    Here we go Remote ID Cost

    Who is going to be operating these 50lb drones? Knowing Amazon employees, I'd be quite worried about who is in control of flying these crafts. Imagine the lawsuit when one comes crashing down on someone...SMH.

    Knick in Mavic 2 Props

    By the way, while I would replace that prop if possible, you can take a very fine file/emery board to it and gently minimize the nick and smooth it out. That way you can keep the prop as a spare in case of an emergency out on the road. Never know when you might have a mishap on a shoot and be in...

    How do I best explain to follow FAA rules to a new operator of a drone?

    Like others have stated, you are TRYING to do the right thing and nurture a future responsible pilot, which is commendable. That being said, some people have more $ than common sense, and some are just rebels...It's just what they do. I'd try and explain the current situation of our hobby/craft...

    Knick in Mavic 2 Props

    OMM gave you great advice. I will add a caveat to his suggestion and suggest you get the fishing weights with the epoxy coating on them so you aren't always absorbing lead when you touch the weights. I actually did this modification to my landing pad last year. I found some flat epoxy coated 3oz...

    Mavic 2 Pro gimbal cover suggestions

    I have abandoned my stock gimbal cover for the Sunnylife/Threeking version. I got mine in a 2 pack and it does the job much better than the stock cover IMO. I almost opted for the PP cover, but after reading about the tight fit and people saying it placed a lot of pressure on the gimbal/arm I...

    How to replace the DJI Smart Controller's screen? HELP!!!

    Ouch...DId you have a glass screen protector over the original glass? That's the first thing I did on my SC. The 2nd thing I did was insure both my SC and M2P with a State Farm personal articles policy, then I added a bracket to the SC for a lanyard. I'd be distraught if I dropped and broke my...

    Smart Controller Poor Signal

    Okay....This is some what interesting to me because aside from having no signal issues with my SC in a large city or in the absolute sticks of upstate, why are you wanting to switch to FCC mode, and is your signal that bad/weak all the time or just when you tried to "Spoof" the SC? I'm quite...

    Can you leave the RC cable connected when RC folded away in bag?

    It doesn't, as I have an M2P. Thus why I never thought much about leaving the cable connected. But the standard controller for the M2P would be the same type scenario.

    Here we go Remote ID Cost

    True that....and I definitely wouldn't go fly in the "Badlands" or anything, but the truth of the matter is that it's getting bad most everywhere anymore. Frankly, I don't fear this type of thing. I am probably the wrong guy to try and rob, but what about those who can't/don't have the means or...

    Can you leave the RC cable connected when RC folded away in bag?

    After seeing the pictures, I would probably leave mine connected as well. Of course I use a SC, so it's not an issue for me. But in this instance with the standard RC, it might actually be less wear and tear on both the cable and the port to just leave it connected. Not to mention one less thing...

    Here we go Remote ID Cost

    True to a degree....But I guess that might also depend on where you live/fly. I live in Philly...You never know WTH kind of craziness will emerge in this city. Given the "Killadelph's" deserved reputation, I would not be surprised to see people using the app to rob/jack drone pilots and their...

    MP2ED & Moverio 300

    AH...Thanks. I swore at some point in the past I was relatively certain my SC would work with the M2ED, thus I had this plan in my mind for quite some time. I didn't mean to hi-jack the movario thread, but once I saw the Android issue on play store and the Pilot App, I fired off the question...

    MP2ED & Moverio 300

    That sucks. LOL! So much for the thought of buying a Dual and using my SC. :confused:

    MP2ED & Moverio 300

    So if the pilot app doesn't load from the Android, does that mean the smart controller wont work with the Mavic Enterprise Dual?
