    Hello from Iceland

    Hi Helgi, I visited Iceland with my family a couple of years ago. I brought my MPP with. I was disappointed that most of the scenic places (waterfalls, etc) along the main road did not allow drones.

    Another Drone (Mavic 2) Turning Itself On

    I always put away my MPP without the battery attached to avoid issues like this. woke up this morning and found my mavic 2 pro turned on. luckily i had it out of the case and spread open and the cover off the lens so hopefully no gimble problems or overheating. looks like it was on a while...

    Video working but not recording

    I’ve recently noticed on my MPP Drone that video recording is not posting in the DJ Go Editor. Pictures are posting but not videos. When I click on the record button within the APP, it seems a recording is being done but it doesn’t post to the APP’s editor function. Any ideas what could be...

    Weird RC issues

    I have not flown my MPP on a regular basis. Recently, I attempted a flight. All looked fine for takeoff. But immediately after getting airborne, the drones camera on my iPhone lost the real time view and posted “aircraft disconnected.” I landed immediately. Is it wise to keep flying under these...

    Another Drone (Mavic 2) Turning Itself On

    I like to simplify things. So let me get this straight. Your drone just turned on without you double pressing the battery button that is the normal way to turn your drone on. Right? A while back my drone took off by itself when it was on and just idling. I blamed that on turning off my RC. The...

    Mavic crash into trees

    I really enjoyed your video and was glad your drone came out of this with minimal damage. While playing your video, my golden retriever was right next to me and perked up when he heard the dog barking. So where’s the dog in your video?

    Have you ever forgotten to put your micro SD card back into your drone?

    I’m confused. Why would you need to take the SD card out when you can simply connect the drone to your computer to download files. I have not worked with my drone for a long time so I may be missing something here.

    How do the drones in these light shows fly so precisely?

    I was always wondering about this. Thx for sharing. I honestly didn’t think this was 50 or more individual drone operators getting together for some fun. ?

    Drone Operator paper work (on hand)

    A short while ago, a drone pilot posted a doc that he carries with him when he flies his drone just in case anyone approaches that has an issue with his hobby. I printed the doc and was going to fill in the customized info related to me and my drone. However, two of the fill in boxes were...

    Thinking about getting first drone but nervous about a few things

    I've read this entire string. Great questions and fantastic responses. I own a Mavic Pro Platinum. My first and only drone. Make sure once you purchase your Mini 2 you immediately (within hours) sign up (before your first flight) for DJI’s Care More Insurance package. (I think that's what its...

    Free, all-in-one drone app: Feedback welcome!

    Hello, thanks for letting us know about your APP. I went to the APP store using my IPhone, searched for SkyGrid, but nothing came up. I assumed SkyGrid would be available on iPhone since it’s available on iPad.

    Drone intelligence going to another level

    Thx for sharing. Very cool! Watched the entire TED talk. Drones on steroids.

    They wanted to steal my drone

    If they wanted to steal your drone, isn’t the best way to do that is to first steal your controller? Without the controller, what good is the drone anyway? And yes, I agree that once your drone is up in the air, your hands and mental focus are always on the drone. Red dye spray, Kung fu, or...
