    Mavic 2 Pro Crash out of Control

    After watching video a few times it seems there was a glitch at the moment that the traffic lights turned yellow then to red ... not sure if it was just a coincidence but I know that sometimes lights have systems for fire trucks built in so they can regulate the lights and also magnetic sensors...

    With me, fear of crashing was the deterrent for me taking things slow and easy in the beginning... also the money invested in this hobby ... my first drone was the AR Drone by Parrot that used a WiFi connection to my new iPhone 4 in 2010 that I promptly flew in to the side of my house !! (If...

    BT-300 and External Display while Flying?

    Well than I apologize... I have the Mavic 2 and smart controller and was going by specs on the BT 35E that have HDMI connections.. ... I don’t know about the Mini controller or BT 300 ... I assumed they had HDMI .. I also have DJI goggles that have a HDMI out connection... sorry!

    BT-300 and External Display while Flying?

    Whatever controller you are using.... if you’re hooking up a BT 300 you have to be coming from your controller so instead of directly to BT you split it first.... one cable to BT and second cable to external video source whatever it may be ... as long as it has HDMI input... if it’s a iPad you...

    BT-300 and External Display while Flying?

    I was thinking you would split HDMI at the source -ie: controller, crystal sky, smart controller,DJI goggles - before it goes to BT 300 than you can go to both after splitter ( 1 in 2 out)

    Mavic 2 Pro Display Upgrade Options ?

    If you’re thinking about getting a better and brighter screen than go for the smart controller !!! Do your homework and watch some YouTube videos and reviews... it can’t be beat ! The only problem I have had with it is that the updates are tricky!! Screen brightness is comparable to crystal sky...

    Quick Question about gimbal lock/cover

    I looked in to getting a polar pro gimbal cover for my M2P but can’t find one ... they all seem to be out of stock ? Some reviewers say that they are to tight and OEM are easier to install .. I really don’t mind original although I have forgotten to remove it a few times... I put a piece of tape...
