    Do Bright Skins Make Visibility a Lot Better?

    I think I have read most of this topic and having just purchased a Fire Technology from USA a strong strode with a plastic attachment to attach to the underneath of my Mini2. I was really pleased when I fixed it and weighed it, and it was just 250gms, and sometimes it drifted into 249. My joy...

    Do Bright Skins Make Visibility a Lot Better?

    I have read with interest all the comments on visibility. I have an MA2, but following the 2021 flying restrictions I bought a Mini 2. I have 2020 far sight vision but kept losing sight of the Mini2, one look away from the drone to the controller, and Oh No, lost sight of the Mini 2 again. When...

    The best order to use when beginning a flight.

    Blimey...(as we say in the UK). I thought when I posted this item on the Forum that I would just get one or two replies. After a slow start I thought all the replies had ended........WRONG. I am so grateful for all the interesting replies and I know the order I will use. Thank you all very much...

    Are there any strobes that will keep the weight under 250g now that the Mini 2 has a few extra grams to play with?

    I'm new to Mavic mini 2 , (having previously owned a Phantom 3 Pro, and I have also have a Mavic Air2). To the people who are commenting on the fact that going above 250 grammes is not important, I would just say, it is if you live in the UK. There are very few restrictions on flying those...

    Mothballing my Air 2

    Thanks Brockrock, I will take your advice on the storage. I did think of selling the Air 2, but everybody else has the same idea and the ebay prices for the Air 2 have dropped.

    Mothballing my Air 2

    Hi, I have an Air 2 which I love, and I also have recently purchased a Mini 2. Due Lockdown in UK and new 2021 Drone restrictions, I will be using the mini 2 and not the Air 2. What should I do with the batteries (3) of the Air 2, and is there any other advice I need re leaving the Air 2 in its...

    The best order to use when beginning a flight.

    Thanks for your reply, it took a bit of persuasion with my financial advisor (or wife as she likes to be called) before she agreed to me getting a mini 2 to supplement my air 2. However, is the Smart Controller a worthwhile addition and would I be able to use it with my Air 2 as well as the Mini 2?

    The best order to use when beginning a flight.

    New to Mini 2 ownership, I seem to remember on a You Tube video, that it was important to turn on your equipment in the correct order, so do you start with the controller, then the mobile/iPad then finally the mini 2 , or the reverse, or does it not matter????

    A jerk no longer...

    Hi Everyone, I posted a question a couple of weeks ago about my recently purchased Mavic Air 2 (which replaced my Phantom 3 Pro) and the 'jerky' videos I was getting using an iPad mini 2. I tried some of the answers I got, which improved it, but did not resolve it completely. One option that...

    Oh no, a red warning.....

    Thanks for that, long story cut short, I used today an iPad mini2, which is pretty old, but it is much easier to use than the iPad air 2 that I had before. As soon as I've sold the air 2 tablet I am going to get a more modern iPad mini 4 or 5. I hope that will be better than the mini 2. Should I...

    Oh no, a red warning.....

    Out today with the fourth flight with my air 2 quad. After a very short while I got a red warning message on the screen of my iPad saying "Mobile device CPU fully loaded. Related performance will be affected" Should I be worried, what does CPU fully loaded mean? Also, I tried a video not with...

    Jerky video.....

    Thanks, I'll have a read of it and see if it solves my problem. Fingers crossed. I know I didn't have this problem with my old Phantom 3 Pro, but I wouldn't go back to it. Regards.... Bill

    Jerky video.....

    I've just had another flight with my new Mavic air 2. The photographs are terrific and will be even better, hopefully when I do some editing. I was very disappointed with the videos I took. They were very jerky, and as they were jerky on my first flight, I was extra careful with the slow...

    Hi from Norfolk UK.

    Hi Everyone, joined today from Norfolk in England. Just replaced my Phantom 3 pro which I had for 12 months. Although I did not get many chances to fly it, I did enjoy it. Now that I have more time on my hands I have purchased a Mavic Air 2 having watched just about every You Tube film on dji...
