Literally all of my NDs are also CPLs. I can not think of a time when I needed an ND that I did not also need or want a CPL. I suppose an exception might be when stopping down for very long exposures like for hyperlapse at night… otherwise it’s a matter of rotating the CPL for the “most...

Thank You!

I landed in a tree my first week with the Mini 2.... I've also encountered near-miss birds, though no bird strike yet...

So my question is, does care refresh cover if your drone is stuck in a tree too high to recover?

That was WOW. Thoughts: 1) I'm surprised the drone flew so well at such a high altitude. Amazing, that's well above the ceiling for most helicopters. 2) Also, the winds up there are known to be fierce, wondering if any drones were lost? 3) Did they use solar panels to recharge? Wondering...

AH HA... site is kind of picky how media links are formatted it seems. Here it is:

I’m not questioning/doubting, however I’m wondering what column B actually reflects (I.e. is just the time the controller actually wrote to the file?)

That's helpful, to me that means this is the time the controller updates the datafile, but a quesion it raises, is it related to the time the drones sends to data, or is it indicating something else.

Fair enough,,, did you actually see it go down? I ask because the last thing on the log shows it going UP and accellerating.

That was very helpful. Yes, short trees and shrubs, but the terrain is rising. The altitude shown on controller is relative to the home point, which per your video appears lower than some of the terrain you were flying over. But I can see there aren't the kind of trees I thought from the...

As indicated, I am already aware of the things you mention, yes it would show in the logs IF connection was not lost prior to that packet being transmitted. Obviously we know it crashed and the logs say nothing. Therefore something happened. Just because the logs “normally” catch such events...

Okay, the following may be relevant. Or not. 1) There was a small battery imbalance immediately before loss of connection. 2) The drone was in SPORT mode, which disables all the object sensing and avoidance. 3) It was passing a large tree at the time connection was lost, and the altitude was...
