    What's the best buy now?

    A year or two ago on this forum the Mavic Air 2S seemed to be regarded as the sweet spot in DJI's lineup. It offered good range, good obstacle avoidance, and good pics--at least for anyone not using a drone professionally. Since then DJI has introduced some new models, so what's their best...

    preprogramming a route beyond the reach of remote antenna

    Well, fecal matter. I guess that answers the question. Thanks.

    preprogramming a route beyond the reach of remote antenna

    Is there a way to upload to the drone a pre-programmed route that reaches beyond contact with the remote controller? I'm guessing it might involve drawing the route on a map with your finger. For example, if I want it to fly over a site 3 miles away for footage because I can't get any closer to...

    Mavic 3 picture Released

    For me the drone is a toy I use occasionally. I definitely will not be paying that much to update a toy.

    Flying over water -- are all the drones the same?

    Yes, I did. Thank you. If you made the drone land on water, though, I didn’t see that.

    Flying over water -- are all the drones the same?

    (Mod Removed Language) The people on this forum are smart. When I got it, I didn't have an inkling there was so much to know about a drone. A "margin for error." I'll take that to heart, because I had noticed sudden and unexpected discrepancies in the altitude reading.

    Flying over water -- are all the drones the same?

    Okay, so as I take that in I also wonder why the altitude reading gets so far off when I'm flying over a soybean field. I can't cite the specifics at this moment, but an altitude of, say, 17 feet over a grassed yard suddenly goes seriously awry over soybeans. I don't remember in which...

    Vimeo couldn't find that video.

    Flying over water -- are all the drones the same?

    The rescue jackets don’t interfere with the drone’s maneuverability, flight time, or responsiveness?

    Flying over water -- are all the drones the same?

    I live near saltwater and almost directly on a marsh with a channel running through it, and I've seen a lot of warnings about flying over water. It has to do with the drone' ability to interpret the reflections from the water, I think. When I checked the DJI site, there is a specific warning not...

    Guy flying drone over thousands!

    Aside from the legalities and proprieties of the flight, how did he crash it into a tree? I thought these drones had sensors to prevent such accidents.

    Setting waypoints for Mavic Air 2

    I didn't know what Litchi is. When I searched for a definition it came up as a misspelling for a food. Then when I Googled it I came up with an app for Apple and Android. Is it an app that controls the flight of the drone?
