    Mavic 2 got caught in an unexpected downpour

    Rain water has a few dust particles per million by weight. Its almost electrically non conductive because its almost pure water( an insulator). Modern electronics die more often from tap water creating short circuits all over the board(s) and frying sensitive small parts. I wouldn't consider it...

    Gimbal

    Has it landed hard on a back arm? Unfold both the left and right back and see if one side is looser than the other or unfolds further under slight pressure. That is almost impossible to notice unless your looking for it but causes the same gimbal symptoms described.

    Need help! Which mobile device are you using with DJI Fly?

    LG G7ThinQ was several hundred less than S9 at the time. 1000 nits for 3 minutes then have to swipe menu press ultbright then back key to resume flight. Its a piss factor but the phone beats S9 by far at loud clear sound/music. There is a newer LG 8 I haven't checked it out. If the screen would...

    Have a Lightweight body for Dji Mavic2 P/Z.

    Viking: theres a manufacturing concept called planned obsolescence. The question was not dumb, someone asked if anyone else thought about ways to improve the drones performance. Its very well engineered but that doesnt mean that different textures or lighter weight parts wouldn't incrimentally...

The old battery swells...

    Alientech, Titan, Nanosync, 4HAWKs. Which for 2019?

    D: None of the above. The stock antennas are ~2 or 3db. The radiation pattern is an evenly distributed "bubble" but still puts the pilot in a relatively strong field of EM. Directional high gain antenna systems focus an intense beam forward in an enlongated oval and also a small but equally...

    New pilot tips pleaseeee

    I would first get a personal article insurance policy to cover the cost of drone and tax. DJI refresh is great unless you have a fly away or crash in an area you cant get too like the top of a tree. DJI and State farm allowed me to learn how to fly by replacing several crashes and one platinum...

    Front LED question

    The color is probably an option in the parameter table...does anybody know where to find an index of mav 2 parameters and plain english description? It would be cool if there is a specific parameter that changes the front light color, I like the green but am afraid to mess with code words and...
