Wow, that would be the definition of ignorance. Not knowing what something is and yet hating it.

Yeah, it's almost as if they're in the business to make money. /sarc LOL.

Thanks for sharing info. Here's a link. I figured that the vibration from a severely imbalanced prop would cause catastrophic instability. NOT SO! Amazing.

If you stay away from people, then you can't hit them and you don't need prop guards. Also, if you have prop guards, then you can't chop up hornet nests:

I did some testing to check performance of the storage. For the Huawei tablet, I downloaded an app from the Play Store called "SD Card Tester", by samliu720. I ran the following tests on the tablet using several cards I had available: <For the results below, all speeds are in units of...

Today I put the Mavic Air up using the Huawei tablet, after making the changes recommended by everybody. Everything seemed fine, so I picked up some altitude and started capturing a video. Shortly after that, the DJI Go4 app on the tablet started acting very erratic, getting stuck. I stopped...

"Huawei has an aggressive power and resource saving feature where it culls apps more than it should. The solution is to exclude Go4 from the battery optimisation and the auto close power hungry apps list in the settings. Then it wont close. " Wow, this is excellent input! Last night I went...

If the app crashes or disappears, the drone can still be controlled using the sticks and visual control (that is if you can see it). In my case, I just touched the DJI icon and it started right back up. I suppose if it's beyond sight, and you can't get the app back up such as in the case of...

Amazing video of an amazing location. Thanks for sharing!!!

If they want to play dumb, then we should too. " Honest, ossiffer, I thought it meant no drone airabatics".

I was considering picking up some of these extractors from msinger. I could make my own quite easily. However, seeing people begging for a "free" model pushed me over the edge. Now I'm going to buy two sets!!! .....order placed.....

Flying my Mavic Air one time I had the controller disconnect from the bird. The Air came back via RTH. The controller didn't reconnect until it was about 6 feet off the ground, when I finally power cycled the controller. So, for me, the next time I get a disconnect like this, I'll power cycle...

This weekend I took my first real flight with my Hauwei MediaPad M5, 10.8". Several times the DJI Go4 app seemed to crash while flying the Mavic Air. ...or at least the app disappeared, requiring me to restart it using the icon, so I'm assuming that was a crash. I was using the DJI USB-C to...

Wow, crash into a tombstone and burn. There has to be a spiritual lesson in there for all of us. Know where you're going!

It was recommended to go with the Mavic Air since it was so much less cost that the M2P and almost as good as the MP. Now I'm looking to upgrade to get the extra flight distance, the 20 MP resolution, and I like the hyperlapse. Might as well get the M2P so I don't end up looking to upgrade...
