    Hello from the vehicle city, Flint, Michigan

    Welcome to the forum. My uncle worked at the AC Spark Plug plant back in the day so I spent a lot of summer days up in Flint.

    Mini 2 or Mini 3 Pro?

    I have a (crippled) Air2s and both the Mini 2 and 3 - and use them all primarily for photography. I love all my drones, but prefer to fly the Mini 3 because of the RC. I live in a warm sunny climate and have trouble seeing my phone screen at times due to the auto-dimming that kicks in when the...

    WANTED- Air 2S

    I have an Air 2s I'm looking to sell. My nephew-in-law crashed it last year when I was back in the states - as documented here: Air 2s crash - looking for the cause I've since had DJI look at it - they replaced the scratched cowling and reset the sensors but quoted me $500 to replace the entire...

    Using one controller with more than phone?

    Thanks. In a test today I was able to fly his drone with his controller. The flight data logged into my DJIFly app as you described.

    Using one controller with more than phone?

    Given that my Air 2s is injured with sensor and gimbal problems (per my previous post) I want to borrow my brother's Mini 2 for an event this weekend. My question is, to do that can I/should I use his controller or pair his Mini 2 with my Air 2s controller? He has an Android phone and I have...

    Air 2s crash - looking for the cause

    I know how to replay a map-based view of the flight by clicking on the flight record in the app. Where would I see the stick movements?

    Air 2s crash - looking for the cause

    I think you're right. I had only seen him fly his toy ATTI drone - at which he was quite skilled. No DJI cover purchased. I bought it in Thailand (where I live) but as I'm in US for a few months I'll wait 'till I return to there have my DJI dealer in Bangkok get it repaired.

    Air 2s crash - looking for the cause

    1. Yes profuse apologies were offered and he offered to pay for repairs. 2. I guess I didn't make it clear in my post - but the swinging action was deliberate as I saw him do the same thing with a toy drone last year at his house. It was a swinging lateral U-shaped arc. I think he did that...

    Air 2s crash - looking for the cause

    Last week at a family gathering I launched my Air 2s, flew around my brother's yard a bit then offered the controller to my nephew-in-law (NIL), a fairly capable drone pilot from what I understood. So he's flying around the yard for a few minutes - doing some circles and other another...

    M2P, One year, 197 successful flights

    1 year and a half with the Mavic Pro. When I first bought it I left it in the box for a month cuz I was so nervous about flying it. After watching a few YouTube videos and reading a bit on this forum I finally flew it and just now logged my 150th eventless flight. Eagerly awaiting the MP3 and...
