    Safe temperature to fly your drone?

    That's an important topic which needs more input from the community. I no longer fly at temps of over 94°f, 34.4°C. Above that and it seems my aircraft is no longer cooling. Batteries, 50-80 cycle units, are too hot to touch on the bottom and puffing always seems to begin with these events...

    There’s no fool like an old fool...Mavic Mini lost!!

    Curious, did you check the map before or during launch? Also, have you considered recording the screen on your tx or goggles? I rarely calibrate, and no problems after over 90 hours/1000+ flights. M2P/Z+SC+Racing Goggles SE=AMAZING!

    Using Waypoints without turning on drone or controller.

    Final comment here-I am going to keep my DJI Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom. There is nothing else in its class, but- There are things I would like to change. As far as needing Litchi, I may be wrong- DJI offers WayPoints Pro for free, this addresses many of the issues I felt were solved by Litchi. I have not...

    Aloha! I am a bit sporadic on some forums as of yet. That should change, especially as I dive into the M2 with more knowlege and therefore, gusto.. I have been taking links from Dustin Dunhill's(sic) You tube channel. He is known for "range testing" many quads like the M2 and shows several wing...

    Thanks so much! Will definitely check them out. Litchi Desktop Platform? Based on my experience with upgrading the SC to Litchi, I would imagine that the desktop version is worth the price (in addition to the device/smart controller version?) I am convinced that Litchi is the ONLY way to go with...

    Using Waypoints without turning on drone or controller.

    Not if you are using the smart controller, and you face severe limitations using device based Go4 disconnected. At least if you are using DJI's Waypoints 2.0. I have switched to Litchi... ...just be sure to get the Amazon App Store version for the smart controller as the Google version is...

    Litchi

    BUY IT! I was just about to post on this subject. Although I cannot speak to the Moverio's, my DJI Goggles SE work perfectly. That being said: The $25.00 I paid for Litchi is the best money I have EVER spent! Literally! Moving up from Ardupilot and Mission Planner/Tower GCS, I thought I would...

    Hello all, I have finally graduated up to the Mavic2Pro. This is my 4th model of rtf camera quad and 3rd brushless. I have had to modify or change props on previous models to compensate for altitude. I am certain the Mavic will be able to handle flying at the top of Snowbird Ski Resort, for...
