    This concerns a Mavic 2 Enterprise Dual with a Smart Controller. I've received permission to operate in a restricted geo zone (the 'license' is valid for a year). Soon afterward I saw the need to change some of the geo zone characteristics and received another 'license' for the late location...

    Danger Using Batteries in 'Self Discharge State'

    I think they need to reevaluate how they convey this matter to users. This reads like one of dozens of recommendations, like those you find in many appliance manuals, rather than the extremely important matter this is.

    Thank you, this is very important information! I idle the props until the battery reaches 60%, should have made this clear.

    Hello Friends, I came across this article which claims that it's dangerous to use drone batteries which are in 'Self Discharge State' (batteries which have begun discharging per DJI settings) and that you need to fully charge them prior to use (unless it's a continuation of a previous flight a...

    Is this normal for slightly used drone?

    Thanks. This is the asking price, doesn't mean he'll get it. We're experiencing a shortage of M2 batteries plus with the Mavic 3 out, prices for the 2Pro are going down...

    Is this normal for slightly used drone?

    This is a picture of a used Mavic 2 Pro I'm considering purchasing. Seller (seems legit), says drone flew no more than 10 times and drone looks to be in good shape other than these scratches. Is this normal for this claimed usage? My Enterprise comes with a padded gimbal cover and so mo...
