    Video Record stop/start switch not responding on Smart Controller

    my video button would flick to vid, then flick back to photo - i could only very quickly touch the record button to make it record, and i couldnt use the SMART modes... i couldnt resolve it with 3 devices or 2 different controllers so i sent it back to dji and i hopefully get it back tomorrow -...

    Mavic 2 Pro motors shut down mid-flight

    the mid air power cut could be battery popping out from not 100% seating - sometimes it seems clicked - it can look completely seated in - it sure does power up and run but the descent causes battery to lift up and comeout.... i wouldnt write it off as an answer - i think the m3 will come with...

    Close Call with Bird Attacks---

    Mine was divebombed by a Magpie (Perth Aus) and man it was in full attack dive mode - i was only lucky that the m2z was close i bolted down towards me to the ground and then stopped flying and jumped behind it in line of sight and waved like a crazy man - **** bird pulled off at the last second...

    In Door Flying ??'s

    I used my GoPro on a commercial pool cleaning pole and boomed up nice and high using that once - pole was only like $100 :) the guy with the Nikon 2000mm idea is also good otherwise I’d try My trusty canon 100-400mm first- not sure how you’d go with the low light no doubt in some of those...

    Can I use the car charger (14v input) with a 16v power supply?

    it connects via the car charging kit that comes with the fly more - the battery pack has a cigarette lighter style adaptor.

    Can I use the car charger (14v input) with a 16v power supply?

    Wow thanks guys for the detailed replies and thoughts. I did first try using my second car battery (dual battery set up in the Landcruiser) and the second is dedicated to the fridge and charges on BCDC charger due to a modern variable output alternator. I suspect the fridge drawdown was probably...

    Can I use the car charger (14v input) with a 16v power supply?

    Dual Controllers with Mavic 2 Series?

    Maybe its just a numbers thing... only 1 in 100 would pony up the cash so to try and bug proof the whole thing its not worth the capital investment. Maybe keeps people who want to use camera/control separation on higher models. I hear your issue - though no joke - seeing as you just need to...

    Just ordered Mavic 2 Pro and it got shipped, Was it a mistake?

    You will be stoked!! and i love flying with the goggles they are so clear! but when the goggles are ON it interferes with the reception and your range is limited pretty significantly - check out the goggles forum... i think theyll fix it (i do hope) - just be aware that if you are off out in the...

    Range with Mavic Zoom and Goggles RE

    Makes sense to me Roamer - the controller settings change when using the goggles (the custom buttons change to a preset forced by the goggles) which is part of what makes me believe you are spot on - the goggles take over somewhat... I too have the RE - good for zipping around close by - but...
