    400' AGL... off the top of a hill

    Talk me out of Mavic 2 Pro

    This is very minor but I don't like the close proximity of the return to home and land immediately buttons. Further apart and perhaps red for land immediately. Only made the mistake once and had time to recover.

    Are you making money with your drone?

    Got my first pay job last week updating the aerial photos of a township sewage treatment plant. Total three hour labor from initial meeting to finished product. Paid $600. Next is a regatta with moving targets and water. Stay tuned.

    Hello everyone. I am new here and to the whole DJI world. Over the past two days I've tried a dozen times or so to upgrade my controller to .004. At any given time throughout the process my controller shuts down. Is this normal ? It does not turn back on. With every try I get a failed...

    Hi From Doylestown, PA. USA

    Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. The Mavic 2 pro is my first serious drone. I flew a P3 beater for a short while and took a commercial drone course at University of Delaware. Things are quickly falling into place. Next is insurance. Also I am a builder and pilot of RC giant scale.
