    Landed then drifted?

    There's speculation and there's experimentation. I'm still inclined to attribute the OP's landing issue to something other than wind. DJI Neo, 19" box fan on maximum speed, flagging tape extends 12" from fan.

    Mavic 2 Pro ~ Returned with Firmware Update :-( Now What?

    What tax is based on RID? The $5/person for three years registration fee that can be used on many drones was there long before RID? What has been added?

    Mavic 2 Pro ~ Returned with Firmware Update :-( Now What?

    Remote ID is unique to drones and not the same as the ADS-B that most manned aircraft use. They're entirely different systems that do no interact.

    Landed then drifted?

    The thin plant stems and leaves in the video don't suggest any significant wind. And, besides, the drone is capable of holding its lateral position with substantially greater winds. Loss of visual positioning on the table surface seems like the more plausible explanation.

    No Cine mode?

    Max speed, yaw rate, rate of gimbal tilt and other parameters are separately adjustable for each of the three flight modes. Have a look at the manual. It sounds like the settings have been tinkered with.

    Mavic 2 Pro ~ Returned with Firmware Update :-( Now What?

    Any worms in that can are 99.9% mythical. Update the controller and go flying.

    Mandated National Security Risk Assessment of DJI drones

    Someone could call and check on them. No, wait. There's no phone number. There's no street address, either. Not even a state or country. The page content is rife with typos and layout problems, another sign that it's not real. Here's the heading on INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. These scammers...

    Mandated National Security Risk Assessment of DJI drones

    dji-us.com does not appear to belong to DJI's site. It's definitely not their primary website - dji.com. For one thing, the domain name was just registered on July 1, 2025. You might want to call your credit card company about that purchase. It appears that you've been the victim of a shyster.

    My "lightweight" solution to charging batteries in the field

    Thanks. Makes sense. Those batteries hold about 95.3 Wh. So, taking the power station down to near 0 SOC would charge 10 if there's not much loss. I've been looking at a much smaller and less sophisticated power station someone gave me and I'm seeing only about 50% useful output compared to...

    Smooth landing on roof, but now it's at an angle

    I've made no career changes. I'm just trying to understand the statements you make for the product. I'm particularly puzzled about how the Rescue Jacket could change the landing control logic for the motors.

    Smooth landing on roof, but now it's at an angle

    I can see how the Rescue Jacket makes operation from water possible, but I don't understand some of the other things. How does the it influence the control logic of the motors and the down-looking sensors to allow the drone to hover at lower altitude without triggering auto-landing? Or not...

    Smooth landing on roof, but now it's at an angle

    If the drone is inclined relative to the bottoms of the foam blocks, it would reduce the angle from horizontal facing one way and increase the angle facing the other way.

    Smooth landing on roof, but now it's at an angle

    Having the uphill end thicker and the downhill end thinner causes the drone to be at a greater angle off horizontal
