    Insurance?

    Hello, it’s been a while. Approx a year next weekend that I had a crazy issue with my air 2 and it was completely destroyed. I have come to the conclusion that the incident first occurred due to using my ipad gen 5 and as most iOS users know anything over 3 years old seems to start having its...

    Air 2s crash - looking for the cause

    I must add that I will be stealing and using your words probably on a daily basis. To quote “ like a monkey on meth.” has to be one of the greatest phrases to describe someone that I have heard in a long time

    Finally first day with refresh MA2 replacement, SHOULD'VE STAYED IN BED

    YES, and thank you for suggesting to check all the setting and calibrations as that is very important to do. I did all the calibrations, checked for updates, this was the second battery with the new drone, prior to this flight I had a full battery worth of local sensor testing with obstacles on...

    Finally first day with refresh MA2 replacement, SHOULD'VE STAYED IN BED

    in reply to vlos, I mentioned that my wife was at the location and was watching the drone overhead doing weird things and she thought was just taken pictures of them, we were on cell speaker communication, yes I do fly with 2 -3 mile lights and I attached pictures there is also a picture of...

    Finally first day with refresh MA2 replacement, SHOULD'VE STAYED IN BED

    Thinking back at previous flights and the return to home feature, I recall but maybe I’m wrong, while in rth mode I was able to increase the speed and possibly the altitude and the drone would stay in rth. To cancel return to home it would require me to manually press the screen, in this case...

    Finally first day with refresh MA2 replacement, SHOULD'VE STAYED IN BED

    I also saw many attempts of return to home, every time I would receive a video feed I would put try to get it into return to home, but the lag or frozen screen was terrible, then would have a black disconnected screen. It was partly cloudy out and yes I was higher then any obstacles, I did put...

    Finally first day with refresh MA2 replacement, SHOULD'VE STAYED IN BED

    I think I may have posted this yesterday in the wrong forum: As post suggests it was a bad day. Finally got the replacement drone all set up and had a free day, so lets fly. The first battery ( which was replaced by dji back in February for free, no questions asked, so they took responsibility...

    The drone was brand new, I received it this week through the refresh plan, that’s what is so concerning. It was only my 2nd battery worth of flying

    6month old M2P battery wont charge

    Same on my ma2 battery, I realized it wouldn’t charge and knew it had a 6 month warranty, but stupid me thought it was Jan 18 when it was actually Dec 18th ( the 6 month date), and I got busy with life and kept forgetting to put warranty claim in, thinking I would do it right after the holidays...

    help, just got my mini last Friday and its grounded. I cant trust it, it wants to flyaway.

    HEY, you just gave me the greatest idea, Wanna go in as partners? THE DRONE PERFORMANCE DYNO MACHINE. Like dynos used for cars, you got the straps concept ready, we can secure them to posts that have thrust sensors ( an some top secret proprietary patented sensors that we we can show all...

    Has anyone mounted a strobe to the bottom of your MA2?

    Try the softer foam style tape with the strong adhesion, you can work the foam tape into more indents / crevices. Crazy thought, may work better in the spring, but putting the easy remove 3m command strip tape all around mt drone and see how many bugs I catch, lol actually may try it

    Has anyone mounted a strobe to the bottom of your MA2?

    ok that makes sense, still another option is adding some reflective decals stripes, they are made in many colors, and the reflection off the water with cause the decal to light up, Thats also in addition to the strobes
