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.

Wow! Just got back from my first flight (non fly-more combo). I flew in sub-freezing temperatures (20F). I installed the battery just prior to flight (keeping it warm in my pocket). It worked flawlessly for the 22 minutes I chose to fly. Still had some battery but received a warning 2X about...

I am a DJI drone enthusiast (i.e. I have owned FC40, P3A, Mavic, M2P and the new Mini) but the Skydio 2 is tapping me on the shoulder. OMG! Anyone see the youtube video by Danny Mcgee titled "Skydio 2 vs Mavic 2 Pro - the future of drones"? Until this video, I was not sold but remained...

Has anyone used any of the aftermarket accessories such as the Mavic Mini camera filters or a "small" case that fits the drone and controller? I am only seeing the PGYTECH filter (red color) with the two-prong-hang-on system and the JRS (off-brand gold color) filter that dont appear to attach...

Ordered mine on the 30th (non-fly more combo). Paid $349 USD as no tariffs or shipping charges are applied to Canada. DJI keeps changing the order website ship time (currently 3-5 business days from payment confirmation). Based on my receipt estimation (10-15 business days) I have requested...
