    State Farm claim? Will homeowners go up?

    Been with State Farm for 33 years for Homeowners, cars and PAP. Had claims totaling $11K on two incidents in the past 5 years. Still with State Farm and premiums remain unchanged. Each state does regulate the insurance carriers and how they operate in that state. Many factors can go into...

    Smart Controller and Wifi 6/6E

    I know the current SC operates in Wifi 5 (802.11/ac) in the 2.4ghz or 5.0ghz frequency. Wifi 6 (802.11ax) seems to be picking up steam as more devices are gaining Wifi 6 and with the advent of Wifi 6E knocking on our door, seems like a new 3rd frequency band (6.0 ghz) is coming. Any one know how...

    Firmware updates

    Assuming your referring to the DJI Controller or Smart Controller connected to the craft. There is an area in both controllers where you can press “Update Firmware” forcing the unit to check for latest Firmware and apply. There are other “Updates” to check as well for craft and battery. It’s...

    Care Refresh Purchase Hassles

    I bought my M2P drone in May. I did not get the DJI refresh and honestly did not know about it. Had a crash in September....my fault. What did DJI do ? They actually treated me very nice and charged me $87.00 for a new craft. The craft seemed to be new and not a refurb. Upon receiving the new...

    DJI REFRESH WORTH IT?

    One thing to point out...each state runs and dictates insurance departments, appointments and licensing making each state potentially have different coverages and types of policies. With that said, in Ohio, increasing premiums on auto insurance must be directly related to your driving history as...

    I find Windows 10 Pro better than Home version. You are correct on the internet speed.

    Looking for a new Laptop computer

    I have ICloud (Apple) and OneDrive (Microsoft) on all laptops and computers. You can copy and paste from icloud to OneDrive ( visa versa) if changing operating systems. If not changing systems , just use the appropriate cloud service to transfer.

    Looking for a new Laptop computer

    I guess you need to decide IOS or Windows. I have both...IOS in a Mac and Windows in laptop and desktop at work. I use the Mac for entertainment and Windows for business....numbers crunching and the fact most business applications are windows based. With that said, I have Dell XPS 15 laptop...

    Mavic Air 2 with Smart Controller or iPad Mini?

    Seems like you are rationalizing why everyone should not consider or use the SC and discredit those that are current users of it. The SC has not been available long enough for the vast majority of DJI owners to use it, so less owners may be using it and are asking about it. Those that are...

    Mavic Air 2 with Smart Controller or iPad Mini?

    I’m recreational. One other thing, I think the screen on the SC is much easier to see in the sunlight.

    I had my first crash

    I paid $87 for a replacement unit (no battery). I noticed the gimbal protector had the softer insert as well. I purchased the Refresh afterwards.

    I had my first crash

    It was the one and only time I hit RTH...I think I panicked on the low battery and being near a large lake. Probably a newbie mistake. DJI sent me a card with RTH info and limitations along with replacement. Tech was very informative, extremely nice and very knowledgeable on the detailed...
