    MVP 2 Focus and Asteroid feature.

    I have a question - I have a rather small object about 18 inches wide by 6 inches tall and I want to do the Asteroid thing with it. my question is there a way to use Macro focus....enact the asteroid effect/shift off Macro and have it all come out in Focus? Thanks for any advice in advance!!! Bob

    Restricted airspace

    Im sure it serves it purpose for some. I think not letting the drone fly 25 feet above the ground in your backyard is not what it should be doing. In many cases, it prevents responsible people from flying if there is danger present or not. I don't advocate eliminating it I am saying it should be...

    107 for Recreational Flyer & Other Question

    100% agree...I thought he said he was strictly hobbyist. The question I was asking was as rec flyer if someone had an accident, aren't the penalties stiffer if he was a Lisc pilot. By all means get the 107. You will learn many great things.

    107 for Recreational Flyer & Other Question

    I think the best thing about the 107 (IMO) is the thought process it makes you go through when making decisions. How to control your thoughts, how to understand what kind of pilot you are and how to be a good pilot. It is truly very cool and knowledgeable. There is no way I wouldnt recommend it...

    I got bored. Your argument seemed to fall apart on itself. I still believe in the vast majority of the time (unless your on the runway) when you see a plane you get out of its flight pattern the correct action generally is to stay calm and descend. The drone can be on the ground faster than any...

    I like people who make the argument because THEY are making the argument that makes them right. My argument stands and you in the end agreed with me - the safest place is generally on the ground. Geo fencing is training wheels for unqualified flyers. Fly safe fly often.

    Unlock procedure for Mavic 2 Pro (2020 model)

    Just curious....your phone is connected to the controller or are you using the one with the screen integrated? I ask because I had a heck of a time with the one the RC with integrated screen. If your using that I would suggest login in and getting the Unlock downloaded before you set out. I...

    Restricted airspace

    Not to throw gas on the fire....but the only other time I heard of software overwriting a pilots wishes is the Boeing 737 thing....remember when the pilots couldn't undue what the plane thought was the best course of action, and it fell out of the sky killing everyone on board? Software should...

    I agree in safe guards - dont get me wrong but bricking the hardware in my opinion is wrong. It may be the purpose of the software but the software is deeply flawed. IMO.

    Is that really what you think GEO fencing is for "to Keep the clueless and careless out of the sky where they don’t belong." ? So anyone that fly's safely but is grounded by GEO fencing is clueless and careless? I am trying to point out in many cases that GEO Fencing is flawed. Planes can NOT...

    I see your credentials so you know more than I do but I am assuming he has line of site to the drone/plane, you want to keep it up in the air to see what the plane does? Try to guess the planes next move? Maneuver around it? Im assuming the drone is not OVER the aircraft? Maybe I misspoke but...

    Welcome to the horrible world of Geo Fencing brought to you by your friends at DJI. I agree with everyone - take the test learn some things. I also fly very close to Ohare alot (like I shoot across the street at the Hyatt constantly). Now heres what your gonna love - at that location no problem...

    Monitor quality and need- What am I missing?

    Sweet setup. I agree I dont want the expense of the 32 inch monitor and I am not a fan of the "curved" feature. I went with 3 - 27" Benqs. For me I generally use one of my monitors as a TV. The other is a main and the one on the right for Palletes/secondary programs like off and outlook. I am...

    Monitor quality and need- What am I missing?

    My humble opinion...the presets complicate it and is marketing BS. It you want to colorize then do it but it needs to based off of netral grey Your a color guy, grey is grey 125,125,125...hold it up to something you know is actually 100% gray (like a Color card) balance from there. I go for...
