    New Air2s w/ rc pro challenge.

    Well, What’s a mother to do! That fixed it. I should have thought to review the screens provided. I probably saw that before in a cursory scan. My lesson learned is to pay more attention and understand what I am seeing before moving (rushing) forward to another window. Thank you very much for...

    New Air2s w/ rc pro challenge.

    I received my Air2s w/ RC pro 4 days ago. I have flown it twice totaling maybe 15 minutes. First flight, no problem. Today, my second flight, the drone will not respond to left/right movements while in normal mode. All is good in cinema and sport. I have another Air2S with the standard...

    New A2S, autotrack

    Another member contacted me (Thanks Chuck) and suggested to go to the “control tab” in the app and see that “subject scanning” is activated. Mine was not, moved it to blue and now I am golden! Try that Zen and let us know if that is your solution also.

    Motor replacement?

    I choose to try the solution put forward in post 3 as it was the easiest. Vacuum and aerosol air can and I am back in business. New blades all around and no worse for wear. I appreciate all responses, and am capable of the repair shown in the video supplied. I wonder though if I removed the arm...

    Motor replacement?

    My son said he “ran into a box”. Now when rotated manually my left rear motor has a grinding feel to it. It will still fly but am getting a propeller overreving message and to land immediately. Propellers look fine, if I replace them I will still have the initial grinding. Can I buy a motor...

    MM take a swim

    On 4 May Drone Valley posted a 22 minute youtube video ”Anatomy of a Mini Mavic flyaway“. In it he discusses flying over different terrain including water. He explains Visual Inertial Odometry and the challenges of flying over specifically smooth water at a low level. This guy is a great...

    New Mavic Mini caretaker in Eastern Washington

    Hello, new to drones, purchased my Mini 3 days ago and am looking forward to learning. I have watched hours and hours of YouTube but at 70 yrs young I have challenges grasping the technical side of things. Not the hands on flying so much, that’s repetition and recovering from mistakes. I would...
