    Strong Wind Warning in 10kts bay wind

    Is it possibly an inherent thing due to the lighter weight? I would imagine it reacts a little more to gusts and such. Even if it won't fall out of the sky, and the gimble can handle the movement, it might simply get tossed around a little more and warn accordingly?

    Mavic Mini 2 vs. Original Mavic Pro - Considering a change

    Thanks everyone, great input. Camera - Honestly it's 2ndary. I thought about getting a Pro 2 but when I realized it was a bigger drone I avoided it. I want decent pictures, of course, they are great to look at and share, but I don't really pixel peep and if they aren't perfect it's actually...

    Mavic Mini 2 vs. Original Mavic Pro - Considering a change

    I have been looking at the Air 2 as well, and saw the S coming out. But though it is smaller, I'm not sure it's worth the swap. It's much smaller than the Mavic 2, but not much smaller than my original. I'm not against it, definitely open here, just not sure the difference is "worth it". Wish...

    Mavic Mini 2 vs. Original Mavic Pro - Considering a change

    Greetings. I've searched and read what I can find, but the last time this was asked was quite a few months ago and maybe things have changed? I currently own an original Mavic Pro, and have enjoyed it since shortly after it first came out. But I find myself not using it as often as I'd like...

    8" android tablet that works 100% with Dji Fly app.

    Got it, thanks, I was using them (GPS, Compass) interchangeably. I see the difference now.

    8" android tablet that works 100% with Dji Fly app.

    https://news.lenovo.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Lenovo-Tab-M8-2nd-GEN_HD.pdf Lenovo says it has GPS. I'm guessing you are probably correct it doesn't, but as mentioned, this gets confusing. Not to put you on the spot but - any chance it has GPS and yours was broken, turned off, or something...

    8" android tablet that works 100% with Dji Fly app.

    Looking at Amazon US, it's $476 for a used one that can arrive in about a month. Ouch. Liked the sound of the Zenpad, but no compass as mentioned. Not sure why there are no decent modern 8" Android tablets. Plenty of old ones, or new ones that are 10". It seems to be like phones and cars...

    Good Android phone with 6" screen for DJI GO 4 (Mavic 2)

    Have you considered a used tablet and just keeping your phone separate? A dedicated tablet can be run on a very minimal set of programs and of course get you an even bigger screen (which most would say is beneficial, though you may have a reason to stay smaller).

    h265 1080p

    It will do this, yes, by a a pretty good amount, about 2/3 the file size and maybe even closer to half the size. Hard drive space is cheap these days, but if you want to use only SSD's or just generally like the idea of something significantly improved and better, you want to use H.265...

    From Spark to Mavic Pro?

    True it has a much greater range, though I wouldn't say that it's normally 4-5k. There are a lot of "it depends" factors like where you are, what you are surrounded by, if you have line of sight (remember that you always should be able to see it), and so on. But yes it's definitely at least a...

    The different between mavic pro & mavic 2 pro & mavic 2 zoom

    Well... that's just silly. o_O

    Who bought? :) I just ordered mine.

    I'm wondering which of you guys will be the first to see if the Gen II props fit onto the original Mavics :)

    Portrait mode?

    Are you talking portrait vs. landscape, i.e. vertical vs. horizontal shots? There's a rather odd swiping of the screen from right to left that doesn't seem to always work but after a few tries does indeed do that and has a button for the change in orientation. I believe you need to be in the...

    The different between mavic pro & mavic 2 pro & mavic 2 zoom

    Noticeably heavier. I"m sure it's fine but I'm a bit sorry to see that.

    a safer way to catch your Mavic

    If you're saying it, you've probably seen it and it's true. But curious where it says this. Link?
