    3 Fog at the Golden Gate Bridge

    I will say it's a beautiful photo but thats it. I grew up and lived many years not very far from this bridge. I'm having the same issues as Osmosis on how this shot could have been captured "legally"? The photo speaks for itsself as it appears to be capitured at an elevation higher than the...

    Mini 2 on an MSC Cruise Ship

    We cruise a lot on Princess Cruises. I don't know where you received your information from but would definitely check again with Princess Cruises before you take your drone. I have talked with a couple of their officers who were head's of security on a couple of different ships and all have...

    Mavic Pro 2 Powering on by Itself

    File a repair request with DJI. I sent the defective battery to Texas and received a new one from them about a week later. At least this time they stood behind their product. I was happy with the service & response. Good luck!

    Another Drone (Mavic 2) Turning Itself On

    I don't know if you figured out your situation yet but I was having the same issue with my Mavic Pro 2 turning on by itself. I took the battery out of the AC and left it sit for about 10 days. When I proceeded to check the battery status it was dead. I attempted to charge it and it wouldn't...

    Mavic Pro 2 Powering on by Itself

    Hi All, Thanks for your responses. Just a quick follow up to my issue. I removed the battery from the Mavic Pro 2 and left it on my computer desk for about 10 days. I went to fly the other day and pressed the power button on this battery to check the status. None of the lights lights would...

    Mavic Pro 2 Powering on by Itself

    Is it because you are worried the battery might fail while stored in the AC or is is something else? Just curious.....

    Mavic Pro 2 Powering on by Itself

    Hi All, I’m new to flying and have a Mavic Pro 2 that I purchased prior to Christmas 2021. I wanted to be able to fly a couple of hours so I purchased additional batteries (1 came with drone + 4 additional) and marked each one so I could keep track of the ones I use. When I fly, I start with...

    Smart Remote Controller or Basic Controller / Fly More Combo

    I have a cousin that started flying a couple of months before me. He uses the stock controller/iphone combination and one time forgot to put the phone in airplane mode. Not sure what happened but some setting in his phone allowed another app to override the fly app resulting in a crash. That...

    Hello From Truckee CA!

    Thanks. I have been doing that and I found this one video on setup and operation that I have watched maybe a dozen times. I have only been out flying once but I plan to watch that video prior to going out every time I go out until it fully sinks in. The manual, videos and information I found...

    Hello From Truckee CA!

    That is a nice shot! I really like living here. If you look at your pic, I live on the backside of the mountain just below the "red" arrow. It's a great place to be.....Thanks for sharing.

    Hello From Truckee CA!

    Hi Everyone! I have wanted a drone for a long time. The videos I have viewed on YouTube are really inspiring. I finally stopped procrastinating and purchased a Mavic 2 Pro the other day. This is my first drone and have not had the opportunity to fly it yet. It's snowing so the poor weather...
