    Air 2 ClubMed Kemer 2023 summer vibes & first contact with a mega Yacht drone defence system

    Summer Vibes ClubMed Bodrum. A summer beach vacation needs always a bit more "action" than just swimming & sailing for me, so here is my usual summer vacation postcard with some relaxed flying during our recent trip to ClubMed Bodrum in Turkey. Really a perfect place to relax with always good...

    Air 2 ClubMed Miches lazy summer beach drone flying (very green nature )

    We had a great and very lazy summer beach vacation this year at ClubMed Miches. Some pics to share this beautiful & very “green” location. Thanks again to all the GO’s, especially the wing foil team (you rock:). The drone was out to fly a lot & I am still happy with my "old" Air 2 , no...

    Better 48MP photos when using a specific Lightroom function

    Just came across a very interesting article on how to fight the 48MP moire in MA2 when using a specific lightroom function: " With Enhance Details, the false colors were knocked right out, without any loss to acuity. In fact, at little spots throughout the frame, there were fewer artifacts and...

    Extremely close encounter with a bird!

    I have no video as the bird crashed into my drone from the side while drone was facing me for landing... but I have the log files were you can see that the drone just "falls out of the sky" with no tree around & no motor error... and yes, it was a very scary moment. I think it was a pigeon give...

    Crashed MA2 in first flight, what to check ?

    Thank you @Dedal for the very detailed explanation, my (wrong) assumption was that if an emergency "stop" only happens when there is an CRITICAL error from Mavic flight controller this would stop the motors automatically after the signal is received without any manual stick input needed.. but...

    Crashed MA2 in first flight, what to check ?

    Thank you , I thought in a emergency situation the motors would stop automatically, so now I know that I need to do in addition the stick command. So the difference to use the command in emergency only vs CSC manover is not very clear to me .. the second one allows it to happen during a flight &...

    Crashed MA2 in first flight, what to check ?

    here is what I mean, the flight logs shows that the motor is blocked after hitting the bush .. but the drone did not stop the motors even if the props could not turn until I switched the craft off. I thought there is a sensor that when an impact is recorded the motors are stopped automatically?

    Crashed MA2 in first flight, what to check ?

    Got my MA2 on Friday & went out to test it Sunday. All went well until I prepared to land. At the hight of approx 3-4 meters my MA2 was suddenly attacked by a bird (just saw a fast grey flash hitting my drone); which felt out off the sky and into a not too rigid bush smoothening the impact. I...

    yup first crash & 100% lazy pilot error

    As we are in lockdown I decided to play a bit with my mini on my roof terrace. Very stupidly & lazy I decided to lift of from a table which has a iron or alumunium frame so for sure I got a compass error .. drone lift up normal and all of a sudden fly backward without wind or stick impact after...
