    Flying in heavy smoke…

    The drone sensors treat heavy smoke the same as fog. Several people here (including myself) have experienced the inability to do a normal decent through fog because the drone thinks there's a landing surface below it and will first stop decanting, then go into landing mode. I would not recommend...

    Flying over an indian casino, police chased me off ??

    "Can anyone think of a reason I cannot LEGALLY fly over this facility according to FAA regulations? So long as I'm not doing so on their property" Legally no, provided you do not launch, land, or operate (control) the drone on the casino property!

    Joining the DJI club

    Sounds like a plan. I'm going to fly today. I'll be launching just north of the Tilikum crossing bridge on the west side around noon-ish.

    Somebody please Help me why is it Look like this?

    Forget about YouTube, If you’re seeing an issue with video from the SD card, there is something wrong with your drone (it should look great). Factory reset your drone. If it still doesn’t look great, contact DJI. The factory settings out of the box should look great !

    I've got some great shots in oregon city of the old closed paper mill, all along the Willamette river, Clackamas river, All the Portland bridges, West Linn, Piddock mansion, West Hills towers, Council crest park, Mt Park.

    First drone video ever on youtube! What do you guys think? How could it be better?

    Seems to me the fast pans are not as bad as the ramp up and slowdown at the beginning and end of your movements. Adjust the drone movement settings so the ramp up and slowdown of movements are smoother. Also, not sure what you're using to edit or what computer being used but the end result is...

    MPEG video size and playing on Plex

    Are you recording using "H.265" encoding? Depending on the client side settings, this requires much more horse power of your server to transcode. Assuming this is all on your local network, try recording in "H264" and for playback change your client setting to "direct play". Good luck,

    Gimbal Overload

    The issue looks to be in only the vertical movement of the gimbal. If thats the case, I believe it's an issue with dirt, dust of some kind of contaminant in the gimbal's vertical mechanism. Take a look at my post about the issue I had with mine (very similar movement issue). I hope you get it...

    I’m amazed how the Yagi-Uda Antennas work.

    I hear you. it's hard to read the uneducated opinions that are ready to argue when you know better.

    I’m amazed how the Yagi-Uda Antennas work.

    My personal experience has found the pin-point statement to simply not be true. With the Drone Valley Yagi in place and the controller turned 90 degrees off, the MA2 still will achieve a range greater than the typical LOS. Side note: The Drove Valley products are not advertised as extending...

    I’m amazed how the Yagi-Uda Antennas work.

    The response above is to the discussion about the MA2 (in response to the titled Mavic Air 2 Discussions). The statements given are in reference to the questions asked about the Drone Valley products sold direct or through Amazon for the MA2. I can not/would not comment on products I've not used...
