I guess in Telluride the town has authority over the FAA and can control the local airspace? Plenty of spots near the town which are national forest and would I guess be ok to launch from and would give a view of the town albeit from a distance. Unless the town also considers they control...

Since the MP2 will give you the error message "compass needs calibration" if you: 1. have not flown the drone in over 30 days, 2. Have moved more than 31 miles since last flight Is the recommendation not to proceed with a compass calibration? It only takes about 15 seconds and if you don't...

You said screen of controller. Are you using a smart controller? Or phone? If a SC the grey screen is a common issue. Always turn on the controller first then the drone. Seems to alleviate this issue. Usually if I get the grey screen I just reboot the SC with drone on. If you are using the...

I agree the GPS-45 was an amazing device. Game changer. Put Garmin in first place and they are still there. Interesting story also about your captain. Thanks for sharing. Paul

I had the exact same thing happen a while back. See this post. https://mavicpilots.com/threads/aircraft-disconnect-mid-flight-no-signal-strength-or-other-errors.118039/ The sceeen you showed with aircraft disconnected is what I got also. I did not check to see if the green light on co...

DJI has always been much more focused on video, than stills. The fact that they have never given the camera a 1 stop exposure bracket, instead of 0.7 is an example. This is a very simple thing to fix as the sensor supports it. DJI also has never IMO really worked the best of the M2 Pro sensor...

It will be most visible in those type of situations, at least from my experience, where you have a slighter sky, or white sky due to fog or clouds. It will also show up on the corners on a blue sky at times, very dependent on the light and angle of sun. On the M3 raws I pulled down from...

What you are seeing is lens color cast, it's a problem with any lens that is close to a sensor. The closer your lens is to the sensor, the more prone you will see this. With Medium format Tech cameras, the problem is fixed with a LCC (lens cast correction) process. This involves taking a off...

I have 2 of Msinger's card removers, they work great, carry one with each drone as I pull a card after each flight, never know when you will have a problem, lose the drone etc. and if the card has multiple flights, all is gone. Cards are cheap, and these tweezers make removal much easier...

Which drone? Which software, fly or go4. I am running M2P with latest firmware with SC and not seeing this. Paul

Thanks for the information. One thing I did not think of was to look at the SC to see if the Green light showing connection was still green, or if it had turned red. If it was due to a app crash, on the SC, that's a first for me. It's been very reliable. This is one issue I still like the...

This is the 3rd dat file, compressed to a zip. It's 13.5MB in normal size. Thanks Paul

https://www.phantomhelp.com/LogViewer/Q0HNNTP8LBACLI9Z78YR This morning I had a strange issue during a flight. About 1/2 way into the flight, while in the middle of setting up for a series of pictures, the aircraft disconnected. I was using the Smart Controller and flying a Mavic 2 Pro. I...

Been in use since announced. Never any vibration issues. M2P. Paul

Which Drone? I would consider purchase of a simple lens cleaning cloth, similar to the one you would use on eye glasses. The Wipe you mention may work, however they can and will leave streaks, thus you need to do a final wipe with a cloth designed not to scratch a lens. Something like...
