    Looking to get into FPV!

    Wouldn't go to 3s... 4s would work better. The iFlight Nazgul is relatively heavy, a 3s will very likely not give much head room power wise to get out of close calls. Have you looked into the 3"-4" segment... possible to get below 250gr, nearly as fast as 5" & overall cheaper components, my...

    Drone Aparure Questions?

    Yeah... the fact that it's nearly pointless unfortunately. Drones in general, with wide angle lenses, small sensors & long focus distances will in practice give an unlimited focal depth... so you can't play with DoF at all. The most useful is that you might manage without a ND filter while...

    Looking to get into FPV!

    That's not Walksnail... ad title says "something unspecified"-analog, and no goggles also. The quad itself... the iFlight Nazgul is good enough though, but very much something much more powerful than what you've flown before (which is a challenge & big risk in itself).

    Retrieving flight information, is it possible

    Encrypted .DAT flight logs are always stored in a internal memory area in the drone... this memory area can't be deleted by the user. Once a drone is used & sent back to DJI they will always be able to see logs from several flights. A .DAT log records from drone power on to off & contain much...

    Mavic 3 crash into tower, by a student

    Yeah, that was an oversight... The drone was still accelerating, the sticks was reported to be in neutral position, the drone was in waypoint mode & the up/downlink was 100% & collision avoidance was active when it crashed. The log reports Braking 0,2sec after the first crash signs. Nothing in...

    I want to know why my Mavic 2 battery suddenly goes from 70% to 0%.

    As the cell voltages all are above 3,9v (with a minimal cell deviation) when the BMS jumps from 72% to 0% 7min 10,6sec into the flight I would suspect a communication cut off between drone & battery. Have you visually inspected the connectors drone/battery side... any damage or corrosion, did...

    Mavic 4 Pro motor overload and crash - options?

    Yeah sure... But without going into how a IMU (compass, accelerometer & gyro) can get affected by a EMI discharge... note that the moisture in the air is a natural conductor, earthing any potential static charge and thus dissolving static electricity. Relative humidity must be below 40% in...

    Mavic 4 Pro motor overload and crash - options?

    This had nothing to do with any kind of electronic interference... Instead it was likely the weather conditions that first caused the "low vertical limit landings" due to iced up VPS sensors & then later the motor errors together with loss of thrust due to prop icing in the end. The flight...

    DJI RC 2 Controller Not Showing Display, No USB Detection

    Not a clue unfortunately...

    DJI RC 2 Controller Not Showing Display, No USB Detection

    Your picture don't show that you have a detected device connected... top left doesn't have any info. If your device doesn't get detected even though it's connected to your computer & turned on... you have another problem that needs to get solved before you can update the firmware.

    Aperture setting

    Those distances aren't typical when it comes to drone photography... A simple DoF calculator will give you all the answers. Below I've used a Mavic 2 Pro as an example as it have a variable aperture. 10m subject distance with widest aperture setting (f/2.8): DoF near limit 2,43m DoF far limit...

    Need intenet to fly now

    That you couldn't fly at all is strange... usually you will only be limited in height & distance. Below writing in the user manual exist for most DJI models... Did you check in the profile section in the app if you were logged in or not ?

    Air 2 and RTH: can it find its way back at night like it does during the day?

    For your specific question... see post #2. But honestly, you should keep a cool head instead of just reverting to an automated flight mode if you lose track of your drone. Just release the stick as a first step, then switch over to the DJI Fly app map view... Read off the height the drone is...
