    active track worked absolutely awful for me. why?

    You might want to try darker clothing on a snow background for follow me mode. I think even VPS is also blind with all white background. Did it automatically put the subject in a box or you have to manually draw a box on the subject?

    Fly with Litchi without remotecontroller?

    Apps like litchi needs to transmit commands to the AC through the RC. If it can do that without the controller then you are good to go. Mission stored on the AC is not going to start on its on without the RC. Even if you can fly a mission without RC, why would you even want to.

    Hand catching

    Always hand catch above head level. You have left stick control and zero control on right stick. No control on horizontal movements. Better be safe than sorry. Turning off motors by tilting AC 90 degrees is not really a good idea. The AC will compensate and resist before shutting off...

    How to take a self portrait with mavic 2 without showing or having controller in my hand ?

    You can take a video of yourself and get your picture from there. I dont think it has a selfie mode like the spark does which has a gesture mode for that specific purpose. Welcome to the forum!

    New Drone Pilot

    Welcome to the forum new member. Is the FAA knowledge test same as the part 107?

    Question about flying over water and diving

    My concern when flying over water at below 10 meters is its ability to maintain altitude hold. My P4P has a tendency to dip in altitude over water on low altitude during hovering.

    Mavic pro 1 black screen on iphone (did not use drone)

    I think its camera cable ribbon. It is the exposed wire from camera to gimble. It is different on the mavic 2. It is more like a flat ribbon instead of wire strand.

    Safe to assume that you need all wires for it to work properly.

    Found; Mavic 2's Achilles Heel.

    I do the same thing with my P4P. Not so much with my M2Z but it is equipped with a prop guard. My spark gets all the fun. Latest adventure is flying through aluminum step ladder. It only managed to go through the first step. It is that stupid landing protection that I cant turn off!

    How to restore flight data from drone?

    You have to upload data to DJI cloud before you can sync it with the new device. Same procedure when deleting DJI GO4 app and re installing on the same device. If you have never uploaded anything then you will not get anything back. If you still have the old device, it is just a matter of...

    Found; Mavic 2's Achilles Heel.

    I use a sunhood on my MP2. Never crash mine yet but have been effective on my spark. It takes the initial impact and pops out.

    Try recording and see if camera is working. Eliminate problem on AC side. If its working then problem could be with mobile device and DJI GO4 app. Try on different device. Try also a different cable between RC and mobile device.

    Waypoints 2.0 vs Litchi

    I think it only gives you battery estimates based on the AC connected. I dont get the idea of waypoints needing multiple batteries unless waypoints are arranged in a circle and the RC is in the middle.

    Mavic 2 Pro accessories upgrades.

    Prop guard and camera sunhood. I have them for the spark also but not for my P4P. My P4P doesnt get close to any obstacles.
