Tried again.

Sent you a DM the other day.

But DJI has not released the SDKs for many of the newer drones, so third parties like Dronelink and (I assume) Litchi cannot be made to work with the newer drones.

It was my understanding that Dronelink was very capable of smooth flight, or it never would have attracted many subscribers. But I have been sadly disappointed with it on my Mavic 2 Pro. The resulting video doesn’t not match the simulation. It seems like there are uncommanded yaw movements...

I know this is an old post, but that “Mavic 2 Pro Zoom” entry is weird, since there is no such drone.

i recently got a Hiscox Liability policy for my drone activities as a result of reading something here in the forum. BUT, when I got the actual policy documents and examined them, they have an AIRCRAFT EXCLUSION which eliminates coverage for drones! This is despite the fact that I was led to...

Don’t forget to also upgrade your firmware to get the Mavic 2 RID compliant - another requirement to fly legally.

I don’t mean to get too basic, but the LAANC approval is independent of getting DJI approval via an unlock. You need both to take off in controlled airspace - DJI to let the drone fly, and LAANC to make it legal to fly. I went for several years with no problems launching, and then all of a...

Depends upon what you mean by "pointing the controller antennas at the drone". For the original smart controller, you are supposed to expose the flat side of the antennas to the drone, not "point" them at the drone. So if the drone is overhead, the antennas should be straight out, in a...

Saw your response, and wondered what city you're in (PM'd in case you don't feel like exposing it broadly...)

My guess is that most LEO's won't even know what RID is, unless they're part of a drone squad or have a drone themselves.

Vic, not sure I follow. It is registered, and he's using the large battery, so RID is being broadcast, which is how the RID app actually found him. Why would be claim it isn't registered? And if he's using the small battery, and it isn't broadcasting RID, how does the RID app find him? The drone...

I bought a M2Pro back in 2018 I think, and have loved it. Then I bought a backup (used) and have added 2 Zooms as well as a way to stock up on batteries! I have a Mini 3 Pro for when I want a smaller bag to carry, but the Mavic 2 Pro’s are my workhorses. I am intrigued by the Air3S, but I’m sure...

1000 meters? Are you serious? What could go wrong…?
