    Store with props on or off?

    Keep it just like it is but install a batter. That will counteract any downward force the prop holders are doing and cancel each other out. I'm a minimalist when I store my Mavic, and I have everything I need in a nice waterproof padded bag. Some of the cases out there are ridiculously expensive...

    Tablet mounts

    I like to use something larger then a tiny iPhone screen so I use my Apple iPad. Until now I have ones that sit the tablet right in front of the remote screen and you cannot see the remote screen at all. There must be a better way. Or eventually a DJI worker will fly one of their drones one day...

    Taking off using joysticks?

    Derr, my bad. I was not pulling them to the OPPOSITE direction. Much easier to take off/land doing it that way. Specially hand catches if a must. Thanks for point that out in detail!

    Taking off using joysticks?

    I've taken off using joystick before ( drop them both down to the right ) and up up away. But I haven't been able to do it since the latest firmware update. I can only take off using the app. I calibrated my joysticks properly and thought of what I can try and stumped. Just got back my drone and...

    M2P battery and transmission range is amazing

    Well, put the video up!

    Do me a quick favor?

    Well, go fool me! Last time ( before it went in for service ) the wire sheathing was bright gray and easily seen against the darker gray. This time the color of the sheathing is almost identical to the to the plastics, so it was hard to see. This may even be a new remote for all I know since DJI...

    Do me a quick favor?

    What the heck, did DJI service forget to reinstall my antenna leads back into the controller???? I can even see the small hole where the wire is suppose to come out of. No wonder why I get video transmission problems. Sub-par service forgetting to put things back together. Could they really have...

    Do me a quick favor?

    I received my Mavic Pro 2 back from service a second time. This time it looks they replaced the entire drone, but I did notice sometihing different with my remote. If several people would take our their remotes and open up your antenna's let me know if you see a silver wire going through the...

    Airdata or Phantomhelp

    Hey, been looking into viewing log play files. Like the software Airdata and/or Phantomhelp. Is one of these better than the other. Airdata you need pay for. Just looking for one which is the most compreshensive and has the best data. Anyone recommend either one? Thanks!

    Why does obstacle avoidance stop the drone for no reason?

    I'm up around 400 feet. Nothing is up there. I'm flying over a lake, flat calm day. Going full speed. Then BAM, obstacle avoidance stops the flight and tells me there is something in font of me. What? I'm flying over a lake at 400 feet, there is not 1 thing over me. Looks like I may have forced...

    Returned Adobe Premiere Essentials and Photoshop 2018 combo.

    True. There are so many open source free applications out there not sure why enterprise ones are hundreds of dollars. Best image editor I’ve used is free. Called Gimp. I’m sure most of you have heard of it. But for video editing with great features VSDC can’t be beat for $20.

    And now they come out with another Mavic Enterprise...

    I know companies need to profit and make money but price gauging on small accessories puts a bitter taste in my mouth.

    Increase Mavic 2 range beyond 8000 meters?

    Thanks. I have one of those screw trays also. One side being magnetic. I’ve built servers and PC’s for years so I should be able to handle it. I have a nice iFixit kit that has all the tools I’ll need, even plastic splungers and such so no scratching the plastic. I wonder what was wrong with...

    Increase Mavic 2 range beyond 8000 meters?

    Was the antenna easy to install mount? Just found out DJI has test my drone and it has already been shipped and will be here on Friday. Hope we have some good weather over the weekend. I'd love to test it out because I know exactly what spot the video "should" disconnect. Hopefully it will fly...

    Increase Mavic 2 range beyond 8000 meters?

    Your video doesn't break up anymore when you added the XR antenna? My drone has been at the DJI service center for 2 weeks now and they are replacing the main controller board. I guess they found issues and a faulty board so it is being replaced. The waiting is killing me since this is the...
