    Is this normal?

    So I presume you were adjusting the lens during the jump. I was thinking it was gimble related.

    Is this normal?

    Did you try recalculating your gimbal, my only suggestion on jumping. My pro 2 did the same thing until I did the recalc. After it was fine. Hope that helps.

    Rescue in Davenport, Iowa

    Making national news ...the Davenport Apartment building collapse has been in the news this week. While still hoping for the best for the final 2 people missing I contacted Scott County Civil Defense offering my Drone Business Services. Thankfully they told me they were already deploying both...

    Pardon My Rant

    Update: After many attempts to work with my Samsung 21 and any APK's associated with it I finally deserted it and went with the PPE instead. I still haven't flown much with it but it seems to be more practical than the go4 app that us not footing the bill for my phone. The suggestion to switch...

    Consider me interested but I don't have unlimited funds. The last Ipad I purchased couldn't even handle current software downloads so I gave to my Grandson for a toy.

    Pardon My Rant

    My business is being run on a shoestring budget and so far has not been able to afford me the 10k equipment the corporate Drone businesses have. I used some money from my little Brothers passing to kick my Business off in his honor and frankly l'm a little offended. The request to use Drone...

    Pardon My Rant

    I am simply trying to get my S21 FE to work with DJI Go 4 so it can then be linked to Drone Deploy which is what one if my Customer requirements was. I was able to link using an older version that did not say it was compatible to my phone. However, I am still not able to get the DJI to talk to...

    Pardon My Rant

    The one thing I hadn't tried was using an older APK that didn't even name my phone. I downloaded it and it hooked up to both the Mavics but I haven't flight tested them but am anticipating that today. Once I flight test them, I will update my post and recommend DJI include my model Samsung...

    Yes, several as a matter of fact, nothing works on my Android 12. Thanks for the tip though. Even though the APK says it supports Mavic Pro 2 it locked up on the initial screen each time.

    Pardon My Rant

    About two years ago I purchased the Mavic 2 Pro and Mini 2. Since then I upgraded my smart phone to the latest with 12.0 Android. I have a small business rendered almost useless trying to use the DJI go Fly and Drone Deploy. Nothing works with the latest apk's nor do I have an option to use the...

    Bird Avoidance

    Same thing with me and my Mavic Pro 2, was shooting at Liberty High in North Liberty, Iowa. It was easier to go back after landing and keep my equipment safe after a few crows showed their curiosity in their territory than test my DJI insurance ( another post).

    DJI care is no longer worth it.

    Same here. Just like Auto Insurance, Home owners etc.

    Flying in Scotland and Ireland

    So I've heard and we've been binge watching some Scottish TV where they are talking about them incessantly. Is there anything that keeps them away?
