Based on a YouTube short, I just found out that there was a very recent firmware update that allows the owner to turn off the downward facing sensors to allow for low level flight and landing on moving objects. Is it possible this has been a problem for others or does DJI actually monitor this...

I am following up. As of mid-May 2025, there is no way to turn off or avoid the pause before landing. Sport mode or turning off all safety avoidance does not matter. So, you'd better be certain your watercraft is not drifting or blowing. You could be in for a real treat when landing in a tight...

So...it turns out that, according to a random AI generated query about this topic, I may have found a solution. However, have not tested it. Holding the left stick down overrides the avoidance sensors but NOT UNTIL 5 seconds pass. This would not work in my scenario, as this is exactly what I...

I have been flying DJI since the Phantom FC40. I have had two crashes in all those years and each have been on a watercraft. The most recent was my DJI Mini 4 Pro. I am curious if anyone has experienced a similar situation when out on the water. I took off in alligator-infested Lake Okeechobee...

I live in SW Florida which is typically 83-86 in May. I "upgraded" my M2P to the Air 2S. I am not certain the Fly app uses more CPU than the Go app but my iPhone 12 Pro screen is doing the heat-override-dimming-thing. Anyone having issues with the iPhone 12 Pro screen when flying? Yes, I fly in...

Following up on the "glitchy controller". After going through the settings and options in the safety of my living room, I discovered an interesting on-screen feature that may have caused this issue. Right above the auto takeoff button (left side of your viewing device screen) is an unsuspecting...

The Air 2S controller right-stick that moves the aircraft left or right in MODE 2 (default) is glitchy. Got the Air 2S on 23 April. Updated to the latest firmware and charged my fly-more combo batteries and controller to full. Wasted one full battery setting up the controller and camera and...

My two or three cents worth of opinion. I sold my M2P Fly More Combo + ND/PL filters. I promptly ordered the Air 2S Fly More combo. I ended up being about $200 shy but if you want a quick sale, lower the price right? My biased decision factors were: 1)I have grown very impatient waiting for...

I flew just yesterday. Beautiful snow covered marshland with surrounding pines. I lost 90% of my video footage due the sun glare on the lense/ND filter. Is it worth a few bucks...I’m thinking, yes. I hope someone out there can give a product review on a good functioning hood.

It's a cost to benefit ratio with a bit of risk = Y or N. In short, it all depends. Been flying 10-years prefer obstacle avoidance off, shoot landscapes or....is this your first drone, you are challenged by not having obstacle avoidance, do you shoot in between trees, homes, powerlines (risk...

Just did a quick glacé through 20 post and. Or a single person said they lost one, lol. That means people who post in Macicpilots are obviously the best pilots.

Be very concerned in about 18 months. That is the time it will take to implement/publish and then you will see the gradual enforcement take place over an additional two or three years. Everything that flies remotely beyond 400 feet distance will require both active WiFi connectivity (controller...

So, just finished a fruitless conversation with Skydio's chat room Willie. I asked if they were attempting to shorten the estimated 8-months wait time by ramping up production. I got the usual referral to public comments already made and nothing more to be said. Additionally, I mentioned that...

Ended up using this $4 pencil case from Walmart. Shoved a piece of corregated cardboard between the remote and drone to avoid scratches. Works in a pinch.

Sorry to hear about the registration requirement for UK. I knew the 249 gram would not last long. No government can standby and let the people have freedom without taxing it, lol. We make great slaves, don’t we.
