    They wanted to steal my drone

    It's amazing how much an orange vest with an ID hanging off it and a few cones help. Suddenly you're "official." Still attracts attention but its a bit more cautious.

    If you have a Mavic Pro 2, is it worth getting a Mavic Air 2?

    Mavic Pro 2 = 1” sensor, Air 2 = 1/2” sensor. Why downgrade to a sensor 1/4 the size? Maybe as a less expensive replacement for a totaled MP2.

    Walking the Drone

    Well, it it gets away from you you'll know where to find it, unlike the dog.

    Stealth Propellers

    Ken Heron just demonstrated them on his YouTube channel. He did break one but said something about it being good that it broke as opposed to damaging a motor or other expensive drone part. Still flew even with the broken prop.

    Mavic Air 2 (just confirmed by FCC)

    I wouldn't be surprised if it came with a new app. Far be it for DJI to consolidate their software

    A crazy lady smashed my drone

    We had a method but all the warning labels on every device we can possibly buy, rent, ride or use is keeping them in the pool rather than letting nature take it's course.

    APRIL FOOLS

    Dang it! Today is the 8th and I missed it. I guess I'll have to wait til next year to try taking those cloud top pictures. :(

    Mavic Pro vs Spark

    Two thoughts, first there is nothing to indicate which video is which; second even if it had been labeled, YouTube compression tends to crush the details. As was started above, what are we supposed to be looking at?

    Glasses/contacts-DJI or other grand

    I know you can ware glasses (modern, not the huge style from the 80's that seem to be making a comeback, akk!). I've never been able to ware contacts so I have to leave that to others who have the answer.

    Things not to do whilst flying your drone...

    You can't just leave it like that. We have to know. Did your nephew damage the drone? :cool:

    Things not to do whilst flying your drone...

    It recorded up to about 2 seconds before the crash. I think the battery decided to abandon ship early on. I learned about the recovery trick later.

    SIM card needed for my tablet to work properly with my RC?

    I would try it on 3 if you don't have sim currently in use.

    SIM card needed for my tablet to work properly with my RC?

    I use an iPad without a sim all the time. Question is do you have a GPS module on the tablet? The iPad does and my phone of course does when I use it. If the tablet does not have native GPS then it would not know where it is at any particular time.

    Flying in/around fog?

    One other thought and I have no idea if it will work. @waylander brought up some concerns. Perhaps running it for a while to let it warm up inside will help, maybe run through a battery before hitting the fog. Water condenses on cool surfaces, if the electronics are warm it may avoid this...
