    Stutter and Pixelated

    Son of a gun! It is smoother than what I see on my PC's. Thanks for the reply and I'll see what I can find that may cause it on my PC but not on YouTube. Ed

    Stutter Video Here's a sample via YouTube. I describe my computers in the video notes but here's a copy. Thanks for responding! Dell XPS 8700, Intel Core 7i4770 processor, 32 GB RAM, 64 bit OS and my new HP laptop with similar config except Core 5. Does the same when playing from high...

    Stutter and Pixelated

    I've reset my Mavic 2 Pro camera settings to "default" and am still getting lousy video. I'm using high end micro SD cards and internal storage gives the same result. Should I send it in for diagnosis/repair? D:\Videos D Drive\Mavic Drone\Dembsky Reunion\4 July Lake Pepin\DJI_0350.MP4

    Stuck at Safety Notification

    I had this warning issue today. Even with a shroud over my IPad Mini I couldn't see the check box required to be filled before answering "Yes". I was surprised to see the warning as I had used AirMap App before takeoff. It showed me clear of any airspace of issue (5.3 miles southwest of Silitz...

    DJI Assistant 2.0.6 on Windows 10 kaput?

    I had this issue today. I spent hours reviewing related posts, some of which included scary instructions on registry modification. I tried the program on both my desktop and laptop with the same results. None of the security (Windows Defender) workarounds overcame the problem. I decided...

    Unable to start propeller manually

    That's it. Pitch is airspeed, power is altitude. I've several thousand hours in light airplanes, a couple hundred more with RC, and ,flying a drone for the first time, controls seemed quite natural to me.

    Firmware Update Fail - Network Disconnected - Restart Equipment

    What you write makes sense. I'll clear the cache and try it next time there's an update. I went straight to Assistant for the most recent one.

    Abandoned Airports

    Using AirMap Android version I am alerted to an airport (Gopher Gulch) at 44 5'48" M 121 20'17" W and within 2 miles of my intended flying location. A review of FAA data bases and Sectional Aeronautical Charts show Gopher Gulch (perhaps formerly designated as OR29) as abandoned. It appears on...

    Messed up the gimbal?

    I finally got to fly briefly today - gale force winds and heavy rain on the Oregon coast kept me grounded until I returned home to central Oregon yesterday. All is well with the gimbal on a short test flight. Had problems with Mag Interfer that was likely due to change in location after my...

    Seniors; What aides have you come up with to help you enjoy flying more?

    A director style folding chair and an understanding wife to place and retrieve the drone (I'm using a knee scooter to get around).

    Messed up the gimbal?

    Many thanks for the suggestions. I've posted a short video clip on YouTube and attached a Remove Before Flight streamer to the cover. I haven't found a gimbal calibration setting yet but plan to do an IMU calibration and try flying again later today.

    Messed up the gimbal?

    I flew my Mavic 2 Pro for the second time today. I'm out on the Oregon coast and thought the beach the perfect open space to learn basic flying skills. Problem - I left the gimbal cover on during first 4 minute flight. I didn't see the overload warning for a few minutes as I was too focused on...

    Hello from Central Oregon

    Cool. We typically stay in Pacific City but frequently drop south. We were staying at an RV park in Lincoln Beach last September and first saw the Mavic in action, filming whales with Active Track!
