    DJI Care to Cover Fly Aways?

    I’m not real clear on their reason for wanting you to register your remote along with the AC. I don’t expect my remote to fly away, and there isn’t a replacement plan for a lost RC. This isn’t a gift from DJI, they stand to gain something from this. Maybe I’m just skeptical.

    Because apparently I'm an idiot and can't remember to take my gimble cover off.... I found a solution.

    Just another version. Fiberglass reinforced tape with the end painted orange. Drone is highlighted with fluorescent yellow duct tape. Not necessarily pretty or stylish, but it shows up well.

    Washington State "outside the boundaries of the property"

    I’m new to drones and still learning. So much to know and every time I turn around I wonder if I made a correct choice in purchasing my MA2. A neighbor whom I’ve been friends with for 20 years threatened me with arrest and a lawsuit for harassment after flying my drone over or near his property...

    Gimbal cover

    After forgetting to remove it more times than I’d like to mention, I decided to make it really obnoxious. It’s helped.

    Smart Controller strap attachment mod

    I wasn’t looking for better balance, just a simple neck strap that wasn’t bulky or heavy. Different strokes for different folks I guess. Are you saying I wasted my $1.00? Or that it won’t work?

    Smart Controller strap attachment mod

    I spent a good amount of time looking at all the options for attaching a neck strap to the back of the Smart Controller. For such a simple item, I didn’t like the cost of some of them. I’ve got numerous old neck straps lying around, I just needed the attachment points. I particularly didn’t like...

    Zoom

    Haha! Thanks for the info and the warning. I agree, it would be nice to have the Zoom capability in photo mode for the very reasons you mentioned. I don’t anticipate using the video mode much as I prefer still shots, so it will usually be in that mode. O’well. I must have been imagining things...

    Zoom

    After searching the forum I think this answers my question. I just have a few flights on my new MA2 with the SC (purchased as a package), but I could swear I could zoom the camera on photo mode AND video mode on an earlier flight. I can’t seem to do it in camera mode now, only video mode. Does...

    Smart Controller Mavic Air 2 Zoom function?

    Hello All, first post for me. Try as I might I cannot figure out the zoom function for my MA2 with the SC. The right Camera Settings Wheel, when set to video / 4K Zoom, adjusts the zoom just fine. But when it’s switched over to camera mode, it doesn’t. The funny thing is it was working on my...
