I have searched and seen similar questions but nothing resolved this question for me. I am based in the US and traveling to Germany for two weeks. Bringing my DJI Mini 2, which is under 250g. I've already registered with an EASA National Aviation Authority (LBA in Germany) and passed my EU...

If you are looking to practice, a great location is South County Regional Park in West Boca. Plenty of open space and multiple places to launch from. I’ve ran into other drone pilots there a few times. Not much for filming but perfect wide open areas to build your skills and confidence. This is...

Thanks for the information! I just checked my Air 2S and Mini 2 and confirmed that the phone charging option has returned for both drones. Finally can fly again! Strange there was no DJI Fly app update or firmware update, the option just reappeared on it’s own. But as long as the option does...

I flew my Mini 2 today and confirmed that the issue occurred within 10 minutes of using the Mini 2 as well. Did more research and found the most likely cause is that DJI set charging of iOS devices as a default in one of the post 1.4.0 updates. They also removed the option to toggle this feature...

We’ll just returned from flying and no luck. Removed the phone case , used the DJI shade and stood in the shade. This time the screen dimmed while the drone was still on the ground. I was messing around in the DJI fly settings trying to find the phone charging options . After 5 minutes of...

Thanks for the info everyone. I’m heading out this morning to test the sunshade option, removing the phone case, ensuring I am not charging the phone at the same time. I’ll report back on what I find. It’s currently sunny and 89 F(32 C) out so perfect test conditions. Hope one of these works...

Ever since I’ve had my Air 2S in March, after ~10 min flight time my iPhone 12 Pro screen will dim to the point where I cannot even see it. I am assuming it is because the phone is getting too hot so iOS is auto dimming the screen. When this occurs the brightness slider is all the way up but the...

I was practicing editing only using iOS so threw together some footage from a day trip to Belle Glade, South Bay Area at the southern tip of Lake Okeechobee, FL. Was a windy day but the MA2 handled it well and the breeze provided interesting footage for the flowing sugar cane. Footage is...

Very interesting and unique shots! That pristine snow makes a nice canvas for those shadows in the first image and the colors in the second image.

This is what I fear. All it takes is one high profile incident where a person is injured. Now I don't think it would result in over reaching regulation, at least in the short term, but do think it will tarnish public opinion of the hobby more than it already is. There are many people who...

I've always just used thumbs to fly. Yesterday I went out to just practice flying some trickier movements with my MA2 so decided to try pinching the sticks this time. This felt so unnatural to me I was afraid I'd crash it into the ground. So I deferred the complex moves I was trying and just...

Welcome ! While you must go west to find uncontrolled. I'm sure you know this already but much of controlled airspace is still accessible via LAANC. I believe almost all the Broward County and Palm beach county parks are open to flying. The county websites list the exceptions.

That was actually pretty good flying up until that branch got in the way. Taking curves between rows of trees is not easy. The 28 second mark was a nice save ?

I will admit that I did end up getting a MA2 a couple weeks back and have not regretted it at all. The 240fps and 4k 60 was a worthwhile justification. I don't trust the ActiveTrack features enough to use those yet. I figure when the Mavic 3 eventually hits the market, I can always sell my MA2...

Update to my crash report from Jan-23. I just received my replacement Care Refresh Mini 2 today. It took a bit longer than I anticipated but it is retail packaging still in the plastic wrap so I assume it's not a refurbished unit. I did pick up my Air 2 in the interim though so I am now up to...
