    Smart controller

    I have both the MP2 + Smart Controller and they are both great. The only problem I have had withe SC is the time setting but that does seem to have sorted itself out. Both great buys.

    Flying in the cold

    While outside you can wrap the drone in a plastic bag as tightly as possible and then go in. Condensation will form on the outside of the bag as the drone warms up.

    Flying in the cold

    Condensation only occurs going from a cold environment to a hot one which is why your glasses steam up when you come into a house from the cold outside.

    90% to Critically Low in 5 seconds....

    Lucky you for flying 1 and a half minutes. All my 3 batteries did the same but in about 20 seconds from 99% full to critically low. I have written to DJI 3 times and haven't had the courtesy of a reply or acknowledgement of my enquiry. Pretty disappointed as they had only been charged about...

    Mavic 2 Pro - new owner

    Welcome to the M2P!! I loved mine from the first flight! Only problem I have had is that the original batteries all became duds after only 35 charges. Wrote to DJI and never got a reply. Disappointing!

    I know exactly how you feel about flying drones. I used to climb and walk in the mountains...

    I know exactly how you feel about flying drones. I used to climb and walk in the mountains which with age has become increasingly more difficult. However, the other day I drove ¾ of the way up the volcano Hekla (I live in Iceland!) and I was able to fly my drone to the summit! It felt as if I...

    Mavic pro dead battery

    I tried that - absolutely nothing! But thanks for the suggestion.

    Hypothetical: Can the Props on the Mavic Air 2 be started while the aircraft is in freefall?

    Often wondered about this just in case a low plane came near! Now I see that it works I would definitely try it in an emergency - not as you did!!

    So now I’m grounded!

    Stay safe and well.

    Big Birds in Area. Should I fly?

    I live in Iceland and large birds are relatively rare! The little birds can be a real problem though!

    Big Birds in Area. Should I fly?

    I have a couple of times flown over Swans on a lake in the hope that they would be frightened by the noise and take off for me to film them. All they did was watch the drone fly low over them and carried on eating. I flew back over them and they ignored me! However, small birds are another...

    One of the reasons I really love DJI is how they stand behind their product...

    I wish I could say the same. The three batteries I bought with the Mavic 2 Pro have only been charge a total of 30 times each and all have dies completely. I have written 3 times to DDJI and I have not had ones response. Very disappointed.

    M2P Props Lifespan

    I changed mine recently in favour of carbon fibre ones, otherwise they were fine after 2 years of flying.
