    Intermittent Picture Problem on M2P

    Did you install the latest DJI Go4, version 4.3.62? If it still does not work, I recommend finding a used phone with Android older than version 14. Go4 is an old app, and I don't think they update it anymore. I use Huawei P30 and P30 Pro with Android 10 on my Mavic 2 drones.

    Intermittent Picture Problem on M2P

    Many people have problems running Go4 on a Pixel 7 with Android 14, I don't think I have heard of anybody made it work flawlessly. A personal experience is a friend with a Mavic 2 Pro, he bought a Pixel 7 and never got it to work with the drone. I had to give him an old Samsung S7, it worked...

    I am following a Dutch person on youtube who is now travelling solo on a motorcycle in the desert areas of Saudi, on her journey we can see more of the awesome landscape in your country. And meet the nice people. She also fly drone there with no problem. Search for itchy boots.

    Batteries slightly swelling after flight...cause of concern?

    Yes, that works. Also a zip tie will do. I have one of these clamps: https://www.ebay.com/itm/284664554045 No way the battery comes loose! I keep an eye on the battery voltage for each cell when flying, and land immediately if I see some irregularities.

    Valentines 72-hour sale

    Too good to be true? Yes, and then it is most likely a scam. Do a search for "is djidroner.com safe?" and you will see. Here are some links: https://dronewhispers.com/t/avoid-djidroner-com-my-costly-mistake/3219 https://www.scamdoc.com/view/2026165...

    Drone-hacks Mavic air 2

    Dronehacks requires a PC or laptop with Windows 10 or 11. Nothing else will work. I had some trouble connecting my Mavic 2 to my PC, and it turned out that the drone and/or Dronehacks is very picky on the cable you use. The best is to use the original cable that came with the drone. Or try...

    Skywatch Refusing Coverage?

    Haha, welcome to Norway :D There are so many tourists in Norway flying drones (especially in the north), so nobody cares as long as you follow the regulations and use common sense. Like you did in Lofoten when you heard the helicopter.

    Skywatch Refusing Coverage?

    It is very unlikely you will be asked about insurance, or hassled in any other way when flying in Norway. But one thing to be aware of is that Norway is VERY strict about flying within 5 km from airports. If you do, you will be caught by one of the best drone detection systems in the world, and...

    Skywatch Refusing Coverage?

    The link I gave you with information about insurance for drones in Norway is from the Norwegian Luftfartstilsynet (same as FAA in US), so information from them is up to date and official, and they clearly says that drones under 250 grams do not need insurance. And Norway is not a member of EU.

    Skywatch Refusing Coverage?

    If your drone is under 250 gram you do not need liability insurance in Norway: "The requirement for approved insurance under luftfartsloven § 11-2, does not apply to unmanned aircraft weighing less than 250 grams, including payload, and operated in the open category."...

    Air 3s vs air 2s low light performance

    There is no Hasselblad sensor or Hasselblad lens in any DJI drone. They have collaborated with Hasselblad when tuning the colour rendition in the images. DJI owns Hasselblad and can use the Hasselblad name as they wish. Which they also do;)
