    fisheye distortion

    This is called perspective distortion. It's law of physics and will appear on photos taken by the best lens on this planet with the exception for tilt-shift lens.

    Sudden drop in video feed range

    May be the phone is the source of interference ? Suggest to turn off all radios of the phone ( cellular, wifi, bluetooth ) and try again.

    Lost Mavic Mini (flew out of control)

    When there is no wind, which is the case here, the tilt direction should be the same as the direction of travel. The difference between the two directions is the yaw error. It can be seen that at the beginning, the yaw error was about 180 degrees so the craft flew almost straight away. After...

    Pre-flight planning

    Its better to check the wind direction and speed with the tilt indicator of the GO app. Take the drone up to the flying altitude above head, hover there and observe the direction and magnitude of tilt. The more the tilt, the stronger the wind. Its far more reliable than any forecast. this metod...

    Can you fly under bridges if you are on one?

    One thing you can try is to set the home point to somewhere away the bridge and the RTH height to be lower than the bridge so that if disconnection occurs, the drone will automatically get out by itself. Of course you have to make sure that the GPS signal will be good enough under the bridge.

    Can you fly under bridges if you are on one?

    Whether the drone can remain connected in the presence of obstacles depends very much on the environment. I have tested it with my M2P in FCC mode inside my apartment. With the drone placed in a room and me holding the controller, disconnection occurred as soon as I got out of the apartment...

    Mavic Air 2 range test with Wetsuit + Rescue Jacket under severe weather conditions.

    The stock controller ( FCC ) can do three times that distance in low-interference environment. The battery is always the limiting factor.

    Another call for location help

    One of the cells in the battery had the voltage dropped to an abnormally low level so the craft could not make it home. Autolanding should have happened but for unknown reasons it didn't. As the battery was in an abnormal state it's hard to project when it became depleted and the drone fell out...
