    Unusual “formation” of night flight drones

    While studying for my part 107 test last year, I purchased the FAA maps that detail areas nearest my residence. A farmers field next door is a great place to practice - anyway I noticed that there is a military route at 300’ for hi-speed helicopters. My neighbor and I have seen, on several...

    Unstable Hover Over Pitched Roofs

    This exact ‘scare’ happened to me and my MP2. After changing blades and calibrating, just because it had been awhile anyway. It occurred to me that the slant 5/12 pitch was not vertical, not horizontal enough to make sense to my bird. I usually fly with sensors off anyway

    Magnetic interference caused by Wireless P2P 5ghz Bridge?

    Well, thank you but now I’m speculating. In the same place, with same equipment but different result: mag interference msg / video XMT black out at way to close a distance. (4,000’) I moved and that fixed it- sooo

    A solution to using a phone in its case

    I’ve purchased these to be able to use my iPhone Xmax in an otter box defender case. Spacing isn’t compatible so I never was able to use this solution. Even the tripod expansion phone grabber (Amazon solution) is tight for my phone case. I’ve learned to live with removing the case first. My...

    Waypoints 2.0 issues

    I don’t claim to be an expert but at least I’m responding- so hopefully some help will come to you. a failsafe to clear your hung error state would be to re-flash your firmware. I assume that you have tried to answer the repeating question with first no, then yes? as far as the POI question I...

    Waypoints Mission: Pausing at waypoints?

    Isn’t the time on waypoint a setting? I think I saw it. 0 seconds then should do it instead of a default

    Waypoints...

    I wonder if you actively tried helping by free stick flying down to within 2KM, would WP1 be attempted. Thereafter likely to behave as if RC link was lost?

    Security Mission

    Certainly appreciate the comments and info. I have Litchi but since I’m still learning the basic DJI waypoints 2.0, I have only studied the software. When in panic mode, with limited vision and a handful of quad copter ‘giving it all it’s got’ to take off, it was all I could do to hit the red X...
