the same thing. Clicked on Mavic Pro 2 and it took me to the Mavic Pro. It isn't your computer, it is their website. I've never tried aftermarket batteries for my drone, but I've never had good luck with other than OEM batteries. It's OK if my battery drill quits, but I don't want that...

    Getting cold feet about owning a Drone

    A friend of mine takes just the controller to a park and pretends to fly. Inevitably, somebody walks up to him and complains. I've not been confronted personally, just by phone, email, and facebook. I saved a screenshot from the guy who threatened to shoot it down. I live in the country...

    Aircraft processor chip overheating

    The problem could be a bad fan or something else. To help determine whether it is the fan itself, I would be inclined to force air to circulate through the drone. This could be compressed air, or a vacuum, set up to pull air out of the exhaust vents. If you do not get the error message when...

    Accident rate data?

    I apologize for the very late reply. I am learning my way around in the forum and just found the activity list. No, not interested in your drone as I purchased a Mavic Pro 2. Thank you.
