    Will DJI make map exeptions for you ahead of travel?

    @PhantomFandom thanks much for the explanation. I went through the steps and will hope for the best!

    Will DJI make map exeptions for you ahead of travel?

    Apologies if I have some of this terminology wrong... I'm traveling next week to a place I have been to several times. There is a GPS map error that marks the Authorization Zone, where I will be, as a No-Fly Zone. It is near a very lightly used unmanned airstrip. When I fly, I'm well below...

    Suggestions for other good M2P forums?

    Good point. I always forget about that one, even though it always pops up when I'm seaching for a topic! :D

    Active Track looks at me but doesn't follow snowmobile ?

    Thanks so much @FoxhallGH. I'm certain that is what happened after reading your description and the drone's behavior. Darn... it was so cold out there I couldn't keep the gloves off long enough to mess around with the screen. I must have missed that.

    Suggestions for other good M2P forums?

    Thanks. I went over there and the last page is people arguing about memory card formats. :D Ahhh, the internet... you can't escape the a-hole know-it-alls.

    Suggestions for other good M2P forums?

    There is some good discussion here but not as much as when the MP came out. Just wondering if a lot of people have moved to FB groups or there are some other active forums to check in addition to this one. Very appreciative of the great tips received here from the regulars. Just looking for...

    Active Track looks at me but doesn't follow snowmobile ?

    Thanks for the reply. That's exactly what I did. Didn't follow me. Kind of odd, but I guess it just doesn't work reliably.

    Active Track looks at me but doesn't follow snowmobile ?

    Has anyone noticed behavior where Active Track will track you but not follow you? What I mean is sometimes it turns to keep you in sight but doesn't actually follow you. This has happened before... In the recent example, I was trying this in bright flat light last week. I wanted the M2P to...

    ActiveTrack Question re. speed surge on rotation

    Pinging my own thread here to see if anyone has noticed this anomaly. Perhaps this should be moved to the "Mavic 2 Pro" board which gets more traffic and is the craft I was flying. ? As I am still confused by this behavior, I avoided this type of Active Track on my trip as I didn't want to run...

    Do thorough checks after any crashes!

    That is a good tip. Thank you. I noticed it was hard to get some of the broken pegs out, while others just dropped out on their own.

    ActiveTrack Question re. speed surge on rotation

    Below is a short clip showing some rotation behavior I’m trying to better plan for. It’s happened before so it isn’t a one time bug... In this example I’m following a slow moving vehicle up a gradual hill. It was tracking fine for a while and then I moved the rotation slider a small amount to...

    Do thorough checks after any crashes!

    I had a crash a few weeks ago with my M2P. All in all it was pretty gentle. I had it on Active Track, and it flew into the upper branches of a small tree while it was rotating around me sidewise. It landed in soft snow on top of grass after tumbling through thin branches... ...one prop was...

    Fly automated missions with Waypoints 2.0 in DJI GO (The Complete Guide)

    It is annoying that even on regular flights, you can't snap a still pictures while taking video. This is common on many cameras and I suspect just shoots of a frame to a jpg file. I know you can get it in post processing, but that is an extra step that limits the ability to quickly share. It...

    What a great write-up. Thank you for putting this together and making it available.

    Police came by my house

    Knock on their door and attempt to have a civil conversation. Best case, you alleviate their fears and they stop calling the police on you. Worse case, no different than where you are right now anyway (as long as you stay polite, informative, overly courteous, etc. And try not to use the word(...
