    Pro tip to charge Mavic 3 battery faster (1 hour 36 min -> less than 1 hour)

    Okay, thanks for the useless passive-aggressive answer. Let me rephrase then: "does the Apple 96W USB-C charger (for Macbook Pro) support PPS? Or am I only going to get the 65W charging with that?".

    Does the Apple 100W USB-C charger (for Macbook Pro) support PPS? Or am I only going to get the 65W charging with that?

    Haven't used my Mavic Pro 2 in a year - are my batteries toast?

    For various personal reasons, my drone hasn't really been out of storage for a year. That includes my 4 batteries. I'm looking to start flying again - but will the batteries be OK after presumably having discharged over the last year? Or should I not risk it (and get... expensive...

    strobes?

    Does this positioning interfere with photos at all? (Do you get any of the strobe light washing out the photo, for example)?

    Changing height

    The altitude displayed in the application is always relative to your home point (where you took off). So if you walked down 30m, the drone’s altitude would be -30m. If you then hit Return To Home (with RTH set at 30m), the drone will rise a total of 60m (to 30m above the takeoff altitude) and...

    A very strange event

    I’ve observed this too. Almost crashed into a tree. I was using tripod mode to avoid any risks!

    What have you named your drone?

    Mine's "Droney McRikFace 2" and I'm very proud of his name. -Rik

    Active track stops for small branches

    Here's a walking example. My Mavic did pretty great. Lost me once around a corner and did a little gardening early on.

    What happens when you lose RC signal totally?

    Does anyone know if the Mavic 2 engages APAS and moves around obstacles in RTH?
