    Did I Purchase a Used/Refurbished Drone ?

    I had the same experience. I found that the dji fly app does lump all drone data into one all encompassing set of Flight data listings. Gets kind of confusing at times.

    Battery Error Code 30068: Battery Installed Incorrectly

    I uploaded a video to YouTube. Sorry about the video quality can't figure out the reason for it. My iPhone 10xs shot clear video but try as I might to find a setting on YouTude to max resolution, I failed to find....link:

    Going Fishing, Southeast Alaska

    Wow again! Your drone really takes some stunning photos. I need to get some filters for my Mavic Air 2. I’m just amazed. This is why I’m wanting to do drone photography in the first place. To see the beauty of the place from a different perspective then what we so hum drumbly take for granted...

    Return to home or Dive to death

    2400 feet. The drone will fly as the bird fly straight back to home at is set altitude. So if you went over the hill and down the back side and lost signal. It would go to 2400 feet and come home. If you set it to 23 feet it would dive to it the ground and hover till the battery ran out and fall...

    Return to home or Dive to death

    Have you descended close by your location with your drone and listed to it and how it sounds. It is working hard trying to stay level and descend at speed. To do this it is powering up and down the propellers in fast succession to maintain fast, level, controlled flight. Drone Ranger...

    Return to home or Dive to death

    I know what Google Earth and other sites say but we have no air port of any nature. There is a hilly pot hole ridden straight section of road going thought a muskeg on it way to Trout Creek. A small salmon stream near by. The last plane to land there clipped a small tree along the side of the...

    Sorry I’m new here and it is taking me for ever to get it in my head that this is a world wide forum. Good luck. How do you tell who is from where. I’m using the MavicPilots mobile app on an IPhone XS. So far I’m in the dark weeds with out a flashlight. Please hit me with high beams or a spot...

    Astrophotography with the air 2 modes?

    Well camera qualities aside. It is true flying looking up with a drone is not happening. But if you think out side of the box. Turn your drone on and set qit up somewhere pointed at the nights sky and get all your settings where you like them and get the best photos you can. I’ve seen some...

    Bssic pilot license

    You need a 107 UAG Drone Pilots license and a business license. Other then that it’s up to your skills as a pilot and your ability as a camera operator. And from experience log and plot out your shots video angles and camera settings to keep your footage consultant and professional. Start by...

    Battery Error Code 30068: Battery Installed Incorrectly

    From what I understood this system was designed to stop drones falling from the sky if the batteries became dislodged in flight. Though I find it frustrating when it happens before a flight, one more thing to fuss with on preflight. Stubborn clips sensing. My batteries have no swell are perfect...

    I almost lost it !!!

    Yes you were lucky. Turn on obstacle avoidance. Bypass or brake, not off. That being said, I have found narrow things, poles, branches, small tree trunk (2”-3”) tree trunk, I have hit. The only setting that works reasonably reliably is brake. As this will stop the drone from getting to close...

    Battery Error Code 30068: Battery Installed Incorrectly

    I have had the same trouble but just as I was going to send it to the recycling bin. I found a forum that simply said “Slap the Battery Home”. Sure enough the battery worked and the flight restrictions were lifted. I’m assuming that the side buttons have to make contact with the copper contact...
