    Mavic 3 Pro hand catch problems?r

    Thanks for sharing, holding down the J stick for 15 sec. I am experiencing exactly the same problem with Air 2S. It doesn't work the same every time. Sometimes it lands after 2 or 3 attempts slowly, but today it came down after 3 or 4 attempts fast cutting my fingers and falling to the ground...

    My SD card is flaking out, what's the good card these days?

    There are Memory Cards being sold on the Internet with very little warranty cheaply. The best is to purchase in a Shop and keep the box as well as the receipt. Most Manufacturers give a 10-year warranty. Search their website, please. I like to buy SanDisk and Extreme PRO is my favourite...

    ND filters numbers

    Hello #Greg Peter, regarding the ND Filters, you only need them for Video because of the rule of thumb you need to set your Shutter speed to double the framerate because we have the Aperture fixed at f2.8. There are many ways you can calculate your Aperture in other to choose the correct ND...

    Still Struggling for distance post FCC Mod

    It's obvious that in a built-up area, it's important to keep eye contact, and personally I try to avoid flying in a built-up area. This thing of keeping the Drone in line of sight for eye contact! I have lost an Air 2 Drone doing exactly that, at 150m away from me. If I were looking at my...

    Air 2s Range

    The DJI Air 2S has a Transmission problem at 400m at the line-of-sight in-between buildings or trees, we lose transmission. It is dangerous and it becomes a Safety factor issue for DJI’s Customers. I hope that they will fix the problem because they have been ignoring it for a long time. I am not...

    New batteries

    200 plus charges! Well here the weather is pretty hot and most of the time the batteries swell up long before 80 charges. Although it reads 97% good on AirData App, I still send it in for cell replacement. I suppose that everyone has their preferences ya!

    What is the maximum VLOS you've ever achieved yourself?

    Good question! I have done VLOS at 450m +- 1500 ft. 45 minutes before sundown on an Air 2S. I tried DJI standard and this Strobe Lights on the front and rear Motor arms and I could clearly see it but we need to keep reference points if we look elsewhere so that it's easily detected again. I...
