    Charging out in the field.

    I use a jump box. Has 12v and an inverter for AC current too

    iPad mini flying

    Get a mini 5, runs cooler, much more bandwidth for updates as they become more complex. I would also spend the money for an unactivated cell version as it has a GPS built in for return to home at the RC! You can also do some video editing of your streams after the day is done. Just my 2 cents

    Hello everyone from Maryland (DC metro area)

    I’m outside DC as well, large NFZ in our area! Buy a Tello or whoop for inside practice. Look at Hoover or the DJI app to see the NFZ ( No Fly Zone) You’ll love drones, no matter what your purpose is. Stay in contact we can go to some of my favorite fly places in DMV

    ND filter changing speed

    I use polar pro and I have a 3D printed tool to hold and twist. Quite easy and fast. Tool is mostly needed for the factory clear bezel.

    Mavic 2 Zoom

    I would try to use a tape loop, and attach it to both sides using a thin device like a knife on each side to pull it out

    Mavic 2 Zoom flyaway (for real!) - help explain?

    That WiFi or Bluetooth signal from the camera was in such close proximity to the bird it jammed all other signals. Me telling what you might end up with at distance.

    Having to re calibrate compass numerous times during flight

    Did you possibly expose it or store it near a strong magnetic field? And concrete pads often contain rebar and will cause compass issues

    Never use rice! Use DI or distilled water as a rinse to avoid mineral deposits, shake out, blow out. Then dry in warm dry air. If there is a likelihood of petroleum products in the water, diss assembly will be necessary and localized cleaning with isopropyl alcohol.

    My S10+ is just not bright enough - options?

    Wear a black shirt, use a sunshade. If not good enough, brighter display.

    Mavic 2 Pro and IPad Air

    I use a mini5, had the same error on hot days with a mini4. The 5 is perfect in all ways, size performance. Make sure ANY device is not choked with apps and has additional memory space. The MP2pro has a lot of bandwidth with the 1080 video stream and pushes most tabs to their limit.

    Phone call

    Get a cell IPad mini (w/GPS) no cell service and keep it for your drones only! If you have a Mavic 2 pro, need a mini 5 To stream and display w/o over heating or overload the processor. DONT FIND OUT THE HARD WAY! Flying back blind, during a reboot is scary!

    Totally my fault but got lucky

    Best video I ever saw on YouTube was a guy showing off the collision avoidance of his new (1week old) Mavic pro. He just demonstrated speed in sport mode and says it won’t crash! It has collision avoidance! And flys it full speed into a barn, destroying it! Then says, I forgot there is no...

    Will I pad Mini 4 fit with M2P controller?

    Short answer: yes! It is the minimum. May run warm, needs to be clean to stream the 1080 video. Mini 5 is a better choice. I have retired my 4 to use a 5, much more stable, and GPS can be helpful, so if possible buy an unlocked cell version. Cell service is not necessary
