    Good comfortable lanyard?

    I just returned that yesterday. Yes, the angle is better, but the brackets interfere with accessing the touch screen and are definiately distracting. Also, I didn't like the double sided tape they use that stick on the glass of the controller. Would highly recommend NOT buying this one. With...

    Mavic 2 Pro Forced Landing - Sunk and Lost in Salt water.

    I too am sorry for your loss. I dropped mine in saltwater this past January. I had DJI insurance and while they won't replace it without getting the damaged bird, they did sell me a M2Z with battery, no other accessories, for a 15% discount. Needless to say, I am leery of flying over water.

    PRIVACY INVASION?

    Not an easy issue. Does the government have the right to monitor the streets with a drone? Is it the same as cameras? Crime control vs.privacy. Where can anyone draw the line? Yesterday, i flew my new M2Z (last one i ditched in the Hudson, remember?) for the first time and I hovered at about 125...

    Long range mission over water

    New2Mavic, please explain why he should be prepared for auto landing, is it activated solely for a low battery or are there other conditions that can cause it to ending auto landing mode?

    Logic to trigger a landing

    You helped me when I crashed my drone into the Hudson River. I have 2 questions on this thread: First, can you explain to a non techie what you are saying in the above post? Second,at what altitude will holding the stick down engage the landing sequence?

    IM SOOOO DEPRESSED

    No, NY. Was in Rockland State Park, i crashed it 30- 40 ft from shore. I don't think it's deep, but the water is brown and very cold. Thanks for the shout out!

    IM SOOOO DEPRESSED

    I am sorry for your loss. It is a very personal emotion and yes, it is depressing when a hobby that you love and count on for relaxation (read fun) disappears before your eyes. I crashed my MZ2 the day after my birthday (about 30 days ago) right into the Hudson River and I am still not over it...

    Are all DJI drones [Pro 2] grounded?

    Hello US Air Creations and welcome to the forum. First, my non drone business gets all its products from China and despite what you may be hearing, very few factories have resumed production, some we learned today have be told by the government to stay closed for up to 2 more weeks. Even if a...

    My Zoom - Crash Evaluation Please

    Thanks, Boss, i guess i wasn't clear. The home point (where i started the flight) had no magnetic interference. I was 40' from any rocks. This is where I calibrated it (the controlled suggested the calibration). i noticed the interference when looking for the downed AC. At that point, i was...

    My Zoom - Crash Evaluation Please

    I went out Friday, Saturday and Sunday with rod and grappling hook in hand and got skunked. The more i think of my behavior, the more I am convinced the controller had an issue. I looked again at the data posted here and i DEFINITELY did not hold the throttle down for any length of time. In...
