Hey congratulations! That is great news! Thanks for the heads up on the electronic stuff, too!

I thought that, too, but I looked up the temporary program and the way I understand it it only applies to part 61 and reverts (UAR). If they would do it for UAG, however, I'd be on it in an instant!

Are you recertifying or taking the test for the first time?

Of course! Have fun! :-)

DJI will most likely financially settle with Autel without pulling stock. The Autel pricing is still on their web site, as of right now. The dual still says "contact" etc. A few shops have stock from what I understand although I don't pay close attention to it.

Looking at the manual, it appears as though waypoints are only supported in Hyperlapse mode on the MA2. You can use POI in Focustrack, but that will only orbit a single POI. You may look into Ground Station Pro (GSP), which is a DJI iPad app that supports missions and waypoints. It would take...

True that! :-)

I can't remember where I read this, I know it was from a DJI manual but don't recall which... It is important to let the drone hover at 7m or below for a few seconds if you want to record an accurate home point with the vision sensors. I guess the drone needs time to assemble the patterns...

Yes, one battery at a time. It starts by charging the battery with the most remaining charge, then works down from there.

I own both the M2Z and the M2P, in addition to the Smart Controller. Personally, I've decided not to purchase the MA2. 48MP is great, but since it is a Quad Bayer filter in the sensor, you need a lot of light for properly exposing the shot. With the M2Z, you can create a true 48MP image with...

The Sony Quad Bayer sensor is really impressive, but I'll stick with my Mavic 2 Pro. While I agree about the depth of field, the more I fly my M2P the more I appreciate having the variable f-stop while in the air for exposure adjustments, primarily for video so I can maintain the 180 rule. I...

The only advantage I can see for the P4v2 is that it has a mechanical shutter and also supports the 4K 60fps video mode. The mechanical shutter can be an advantage for some mapping applications from what I understand. I have a M2P and am quite happy with it, no plans for the P4v2. Portability...

Quick question... how do you transfer the DJI care refresh to a new owner? I thought I read somewhere DJI did not allow that? I'm thinking about selling my M2 Zoom and have care refresh, that would be a nice benefit for the new owner.

Thanks for the information. I've installed my update but haven't been able to fly as yet. Looks like it could really be handy as several have said.
