I am 100% against changing the current NPS/NFS rules. I do not want to see drones in these areas during hikes, too many stupid operators and "influencers" causing problems already. They already have a method for special permits, no need to re-invent the wheel. I can find other places to fly.

Thanks for adding! To be clear - does this list only show your site advertisers? I have seen other forum accounts with "Approved Vendor" under their name but I don't see them on this directory.

Thanks I will keep that in mind. In my case it was a defective unit out of the box. Replacement unit did not show the same problems and I am fully working now. Cheers.

Hmm strange, it's showing a message at the top now: "Awaiting approval before being displayed publicly." Maybe the auto-mod rules are too sensitive thinking I'm spam? Not sure sorry I'm too new here.

Good call thanks, will add to process!

Test flight success, I now have a working gimbal on my M2Z. Thanks everyone for your feedback, excited to start building flight skills & capture some amazing views!

Very good call, I missed spelling that out as I was typing that outline. I also start in P mode. Also missed stating to wait for the 11 satellites and home point to auto set which is important. Will add later, hard to do on my phone in the field. Thanks!

Thinking about heading out for a quick test-flight soon. Just created another thread to make sure I have the sequence down 100% first. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Chances are I'm over-thinking but better to be too prepared than not enough...

Hi everyone, recently picked up a M2Z. Immediately had a defect & exchanged for another one. Now on my second unit I want to double-check I am doing everything right to rule out user error. (Also yes, I have read the full manual). Seems like most people who feel drones are a "toy" just take...

Called Best Buy main support hotline yesterday (3/16) and was told I can do the in-store exchange without a restocking fee. This conflicted with what I was told during original purchase but maybe the teenager behind the register didn't really know (not his fault - look how confused I am even...

I understand that course of thinking, but I am 100% against giving DJI any more of my money until this is corrected. Will post back when DJI responds to my support ticket. Need to give them a chance to make it right and I know they are closed today (also of course COVID-19 right now). Thanks...

Winds are gusting today but even to a novice like me the gimbal seems jacked up. Doesn't seem to move correctly and locks up doing the re-calibration. Edit: after re-watching my own video I think it further confirms a hardware defect. Definitely was not that shaky from the wind. Doesn’t seem...

Here is a video showing the failure: Have additionally created DJI support request #2652316. I will check more with Best Buy regarding the exchange. I agree this would be ideal. Also going to see what DJI says if they contact me tomorrow.

Camera points forward after power on cycle. Does not flop around. Nuding the camera slightly does nothing, still get the error. Two flights today both around 45 seconds. First flight error came up quickly. Second flight was 30 seconds in. Power cycling does nothing to correct the error. Using...

The gimbal can move 100% freely on my hard floor right now, I see no reason to raise it up on books. Clearance issues are not the problem. Gimbal & camera spin around as I would expect on device startup. When I first powered on & connected everything the first time it immediately wanted to...
