    Possible ESC damage after stopping props with my finger?

    Hello, I know that when the ESC is in trouble because the propellers are not inserted properly or in the proper way, the MA2 and DA2S will refuse to startup. It is a different issue but both issues will lead to malfunctioning ESC so I think your MA2 should be fine as the firware will be able to...

    Atti mode mystery

    I am no expert but my guess is --- the drone could not get any satelites - so it turned into ATTI mode. But then the optical flow sensors could not see a thing (nor could my eyes) and then lost control.

    Travel/Flying with a Drone.

    In general, the best way is to keep your Aircraft in the normal baggage and the LIPO batteries kept with you. You can put each in their small LIPO safe bag with isolating tape stuck on the pins. the individual LIPO safe bags can be kept into a bigger LIPO safe bag with handle for convenience...

    My Mini landed on a dirt road...

    If the mud is damp then let it dry a couple of days in a warm environment. Then take a brush (a make-up brush from your wife/girlfriend will do) and dust your machine. The final touch would be the spray dusters we use for cleaning computers.

    Reluctant to fly over water?

    For sure you will see two blurry blue lumps on both sides of your camera.

    "Over Water" mode for drones

    Cost effective ? well my latest game computer with extra fast CPU and GPU with SSD drives all over the place costed me less than a M2Pro - so why can't we get faster chips there too ?

    TriplTek Tablet, Finally a Solution

    I am not sure about the wisdom to install/run the CPU-Z App just to know you got 8 GB RAM - so why add memory footprint to just know what you already know and clutter your experience with numerous loud Advertisements ?

    Peak District UK - Ladybower Reservoir

    Was your camera set on "Auto" by any chance ? I have found it is better to have the sun/sunlight either behind you or on your sides - this gives a better "white balance" to your video. Sometimes I do two flights - with camera settings suiting part of the waypoints and the second flight will be...

    good cinematic views of an interesting part of the Lake District. the timing is right and the music makes the pictures of the lake even more dramatic. good works.

    Not Just Another iPad Question (Well, kinda.) Mavic Air 2 and Matterport.

    Exactly, what's the use of the first photo - the screen is off, how are we to judge its luminosity.
