    Keep my MPro, or buy used

    I still have my MPRO1 that I purchased in 2017 + 2 batteries. Like you, I do not fly very frequently, so every once in a while I will test the batteries by charging them fully, and then monitor them closely in a low hover. I have actually not seen much performance deterioration in them. Your...

    We will be flying my mavic pro For the first time after six years.

    3 days since your post...but I just saw it. I assume you flew it already? Curious, if you had to (or did) do any FW update?

    CHECK YOUR PROPS. I learned my lesson today. Also, those "crashed/lost" drone alarm beacons come in handy after a crash.

    I was going to fly my 2017 vintage MP1 today, so I thought I'd dust it off first. (Literally. It's been sitting on my dresser for 4 months or so since I've flown it LAST, so it was pretty dusty). Anyway, I noticed this crack on the trailing edge of one of the props. NEVER HAVE I CRASHED OR...

    Original Mavic Pro - auto control of the camera pointing?

    You can do all of this with Litchi.

    Anyone familiar with Mazon, IL area?

    There is a park/boat launch underneath the Hwy 47 bridge going across the river in Morris. I think the river runs pretty much east-west at that location there...might be good sunrise shots

    Crash your Drone? In the WATER? Hers an easy fix.

    Anecdotal evidence here. Many moons ago my HTC phone went through an entire cycle in my washing machine....wash, rinse, spin...the whole deal. 1 week in a ziploc bag of rice worked...phone was good as new.

    DJI selling FBI Drone Detection Systems - Who knew?

    Would a 2017 MP1 running 01.04.0000 firmware be detected? What data?

    Hmmn. Sounds like maybe a bad RC?? Maybe you could pick up a used RC off of eBay or something from someone who has lost/crashed their MP??

    Connection

    I assume you have also already tried both USB ports on the rc as well?

    Connection

    I had this same problem a few years back. Phone would not connect to my controller. I diagnosed the problem by trying to connect my phone to my PC. It turned out that the USB port on my phone (Galaxy S7 Edge) went bad, and would only allow charging, not data transfer. I tried cleaning the...

    Scenic location near Chicago for practice

    Yes, I would avoid downtown like the plague and head west. Galena, Dubuque, etc...

    Are waypoints flights always curved??

    Maybe set a very low speed at the corners? I use Litchi...I've never tried this but I think it might give you a "square" corner...

    Water damaged Mini 2

    No worries. Completely agree there are likely better ways. Also, for my ordeal I actually used Minute Rice.. it was all I had.
