    What do you do when you lose line of sight?

    No, in the upper right corner of the “little” map view, is a little circle, push it and little map view changes to radar view. Touch the radar view and it changes back. The radar shows where north is, where the drone is and as you you turn your body left or right, a little arrow will line up...

    Fly as You Are October 30

    Check YouTube for a channel called Battery Mooch, the guy is known as the 18650 god of the Vaping world. He has run extensive testing on most brands of 18650’s and others in the same relative sizes.

    Recommendations for LED Strobe

    So you're basically saying, us hobbyists should get all the night flying in now while the getting is good? Are these strobes good for daytime use, to increase VLOS?

    Heads up on Return to Home Feature!!

    I disagree. It's no more a design flaw than a car with ABS Brakes and a car without. You can afford one but not the other, otherwise, why wouldn't you buy the other model. How is that a bad design? Whats the point of having all features on all models? Better obstacle avoidance cost more money...

    What is the BEST

    I have the SC and I have the iPad mini with sun shade. The SC also has a rubber cover w/sun shade built in. The SC if by far the quickest setup and no muss and fuss. The battery in the smart controller will last me 4 to 5 full Mavic 2 pro batteries worth of flights. I may get 4 using the...

    Is everybody happy with their SC?

    Let me know if you see a PP sun shade, Ive been looking and wound up with the rubber cover/shade thingy from PGY and I’m not happy with it, the shade doesn’t extend high enough for my liking. Still better than others I’ve tried that have thumb screws that go in to the lanyard screw holes and...

    Lost Mavic 2 Pro, battery depleted 1% very 2 seconds on return to home point

    I pushed my limits today with the M2P. I only pushed it because it was a hyperlapse on the way to the home point. I was at picture 180 when i got the notice and canceled that notice. told myself id stop at 200 of 250 pics. I did that and initiated RTH... on its way home, it said enough and...

    My Mavic2 IS DOWN IN THE RIVER

    I agree 100% and as a new M2P owner, I’d like to know where I can find these log files?

    DJI smart controller; my opinion

    I just got my DJISC yesterday and I’m having firmware install glitches trying to upgrade to 1.1.40 or some number similar. It downloaded OK, but it did take a long time. When it gets to the install portion of the procedure, it just sits there for hours at 0%. I’ve removed the SD card and made...

    Neophyte M2P pilot (cough) from S.E. Michigan checking in

    After 15 minutes of total flight time, I decided I needed to read, read and read. The best place for that is from other users. For practice, I also went out and got a Ryze Tello that I could beat to hell at a more manageable price. This thing must secretly be made by Timex, it has taken a few...
