forced landing

Hello all. Twice in the past five or six flights my 2s went into "emergency landing" mode without any low battery warning or even going into RTH. When these happened I immediately looked at the battery indicator and it was in the red. I've never flown my batteries into the red. How it jumped...

Hi there, massive rookie mistakes on my side and feeling super stupid, but can't make it undone. What happened ? I went flying yesterday in strong winds which was the main/initial mistake. After take off (I had picked a higher spot to avoid losing connection with the surrounding mountains), I...

Hi crew, Looking for some help on how to find my missing DJI Mavic Pro drone. I was out filming at a wedding venue on Saturday, 10th December with my DJI Mavic Pro at a vineyard when my phone lost visual feed with the drone whilst in the air. During these moments the battery quickly depleted...

This week we went to the coast for a vacation, and as usual to get some shots of the area. I knew before leaving that the area was full of NFZs and chose my locations as carefully as possible to minimize conflicts. After doing my due diligence, and making my obligatory calls to the airports...
