    Mavic 3 will not work

    Any chance that it thinks it is in a no fly zone?

    I wanna share with you guys the last moments of my Mavicair2 RIP

    In level flight and stable. In a turn, unless all props are at the same speed and pitch angle, other forces can happen. In my opinion, drone controls leave a lot to be desired. And, as you suggest, it is easy to inadvertently apply some control input, that can result in unfortunate...

    I wanna share with you guys the last moments of my Mavicair2 RIP

    Propeller driven aircraft tend to descend when turning rapidly, and the left turn is worse than a right turn for losing altitude. This accident happened in a left turn. If you practice turning at a higher altitude you may find the drone reacts differently in a turn one way than the other, which...

    What are some best practices after initial take off?

    The first thing I do after takeoff when flying anything is start a stop watch function on my wrist watch. For an old fashioned back up on timing the flight.

    still getting disconnects

    Are your cables USB 2.0 to USB-C? They should be USB 2.0 to micro B. The USB-C connector is bigger inside and fits loose which causes disconnects. The USB 2.0 is very difficult to tell apart from the micro B connector. I had the same problem you are having with disconnects until I finally got...

    Bring Mavic on a Princess Cruise?ko

    Almost all of the SouthEast Alaska ports are NoFlyZones, due to the proximity of airports and heliports. So there is a minimum oportunity to use a drone. Most shore leave from cruise ships there is less than 4 hours so you are not getting out of the NFZ to be able to use it in any case. Could...

    Bring Mavic on a Princess Cruise?ko

    Ketchikan, Ak has 10,000 population. Every morning 7-8000 people get off cruise ships for the day. Just imagine the fun in this small city with 3000 people running around operating drones. Leave your drones at home if you are headed to AK, please.
