i have a camper with two solar panels, just yesterday was doing a little practice flying and decided to check the panels to see if they needed cleaning from all the wind and dust we have had in the desert this week. Used my MA2 then lowered within a couple of feet from the panels and tilted...

I remain on standby here in the southern arizona desert, been blowing as high as 50 mph in the last couple of days, will it never end? My landing pad is still in place though, just in case it lets up tomorrow. ?

I am familiar with trying to obtain a patent, the first time your application is reviewed, more times than not, it is declined. So you resubmit a second time, be ready for upper 5 figures and dont be surprised if it reaches low 6 figure, the attorneys never lose.

First, I was just now able to make a 5 minute flight before the winds reached 25+ mph, everything is good now. Thanking all those that gave me the “direction” to go to resolve the problem. The red lights, there were two stories, one, the manual says “critical” but gives you no idea of where to...

I have mavic air 2 and use this, if it causes shorter life then so be it, I have no other option available. https://www.amazon.com/DJI-Mavic-Air-Charger-CP-MA-00000251-01/dp/B087QGD9G7

I tried that too, calibrating the IMU seemed to work. winds are supposed to be 25+ today but right now calm, hope to get out there after my coffee and get it in the air for test flight at least.

Thanks everyone for your help and ideas. If the wweather permits I will try the helpful hints aforementioned. ?

Okay, after some google searches, one reply to solid red lights was the fact they stay on all the time (front arms), another forum on a dji drone but not a mavic said to try IMO calibration, did that as instructed and after the red lights still on but now can get normal speed forward. Oh me.

Did you get this resolved as I now have the problemof the two solid red lights indicating “critical”? All was good yesterday with flying, today different story. When I tried to fly first time today and saw the red lights I changed batteries and then no red lights but top speed forward was only...

Just tried between wind gusts, top speed 7 mph and now have the two front lights solid red, I think meaning “critical” which is how this started until I switched batteries.

By the way, somehow the avoidance had changed to “brake” from what I had set to “bypass”.........so every time you start a new flight do you have to go through all the settings to see if anything has changed from what was set originally?

Thanks, will have to wait and try tomorrow morning, the winds here in the desert are now blowing 25-30 mph! ?

Fire260, I am sorry I do not understand what you are telling me to do, go app, where is that exactly?

Camera pointed away from me at take off, app is dji fly and using iPad Pro, camera itself was pointed horizontally.

Purchased 2 weeks ago and everything has been fine. This morning crank things up and get a message to check props, I did and all was well. As taking off see 2 red lights, solid and manual says that means “critical”, doesn’t tell Me critical what. Change batteries (96% charge), and now no...
