    Flying under bridges...eek!

    I lost a mavic pro under the Marine Park bridge in Rockaway beach NY. I believe it lost signal and then did return to home and hit the bridge. I didn't do an in depth analysis of the log, but it had lost video at the time.

    Help: how would I get the best videos from mavic 2 pro (DLog) with least effort?

    I am trying to decide between the Mavic 2 zoom or Pro. I've seen examples of wizardry people do with color grading with DLog video, but I don't have much time to play with video processing, and am wondering if there is a free and relatively 'turn key' way to process those videos. I have a...

    Metal interference - would you fly lower in here (see photo)?

    I lost my Mavic flying under the Marine Park Bridge in New York. I was pretty far away (out of direct line of sight, blocked by a sand dune) and the Mavic lost signal when it was under the bridge and sadly it went home by flying up into the bridge. Return to home altitude got me I think.

    RTH Tragedy

    I lost my first Mavic in a similar fashion. I was flying it from behind a hill and I sent it under a big metal bridge. It lost radio contact right when it was under the bridge, and then flew up into the bridge when it tried to return home. I'm not sure what I should have done differently; I...
