    Cant fly Mavic pro so got an Osmo

    Just a couple from the Osmo on a very dull UK day but nature shining through. I resisted lightening as the mood was very accurate. That F2 doing a good job. Better results than my M2Pro yesterday but that's because I'm still learning the 1 inch sensor camera :)

    Discharging Options

    Assuming the batt technology is the same as M2P then why reinvent the wheel, set it to discharge after a day in the app.

    Probable encounter with MOD helis

    M2P Thanks for the blunt responses. Not in a restricted airspace as far as the MOD don't publish their flight paths for obvious reasons I am nowhere near a MOD base just on the flight path between 2 Goggles are only used for lining up a photo, I always fly LOS It was a rhetorical question, the...

    so many sad posts lately

    Always was an expensive hobby but gone are the days of crash-it-repair-it for a lot of UAV users. Despite the marketing they are not toys. I even check the props now in the pre flight check. It's the closest I will ever get to flying and I love the technology and needs education and...

    Probable encounter with MOD helis

    I reside on or near a training path UK for Chinook, Sea king, helicopters that fly very low as the area is flat. I have been used to this from childhood as Hercules pilots trained where I grew up, I know where they are coming from and going to as I have worked on the electrics. They fly very...

    Switching off beginner mode without phone connected?

    Well there it is from Aardvark on the DJI forums.. "The 30m altitude & 50 flight radius restriction is not beginner mode, it was a 'safety feature' added in P4 firmware 02.00.0106. For increased safety, the flight is restricted to a height of 30 m and distance of 50 m when not connected or...

    Switching off beginner mode without phone connected?

    As I feared thanks for looking. I'm going to ask on the DJI forum about this. I'm a reasonably competent flyer but fully understand publishing how to disable it would be counter productive to safety and public mania about killer drones.

    Neglected quads

    This is my abandoned last built quad since the new 2 pro came along the poor hapless hag it is :confused: goes like stink but the FrySky fr9 TX I don't like at all, far to many switches, sure it's suits many. Naze 32 board that will no longer boot and need something compatible with 4 chan...

    Switching off beginner mode without phone connected?

    Indeed but I don't want or need the hassle of using a phone, lots of feature available in the goggles, most impressive is hit Fn button then head move for cross hair focusing, the OSMO pocket moved a lot of app features into the camera so hopefully the setting I'm after is lurking in goggles...

    Switching off beginner mode without phone connected?

    Hmm I can see why DJI did that, the app has demos and makes you study Thumbswayup Yes the white Occusync goggles. thanks for letting me know as I was getting frustrated. I don't go beyond line of sight (long sighted +5 lenses to focus on the screen!) then flip down goggles to adjust camera...

    Switching off beginner mode without phone connected?

    I know this will make some groan but please be patient this ole fart :( I really have searched and read manuals but I'm exhausted. Wanting to use 2 pro with goggles so I turn off beginner mode with phone. fly with goggles(and no phone) and it's back to beginner mode, for the life of me I cannot...

    Cant fly Mavic pro so got an Osmo

    Cant fly Mavic pro so got an Osmo

    Will do and thanks. Quiet forum is possibly due to Osmo being the most intuitive and functional gadget I have acquired. DJI stuff really is high spec, but you all know this. ;)

    Cant fly Mavic pro so got an Osmo

    'The best camera is the one you have with you' the saying goes. I always have my Mavic pro 2 in the car but have used it only 6 times this year due to weather/hawks/other flocks of various birds,/right on the edge of airport zone/people freking out like it is a Covid sprayer or something, so got...
