    Seniors; What aides have you come up with to help you enjoy flying more?

    The Epson Moverio glasses are very good but but also very expensive. No problem seeing the display even in bright sunlight with the sun overhead like it so often is, here in the Philippines.

    Which sensors to disable for hand launching and catching?

    I agree. With M2P it works well and feel safe. You can take your time and make sure your hand is in exactly the right position.

    Which sensors to disable for hand launching and catching?

    Turning off Landing Protection seems like a better option to me.

    Hand catch boys - anyone here ? What about VPS in Mavic 2 ?

    They seem pretty sharp to me when they are really spinning. Wear a glove or turn off Landing Protection.

    Hand catch boys - anyone here ? What about VPS in Mavic 2 ?

    I agree - disable landing protection. I tried several times hand-catching with LP on. I am expecting the lacerations to eventually heal. The worry is that your hand might not be directly under the centre of gravity. THis happened to me. I made a grab for the bird before the props were...

    Video settings, 5-way and AE Lock.

    The Mavic 2 Pro is even better that my previous P3 And M1P. A miracle machine. I thought I would relate my suggestions for exposure control. With so much to think about and the limited flight duration, I find it too cumbersome using full manual control and having to move in and out of the...

    Does leaving gimbal clamp on damage the gimbal?

    I sprayed my clamp dayglo orange so that it can't be ignored or overlooked.

    Moverio a huge letdown so far

    To make the image very much brighter, just place some black electrical tape on the glasses behind the projected image on both sides. It makes the background black and you don't miss being able to see through that small area.

    So much glare, I can't see the screen...

    The best solution I have found so far, is the specially made rectangular hood which fits a 5.5 inch phone. It is inexpensive and well made. It is about 5 inches deep - phone surface to hood top. This is available from Amazon and other vendors. You can use the touch screen through a window in...

    Preflight check list. A short & simple one.

    Here are my checklists for stills and video. I do not list the more obvious things like drone condition, Return Home setting etc. I just list the items which are very easy to forget with the excitement of getting airborne. I mount this on a small piece of card with Stills on one side and Video...

    Obstacle Avoidance problem with sun in Mavic Pro

    It happens to me too. It sees the low sun as an obstacle. Fly backwards? Switch to Sport mode? Turn off obstacle avoidance?
