    Imu callibration error

    Update...called DJI, they didn’t attempt to troubleshoot, instead having me return for repair. Hadn’t even flown the drone once. So, might it be a common problem, possibly hardware?

    Imu callibration error

    Alvaro/others, did you resolve the issue? I just got a replacement aircraft, have successfully calibrated the IMU, several times, restarted, etc, and still get the IMU error. Any help is appreciated!

    What is your time and effort worth

    Is there a site where drone photographers can offer their services? I’m in south Utah, and we travel in our RV full time, and arm not interested in competing with or eroding the rates of professionals who do it for a living, so I would try to keep rates in line with industry averages. I would...

    Never fly on the border of a "No Fly Zone"

    Interesting but my first thought was, was the return AGL compatible with height of building you launched from and was the drone returning home at an altitude above the top of building, or would it have just to climb above 400’ to do so? Glad you were still able to retrieve it!

    Flying in restricted zone.

    What’s best iPhone app or source for sectional charts for a general area not necessarily around an airport? Just want to see boundaries of any MOA’s, and restricted areas, on my phone.

    New Mavic 2 Pro Owner

    Hi Thomas B, you mention deserts of Arizona. Are you ever/will you be in the Quartzsite/Parker/Lake Havasu area any time during the next 2-3 months, and if so, do you ever have someone along to learn and pick up some tips and tricks? I'm 107 certified but just getting into my M2P. Would love...

    Mavic 2 Pro is on tight leash when just flying with Controller? (without smartphone)

    Adiru, it would make sense that drone flight distance would be limited without the phone app, as it would not have access to maps or GEO Zone boundaries. That said, I've participated in some threads regarding the Smart Capture hand gesture operation feature of the Mavic Air, so since it's...

    Hand Gestures Feature

    You're absolutely correct about testing the mode before biking! It indicates the MA will fly away max 19.7' and min 6.6'; you have to stay within 23' to maintain hand recognition. Manual also recommends using prop guards in this mode. It also mentions "Face Aware" so it might need to see...

    Should I buy the Pro 2 with or without the Smart Controller?

    Didn't know that...thanks for sharing Dan!

    Should I buy the Pro 2 with or without the Smart Controller?

    Ordered M2P with Smart Controller after over two weeks of debate. Think I will benefit from the better/brighter screen, quicker setup, and using one piece vs assembling and wiring the different parts. Also figure that OcuSync might work/perform better on it (can't say that for sure). Will be...

    Should I buy now or wait?

    B&H has the M2P Fly More kit for $333 and Best Buy will match it.

    Hand Gestures Feature

    Very nice footage. I can see why and how hand gesture control can be useful. Wish it were more popular and included w/ M2P.

    Hand Gestures Feature

    Wondering why I don't see more talk about the Smart Capture hand gestures feature in the MA...do many of you all use it? Does it work as designed? I was going to order an Air mostly because of this feature...figured it would be a nice way to take selfies and group pictures during our travels...

    First timer - Mavic Air or Pro 2

    I've also asked around and the majority of folks recommend going Pro 2! Would have liked the smaller size, lower price, and the Smart Capture Hand Gestures mode of the MA, but will appreciate the much quieter operation, additional sensors/obstacle avoidance, and far superior camera. I actually...

    A moment at Key Largo

    We lived in S Florida and used to dive and go boating often in the Keys...brings back memories! Great footage and music! Hope you enjoyed your visit.
