    Here are the steps for successful update for the Mavic 2 series 2023

    What's the link to download the Mavic 2 Pro firmware update v01.00.0797? I've just spent a half hour poking around the internet, but can't find the download link...

    Landing DJI drones by hand, does it damage it?

    I never take off my Mavic 2 Pro from my hand. I want both hands on the controller when taking off. If the site is too dusty or sandy, or the grass too high, I'll use my "landing pad" to take off from.

    Landing DJI drones by hand, does it damage it?

    I always try to capture my M2Pro by hand. Thumb, index and middle finger just aft of the gimbel. It is more gentle than auto-landing on a hard surface (concrete, wood, asphalt). My IMU's need recalibrating less often.

    Complete Disconnect with a M2P

    I was forced into buying a Smart Controller after I damaged the one that came with my M2P. I had some minor trouble with the SC from the start. Occasionally not responding sharply, or at all, to control inputs. Then it started to do exactly what you experienced, always while hovering. After...

    Camera Cheat Sheets

    Heed gave great advice above, great post! Just a couple of thoughts. Based on the attached sharpness test, which was posted sometime in October 2019 the Mavic 2 Pro sharpest setting is at f4.0. I don't know who posted it, but I'm grateful that he(?) did, as my tests on the subject were not at...

    Camera Cheat Sheets

    I bought the M2P because it has a great camera. An even greater camera because it came with an (almost) infinitely tall tripod. To make good use of a camera requires study, practice and the ability to see the picture in your mind before you click the shutter. My best mentor always said...

    Nighttime Long Exposure Shots

    Todd, I think I may be awarded the longest active comment award... It's been so long, I MAY have been in Tripod mode, but I don't think it would have made much difference, the air was very calm, and the Mavic was very stable on it's own. No ND filters, absolutely! There wasn't a whole lot of...

    New drone owner! Florida

    A belated Merry Christmas, and welcome! I'm in Tampa. I was forced into buying a SC after breaking my standard controller on a trip to central NY State on my first flight there. Dumb mistake, trying to force an Apple Lightning plug into a Micro USB socket!! It was convenient to use, but I really...
