    Looking for Part 107 pilots in SW Wis.

    Agreed, PHZ. Specifically looking for pilots in or around the Madison, Mineral Point, Monroe, and Beaver Dam areas. It would be collecting crop data for growers in these areas with a DJI M30. Training and drone would be provided. Please DM me If you have any more questions or if interested just...

    Mavic 2 remote battery drainage

    My Mavic 2 Pro controller battery has also been on the decline. Mostly just doesn't keep a charge long if sitting. But it charges to 100% and seems to perform ok otherwise.

    Safe temperature to fly your drone?

    I would second what karlblessing says about letting warm batteries cool before recharging. What increases internal lithium battery temperatures is prolonged periods of high amp draw, especially with lithium batteries with a low "C" rating, which is the maximum discharge rate before damaging...

    Please look at your batteries...

    Hiwayman, Good news! I think I may have some information you have been looking for! I'm really glad you brought up this issue as I noticed the same problems last year with some of my Mavic 2 Pro batteries. I have not had any issues with any of the subject batteries performance-wise...

    If only DJI followed the Victor Hasseblad model :0

    I feel your pain, vindibona1, my new phone is not compatible with the phone plug on my wall. And I guess I'm ok with that. As long as the nearby telecom towers are functioning. If that changes, or I decide to move where the reception is poor, I may have to rethink that. I guess my point is...

    DroneDeploy not saving video files

    Any updates on this issue, Hummingbird? A few ideas on your issue- -I have been flying DroneDeploy for several years now and have settled with using a separate sd card and flight for all of the DDvideos just because it seems to work better and it makes it easier when sorting/uploading...

    Mavic 3 Cine Losing Jobs

    You're right, GadgetGuy, thank you. Apologies for not qualifying my statement. I was referring to the Mavic 3's RC-N1 controller. I have not flown the Mavic 3 Cine's RC-Pro controller yet. I realize this is the Mavic 3 Cine 3 thread but the thread is including discussions about all Mavics so...

    Mavic 3 Cine Losing Jobs

    I, too, am a bit disappointed with the lack of precision in the gimbal/stick input and connected response from the drone. Especially in the yaw axis. Trying to hover and do a simple slow steady pan for video is terribly inconsistent even with the exponential dialed all the way down. Not sure if...

    My mavic 3 sports mode

    Another possibility is high winds aloft. If the surface winds are 15-20mph the winds at 400ft might be double that or more. If you are heading into the wind you might see considerably lower speeds in sport mode. You should be getting a red warning box in the upper left part of your screen if...

    Do you need part 107 to take real estate photos with Mavic Mini????

    If I understand it correctly, the only real loophole to fly for money in the US and be exempt from Part 107 is if you are not in US airspace under FAA regulations; "indoors" or inside an enclosed stadium, for example. I'm not sure how an insurance carrier would adjust the terms of any...
