    MN Winter Geese

    First time video post which is almost black and white due to the winter snow. My goal was not to make the geese fly as I was at 150 ft using zoom but when they took off I just went for it. Open for suggestions and FYI that music was my wifes choice! Thanks for any input.

    What is your drone's name?

    Lucy. "Lucy in the Sky"

    The best way to mount a Marco Polo tag to the Mavic Pro Platinum.

    On top of the battery with Velcro. I have a Remove Before Flight label that uses the same Velcro which covers the battery button. Can't turn the battery on without removing the label. That way I remember to remove the gimbal guard. So, I remove the Remove Before Flight banner, remove gimbal...

    The Arris Raptor landing skids for M2P and M2Z are available now! (Great for hand landing)

    Ok, so I live in MN and plan to shoot fall foliage with bridges boats etc in the foreground. DJI Refresh is of no use to me if I sink the drone so albeit expensive in for a penny in for a pound. Yes, they are way too expensive. The product is extremely rough and could use a good afternoon with...

    Found Mavic 2 drone Delray Beach

    I do the same and add my address as well. Not concerned about the information being on the drone. If I don't do anything wrong I have nothing to hide.

    Request for opinion

    Try a company like Dome Glass. They have screen protectors that are applied with a liquid solution and UV light to cure. Their phone screen protectors are the absolute best. I know that is what you wanted to eliminate but if in fact you have removed the coating from the original screen this...

    Request for opinion

    Does anyone know if DJI has a repair center for the CS? I would assume they would have to have some type of service facility. That being said I think I would still go with a local shop.

    Missing drone, DJI service is hopeless

    You would need to travel the set mission and when you are within range it would direct you to where the drone is located. That's assuming the drone hit a tree as we all suspect and either remains in the tree or has fallen to the ground. They have a purpose but seem unnecessary for those skilled...

    Missing drone, DJI service is hopeless

    This is a case calling out for a tracking device, Marco Polo or the like to save new pilots time in recovering. Inexperience always leads to errors but errors can be less daunting if you are prepared for the inevitable.

    Prevent a Crash or Flyaway with Your DJI Mavic (the Complete Guide)

    5 thumbs up! This is really a great overview for us new to the drone world. I carry the manual in a 3 ring binder wherever I fly to use it for reference. This would be awesome to print and have it with me to review when I'm out in the back country. Thank you for all the time you have put into...

    Flight Time Conditions

    I changed parameters and it work well once it's dialed in. Set it at 400 ft for wind. It's pretty obvious what the wind is at ground level. What have you found that works better? I would be interested in giving it a try.

    Mavic 2 Zoom and Go App cut off

    Try using the port at the bottom of the controller. In my experience it is a better connection with less chance of accidentally bumping it loose.

    Mastering the joysticks when the aircraft turns around

    I have the same problem. After flying RC fixed wing and using the method of 'moving the aileron stick towards the wing tip that is lowest as the plane is coming at you to keep it level' my old brain just doesn't seem to register that the drone automatically stays level. Seems I go the wrong way...
