    Anyone use a pad holder with Hoodman

    I used to use that same setup except the second piece (top) of the Hoodman and the iPad holder never sank down on me. The bar on my PGYTECH tablet holder is actually very tight. I've since switched to the Thor mount and to be honest, I'm never bothered enough to grab the Hoodman, I just find a...

    First boat launch

    I'll fly the drone back to the boat normally but for lining up the landing (hand catch) I have the drone backwards. The reason is, if you move the right stick right, the drone goes right. If you move the right stick left, the drone goes left. There is already a lot going on on a boat and with...

    First boat launch

    Yeah, coming in backwards is the best way to do it on a boat, you move the stick left the drone goes left, you move it right and the drone goes right. There is just to much other stuff going on while trying to land on a boat to have one more thing to remember and move the sticks in the opposite...

    First boat launch

    I fly off boats all the time and when landing I find it easiest to bring the drone in backwards.

    Ipad ios update prevented from flying

    I was just going to ask this as restarting the iPad is not listed in the chain of events the OP listed. It could have been as simple as the iPad needing a reboot.

    How do you update the batteries

    You can also use DJI Assistant with the drone connected to your computer. You would need to do this for each battery. I received the message in the Fly app about my battery needing to be updated but only for one battery so I check in DJI Assistant and that's when I was able to update my other two.

    I got *VERY* lucky!

    You're really funny because we don't agree on anything, especially some 3 second thing you made-up about DJI aircraft. Please show me one place DJI refers to this 3 second process you're speaking of. You can't because it does't exist. I never said abrupt, I said the drone stops when it loses...

    Mavic Air 2 video records in segments only

    Actually in this case it is DJI. It doesn't matter which file system your card is formatted to. Try it for yourself, or a quick Google search will show you DJI limits the file size, there is no way around it. DJI File Size

    I got *VERY* lucky!

    First: I'm not twisting anything. Second: 3 seconds has NOTHING to do with the Mavic Air 2 or DJI Fly, there is no 3 second process. Please show me one place DJI refers to this 3 second process you're speaking of in regards to the MA2. There is no 3 second signal loss time, you have signal or...

    Ipad Mini 5

    I was going to edit my post to include USB cables as well...lol. The search for them is straight up awful.

    Ipad Mini 5

    Gotcha, sometimes I hate Amazon's search. I have almost bought a few things that I thought were correct but double checked and while they were close they should have not been included it the search. They are really bad about doing it with screen protectors.

    Ipad Mini 5

    Do you have a link? I didn't know the iPad mini 5 came in a 128GB version. I thought it was either 64GB or 256GB.

    DJI limits the file sizes to a maximum of 4GB.

    Tablet for Mavic Air 2

    I've used my 11" iPad Pro once or twice, but it's big so I bought a iPad Air 3, that was also bigger than I really wanted so I ended up with the iPad mini 5. I have the Thor mount and with that the 11 Pro is not too bad but it's still BIG for flying. I use the Pro for editing.

    I got *VERY* lucky!

    So I guess here you would just be incorrect then? Because if you lose signal you're not traveling an extra 120 feet and the only other thing you mentioned was GPS. RTH does not kick in after 3 seconds it takes 11 seconds after loss of signal, but once you lose signal the MA2 just stops and does...
