    My drone exploded in mid air

    First, sorry for your loss. Being a mechanical design technician for more than 30 years, looking at the picture we can clearly see that the plastic is deformed by heat and no traces of fire are visible (black smoke residue). I can’t see any evidence of the drone being shot, the body being way...

    Mavic air 2, help needed

    Need help with updating the remote firmware. Just got the drone out after a long period unused and after firmware update, I can’t link the remote with the drone because the remote needs a firmware update as well.

    Hey guys please let me know a location that is ideal for flying

    Welcome from Quebec I’m mostly like you, new to drones, and I picked a local parc nearby my place to fly and practice using my drone and all functions. There’s very few places around Quebec City that allows flying drones because of the airport restrictions that cover almost all of the city...

    Dealing with passers by who ask questions cause they hate drones?

    I think I’m going to make myself couples flags that will say: Drone in flight. Do not come closer! By placing them at 100’ from me, that may help avoid unwanted crowd. What do you think of the idea?

    Managing batteries

    Is there any way to Change settings for the automatic standby discharge? You know, 4 days instead of 3 or 2 days full charge before entering into discharge mode? Just asking anyway because those things are usually fixed and no changes are usually possible but, hey, who knows? Probably someone...

    Managing batteries

    Anybody ever used the multi charger that comes with the fly more combo? I know it only charge batteries one by one and that a brand new battery must not be charged for the first time on that thing. Now, how good is it?

    Managing batteries

    You know, the idea of charging LiPo batteries overnight is a good idea except that I might not sleep very well knowing the risk of fire these batteries represents. No, I prefer the idea of buying more chargers instead. This way, I might sleep a lot better.

    Managing batteries

    Took me 2.5 hours to recharge all three, two were at 60% and one at 90%. But I found the idea to buy a second charger and a car charger really interesting. Thanks,

    Propeller holders for storage

    Hello, I’m looking for a thin box that can handle all my Mavic Air 2 spare props. I can design the thing, extract the STL files and we can deal for the price of 3D printing it. I’m a 30 + years experienced CAD designer and I use Solidworks for 20 years now. Should you need any Fast 3D modeling...
