I’d like to point out that M2 stock props ARE low noise, so there’s no need for anyone to go off searching to replace them with new low noise props if the low noise feature is their only motivation. Read the description of the stock props on DJI’s website and you’ll see they’re described as...

I just passed the 107 today! I used two youtube videos, the 3DR practice tests and bought the $5 Remote pilot app. That's it. I just watched the videos and did the practice tests over and over until I consistently passed them at 90% or better. Probably two weeks studying on and off a couple...

One key point I haven’t seen raised is that in China, the government effectively has a controlling stake in all businesses. This means that even if DJI only gathers data with the intention of using it for growing / improving their business, if the Chinese military decides there’s value in that...

The props on the M2 are low noise. There is no separate version.

They probably just held everything at the depots for a day or two. Keep faith till you know there’s a problem.

It may be delayed a day or two if they had to shut down operations for the hurricane, but unlikely it’s lost. Wait till Monday and check again.

Ease up on the conspiracies. I work in a software engineering environment and can 100% confirm that what usually happens is we’re locked into an immovable release date and things are going swell and a week or two out we discover a bug that absolutely can’t be released because it’s just that bad...

What an absolute cluster !@#$ this thread became. OP, I'm sorry you had to put up with the level of grief some of these folks threw at you. As if it's not enough of a punch in the gut to lose your bird to an accident, but to be constantly cross examined despite you not claiming to be "wronged"...

Mine was confirmed to be bad by DJI and I exchanged it for a new one from amazon (where I bought the fly more kit from). I didn’t even try to put it in my drone because it was acting completely abnormally and the lights I was seeing were about half the normal brightness.

Yeah the first thing I do when I open a new DJI drone is remove the slider. It’s not needed and gets in the way when you want to use a tablet.

It’s in the settings menu. Tap the 3 dots, then the drone icon and it should be in that list. Aside from beginner mode which limits your height and distance, you can use tripod mode by switching the TPS switch on the remote to T. That’ll slow the drone down and make everything super slow and...

We’re all in the same boat. I’m always terrified making my first several flights based on the price of these birds. I laughed at your grade school comment, because the two places I fly most often is after school hour is at the local elementary and middle school fields. Watch the...

Congrats on your new bird! Being a brand new pilot, hit YouTube and watch all the Ed Ricker Mavic videos. The Mavic Pro videos will still be relevant for you. He has several new M2 videos, walks through setting it up and getting started. The pace is slow and easy. He progresses to more advanced...

I was in the exact same position as you. I actually bought the Costco MPP with goggles deal thinking I can live without having the latest and greatest but the more review should and videos and pictures I saw people posting as well as the number of minor improvements and especially the redesigned...

Nice! What camera settings did you use?
