    bad freind? or am I Bad???

    My opinion, which is worth less than my photos: If you EVER plan to sell your work for money, start now. Don't give away your work for free unless as a gift celebrating an occasion. Minimally, charge just a little bit. By the way, every business has to fire a customer eventually, you sure got...

    Mavic Mini motor speed error - always the RIGHT rear. Should I ignore it if new props?

    There are several instances where only the right rear cracks 16k. Funny how most folks complain about left rear!

    Mavic Mini motor speed error - always the RIGHT rear. Should I ignore it if new props?

    As the title says, my error is every flight, regardless of props motor speed error for right rear. It usually occurs 5 minutes or more into the flight and usually while hovering. DJI had me send it in, and after it returned, behaved in exactly the same way. I've been flying quadcopters since...

    Mavic mini video issues

    Mini seems pickier about cards than my ME Pro. I have a card that is fine in the M2, but has problems in the mini. That said, my wife just found a V3 card in the dryer below the lint trap. It's been there since Thanksgiving and is just fine. Put it back in the goggles and used it today. I was...

    Battery swelling?

    Check your batteries now. I'll bet they've swelled. My three swelled batteries were manufactured 08/2018. I'm a snowbird in the desert and can certify that a wetsuit here is as useful as jewelry on a pig.

    Get M2P now or wait for M3? What about autel evo ii?

    Battery Swelling is a big problem for those of us who were early purchasers of Mavic 2. This is a common problem with early production runs and is NOT covered under warranty. The problem is that the batteries take over 90% useable charge, but the swelling compromises the lock system holding the...

    how do you handle visibility of the phone screen in broad daylight ??

    In the desert SW, there are no trees. Goggles are what I prefer, especially good for composing shots that I'd likely miss on a small screen.

    DJI OEM Lens Filter Broke

    DO NOT Super glue. Inept advise. You will fog your lens work the fumes as they condense back on top of the coating.

    DJI Fly App

    Why are you responding to questions about the Mini when you don't even have one? At least preface, "I don't know anything firsthand about the Mini, but..." Or, better yet, wait a few days 'til you get yours.

    IPod Touch

    I tried my version 12.1.1 IPod and it works. Took photos, shot video, flew far and wide. I couldn't figure out how to exit the settings menu without restarting, though. No GPS on the device, of course, but a great way to have a second cameras in the air, with pixel 3xl connected to a bigger...
