    Strobe light

    I'm not going to go into it unless you really want me to but I'd stay away from Lume Cube for a number of reasons and it's way expensive. But there are many got chas hidden between the lines.

    Almost had a flyaway this morning

    Wow that’s great info . Would it be the same I wonder on pro 2. I had to fly away on pro two. Nothing worked it just did what it wanted to crash in to the wall and into the river

    Which RC connection is best Mavic 2 PRO

    I'm not expert but I have a lot of experience. Sounds like there's a problem. I use both my iphone 6s plus and my iphone 8 Plus as well as my ipad mini 5 and they all work in both ports. Update everything is often the solution but it does not sound good.

    Battery on my Mavic Pro 2 Remote Control

    I got a new/refresh RC from DJI. I have thought all along the battery on the RC does not last very long. I've had many Mavic 2 Pro's and RC's so I have an idea how long they last but not certain. I had charged my RC to 100 percent. I took it out and flew 1 full battery in 75 degrees no wind...

    Mavic 2 pro

    Gimbles are funny funny thing when it comes to drones. I've sent back a half dozen drones MAVIC 3 pro all gimble related. When they give a refresh drone it's been my experience the gimbles are out of wack. Apparently they are very hard to fix and get right.

    10 bit 422 question Mavic Pro 2

    Thank You Canada Drone for weighing in. I do understand all that as I am a colorist who specializes in color grading. But with all my tools I can see easily whether footage is 10 bit or 8 bit but there is no way for me to tell if it's 420 or 422. I can't find anywhere that states if H265 Dlog...

    10 bit 422 question Mavic Pro 2

    yes Dave below is right. 422 has a lot more information to play with in post as well as 10 bit does. I always color grade so it's important to me but sometimes depending on the scene the standard 8 bit looks great. If you do a test you can see it clearly how different the dynamic ranges is...

    Hesitancy to Return To Home over my home's aluminum fencing?

    yes I watched a video from 51 drones and he said to go 34 feet and hang out for a minute and I did lots of testing and it worked very well most of the tie.

    When I push RETURN TO HOME THE sensors go all red

    What is precision take off? In all my studies I've never heard of that. Interesting. Please let me know. The day I got the drone and was doing testing to make sure the Refresh was in good order I did the compass twice and the IMU once. I'm going out today and I'll try em both again. Thank you. Tom

    When I push RETURN TO HOME THE sensors go all red

    I received my Mavic pro 2 yesterday from DJI refresh. I noticed that when I push return to home that once it starts to come down the sensors all turn red. I have been with Mavic 2 Pro for 2 years and never ever noticed that. I called and 2 different techs said it's not normal and advised to...

    10 bit 422 question Mavic Pro 2

    I always thought that the Mavic Pro 2 when set to Dlog and H265 was 10 bit 422. Now I have reason to believe it's 420. Does anyone know the fact. Also I'm pretty sure when in H265 and in Normal color space that it is NOT 10 bit. Please if someone really knows please answer. Thank You.
