    How can a beginner systematically get started with FPV? I'm already over 30 years old.

    I flew my first Avata in sport most of the time and thought I was ready to try manual without any training otherwise. Just have confidence. I didn't even remove the spring tension from the left stick, I figured I could work with it. Well, shot off at about 40+ miles per hour and for about 8...

    What is your light set-up? Here's mine:

    I use one light on the top at night. Firehouse ARC V.

    Travel backpack for Mavic 4 pro

    If you shop around, the Lowepro BP450 (maybe you like BP350) is an option I have. I would not call it a hiking backpack but it does have a waist belt and will carry the gear well. I have had as many as 3 drones and 2 cameras in the bag. It can be had around your price.

    DJI MINI 5 PRO QUICK RELEASE 360° PROPELLER GUARD Anybody Tried a set yet

    The limits they place are based on reduced battery. They want you to stay within a short range so you can return to home. The height is stability related. I dont recall any past limits with guards but I really dont use them other than one set I had with a mini 2 to fly indoors. I wonder if this...

    SD card needed?

    Install the SD card, use a few times on something non-critical and see if you get any errors. I have used all sorts of cards over time and the only time the speed made much difference was in getting the data off the card onto the desktop for processing. I know you can find a combo that wont work...

    Travel backpack for Mavic 4 pro

    Maybe something from the Shimoda brand? They are meant for hiking, rear entry, focused on camera gear which works well for drone gear as well.

    How often do you use your gimbal cover?

    I put mine on when I’m done for the day.

    Is the Mavic Air 3s worth the upgrade?

    The Mavic 3 series is on the older Ocusync but that does not mean it’s bad. It does mean that it uses different controllers than the Air3S and others like the Mini 5 Pro. If you go with a Pro controller in the future, the investment will be in an older system. Again, not bad, just something to...

    RC-2 worth the upgrade

    I only use my RC 2 for lighter travel in place of the Pro 2. What you have now is a better viewing experience with the added hassle of charging the tablet and controller. None of the 3 options to control are best, it’s down to what works best for you. Personally, I like the Pro 2 for the all in...

    Night time strobe

    I only ever use one on the top bare but in your case, it sounds like a good option.

    Are all M5P's in the US really grey market??

    I bought mine via eBay with the idea that if I break it, it’s on me. Out of the box issues have not been an issue for me in the past. Not that it can’t happen, I just have not had that issue. I have crashed a few times and have used the care program that I currently do not have access to but I...

    Night time strobe

    I use the Firehouse Arc V and have it on the forward part of the drone. No GPS issues with this or any of my other drones. I use the 3M Dual Lock vs regular velcro. I dont guess there was a remote when I bought mine 4-5 years ago but dont really need something else to keep track of so its fine...

    Master Airscrew props and Mini 5 Pro

    Do you guys prefer the MAS over the stock prop? I have had some in the past for other drones. They were fine, the bright color was nice, but they never felt as nice as the stock prop to me.

    RC Pro 2 joysticks

    Both of those options are shown to be the same length as the original. The OP is looking for a shorter option.

    Dji purchases AFTER Christmas

    I sent you a direct message but so far as I can tell, the power level is FCC. I can fly to the same areas I have with my past drones bought direct from DJI. I see similar signal performance with my Mini 5 Pro that I saw with my Mavic 3 Pro but it’s maybe even better. I have not tested again with...
