    Complete discharge battery. M2Z with Hanatora charger. Should I?

    RadioFlyerMan - Thanks much for taking the time to send the instructions. For sure they were not in my box when I received the charger. It's discharging my batteries now.

    Complete discharge battery. M2Z with Hanatora charger. Should I?

    I got this charger from Amazon but no instructions on discharging. One side in Chinese and the other doesn't state how to discharge. It appears to charge when the light is Red. Green seems to turn on the fan. Is a blue light for discharging? Let mine run for 15 minutes with a blue light and...

    What do you use as a landing pad?

    The landing pad I got with my Mavic 2 Pro was totally useless. When landing it kept blowing away. Just put the thing on a clear area of the ground or concrete.

    Master Airscrew Blades vibrating

    I purchased these at one point and then started reading reviews on Amazon. I sent 2 or 3 emails to MAS to cancel the order and not to ship. I contacted my bank to dispute the charge also told MAS the same thing when I got no response. I got a reply and the order was cancelled before shipping...

    Fess up- Have you broken the VLOS rule? (poll)

    Never have let my drone out of my sight. I'm surprised the FAA hasn't gone after those who post videos of how they sent their drones out 2 miles from their location.

    MASTER AIRSCREW messing up.

    I was going to order these from Amazon until I read the reviews. They don't cut noise that much and bad manufacturing of the blades from quite a few people.

    Battery discharge cycle for 3-month maintenance...down to 10%? 8%? 0%?

    With the FAA's rules & BS and reading this thread I wish I had never purchased my overpriced M2P. DJI needs to find another solution to power these drones instead of using these overpriced batteries. Especially with, what appears to be, unclear rules for maintaining them.

    iPad mini 4 sun shade

    I cut up a cardboard box for my iPad mini 5. Haven't sprayed it black yet but it works quite well. The bonus is I actually know that it fits my iPad Mini 5. Cut 2 holes in the sides to turn on the iPad and to connect the cable from the controller for my Mavic 2 Pro. Cost: about 20 minutes...

    So what about Ipad type devices?

    Was using a Nexus a 7" nexus tablet. Worked but I am now using a iPad Mini 2 or 5 with the Mavic 2 Pro. You can get a refurbished iPad on Amazon or through Walmart online. Didn't pay over $250 for either one of my iPads.

    Calibrate vision sensors!

    I got this message the other day when cranking up the Mavic 2 Pro. I still flew the drone and afterwards checked the internet for further info. Installing DJI's Assistant app is a bit flaky. Trying to move your drone around to calibrate it while pointing at your computer screen is somewhat...

    Phone vs Tablet

    I originally got an ASUS Nexus tablet 7 for my Phantom 4 and M2P. It worked fine but just needed something larger than 7" screen. I am now using iPad Mini and it works better for me. Would never use a phone for flying my phone. You can pick up refirbished iPad Mini's for a very good price on...

    Batteries? How many???

    Well I was thinking of getting more than my 3 batteries that I have. I checked on Amazon & DJI sites. Apparently DJI has gotten even more greedy. As if most of the products and accessories aren't overpriced already. The $115 batteries are now $150.00. This was as of yesterday, 11/27/20. So...

    I Phone Update : IOS 14 is a Game Changer for the flying the Drone.

    I quit taking updates on all Apple products since their software people don't know what their doing anymore. I have mostly PC's now and quit updating Windows 3-5 years ago. I just got a refirbished iPad Mini for drone flying only and will not be updating my system on that either. Does anybody...
