Hi Droniac, You mentioned: ....."A lesson well learned.... Don't give up and ALWAYS have good satellite connection before takeoff" Do you recall how many satellites you connected? vjpapa

It varies from drone manufacturer and model. Information appears to be mostly anecdotal rather than scientific. The Mavic series appears to require more satellites than other DJI drones. There are two satellite systems used, GPS(31 satellites operated by U.S.) and GLONASS(24 satellites operated...

Buy the MA2- you won't be disappointed. It's very user friendly and might be the only drone you need for a long time!

What do you mean "it won't work" ? Did you check if you have at least 12 satellites? GPS status?

You might try a factory reset.

I think Rockycat is spot on!

Ok, I believe you are correct. You seem to be emphasizing the Exposure Triangle(attached) which I believe is constantly changing in HDR mode. So now please help me with this question concerning my MA2 with a fixed aperture of f/2.8 : Will my MA2 in HDR mode(no filter) out perform HDR with a...

The MA2 firmware "zoom update" is only digital zoom! No different than cropping in post. If you are interested in true optical zoom, then check out the pricey Mavic 2 Zoom(2X optical zoom/24-48mm).

Thanks so much, ton of information but all made sense. My MA2 has fixed aperture of f/2.8, so in HDR mode the ISO and Shutter Speed are "dancing in concert" as the light changes. Crazy numbers I would probably never use manually.

Nicely done! You might try the same scene with: more light(no ND filter), then with an ND8, and finally with a polarizing lens(no ND filter).

Ray is correct! I've read and practiced this routine- it works.

Dave nailed it!!!

You might consider the Smart Controller. It's perfect with the MA2 you need the fly app but after that there are no interruptions with the exception of caution notifications, such as low battery, entering a restricted zone, altitude max, etc.
