    iphone screen goes black during flight, possible disconnect?

    Hi Chris. I think the app closed or crashed because I think I had to go back into the app when I turned my phone on because I was at my home screen. It's hard to remember exactly because it made my heart skip a beat. That had never happened before. I'm just trying to learn/understand to avoid...

    iphone screen goes black during flight, possible disconnect?

    I'm trying to understand what happened during my flight today & hoping someone can help me. I've had my Mavic 2 Pro for two years and never had this issue. I was at 98 ft, 1.38 min into the flight, my iPhone 7 screen goes black and I was able to use the remote control to bring the drone back to...

    Electromagnetic interference with sticks on Skywatch app

    Hi. I was using the Skywatch app to do some aerial work at a property and as soon as I took off, I got a message saying "electromagnetic interference with sticks" regarding the remote controller and it told me to move to a different location. I tried multiple locations around the large yard and...

    Thanks! No problems. I started at the street and then went to the back corner and then ventured into the middle of the yard just to see if there would be any signs of interference. I stayed lower just in case I needed to land quickly but the Mavic worked like a charm.

    I got my first aerial photo job under my belt! Woo Hoo! It was a beautiful day to fly and everything went well. I really appreciate you all on this forum. It is great to have people respond that want to help and encourage those of us who are new. Thank you!

    Sounds good. I walked the property today so I know exactly where the power lines are and I've already got two areas selected that I can fly from that are some distance from the power lines. My biggest concern was any interference (things I can't see) that would cause a problem. Thanks for your help!

    It sounds like you are very knowledgeable but you just completely lost me! I'm a female drone pilot and I'm new at this. Is there any way you can put that in terms that a woman would understand? LOL. I was at the house taking the real estate photos today (it was too windy to fly). The owner of...

    Need guidance on first aerial photo job

    I plan on keeping my distance from the wires...I was wondering if I end up with compass errors, erratic movements or magnetic interference while I'm in the air, any suggestions on the best way to handle that? All of my practice flights so far have been uneventful. Just trying to have a plan if...

    Need guidance on first aerial photo job

    I'm a new drone pilot and I have my first aerial photography job to photograph the triangle shaped property. (See attached) There are some power lines that run parallel along the long side of the property and I'm wondering how this is going to affect my drone or compass. I'd hate to crash on my...
