    Which of the following things can permanently damage your gimbal?

    This may be a difficult question, not sure, but under normal use, in terms of hours, is there an estimate of the lifespan of a drone? Perhaps Mr. Thunderdrones probably knows the weak spots of a Mavic 2 Pro with the "Hasselblad" camera.

    New (2019) Canada Drone Pilot Exam, very hard (but I passed)

    My dear Decado, I think your signoff "Just putting it out there" is not quite the summation of what you've written. I'm astounded at the time you and AngryGardener have posted to my modest request for help. My response to those who have gone far and beyond what I hoped to receive, "You are a...

    Micro SD Card Removal Tool (by DDH)

    This is just FYI, nothing else, no complaints, except with the US postal service and the Canadian government (I don't think Canada Post is quite so expensive, but it's getting there). For Canadians the cost is $18.00USD which is $24.00 canuck dollars.

    Phantom Rain - 26 minutes in the Rain ! Mavic 2 Series

    If anyone would like to know about Phantomrain customer service, I had occasion to call this week. Coal, the owner, answered the phone and was exemplary in his response to my issue. None of the "Press one for...". The owner answered the phone and his response was clear, personal, friendly, and...

    Mavic 2; be gentle when putting on your lens filters.

    I remember the old one about birth control and putting a pebble in your shoe because it would make you limp. I'm an English teacher and I still need help too, Rob, no worries. From people's varying abilities and the (mostly) lower standards on most forums, I don't think we have to worry much.

    Intelligent Battery Life

    Is there any way to control the battery discharge? In the good old bad days, the radio control airplane guys for the Ni-cad batteries had chargers/dischargers since they had to be completely cycled to avoid the dreaded "memory". Is there any way to discharge the dji (specifically the Mavic 2P)...

    Smart Controller not seeing SD card after latest update

    I just switched cards from the drone to the controller and all of a sudden, it saw it. Both were high-end cards.

    Smart Controller not seeing SD card after latest update

    My SD card isn't recognized either. I'll try via the settings as you suggested.

    Not bad price on Mavi 2P

    In addition to the above; I stand corrected on several points, and reading the replies, it seems obvious I should have been more judicious in my recommendation and posted link. Please accept my apologies, and I shall be much more prudent from now on. Thanks for the thoughtful, considered responses.

    Not bad price on Mavi 2P

    I thought the picture was a Smart Controller. However, I have been corrected on a couple of points. I shall be more careful in the future

    Not bad price on Mavi 2P

    I have purchased many things from these guys and they were professional and business like. Not sure how the price compares for guys states side, but seeing how it appears to have the Smart Control the price seems reasonable...
