    Mavic 2 foggy screen after flying in rain.

Video came out just fine but my still shots were white and could barely make out details in the photo. So why still pictures foggy and video fine? Ideas welcome. Thanks!

    Too close for comfort?

    Keep an offshore acct. and it would only hurt half as much.

    Low battery which should I use Tripod or S ?

    A variation to this issue.Recently returning home Mavic 2 zoom in P mode I was flying into a headwind with what I thought was a safe battery level. I was at 700 ft. and at times the drone under full throttle was moving backwards. I dropped altitude 2 times but the speed was very low and my...

    Police called after flying in my own backyard

    The world is full of Napoleon wannabes and troublemakers. Unfortunately that is the world we live in today.

    How I Lost My Mavic 2 Zoom

    You should have your gps flight path stored. Get a couple of kids and offer a reward that gives them the incentive to spend a couple of hours in the bush. I fly model planes and if one goes rogue that is what some pilots do.
