So far.....
I'm reticent to use the term "know" as I am old enough to understand that I may not understand all I know about this, lol;
I've noticed:
The smart batteries discharge rather quickly unused. It's not uncommon to have under 60% after sitting for a couple of days. I top them off before a flight.
We use these batteries hard. They get hot. I would never drive a vaping battery this hard per fear of thermal run away. I love the fact that the charger will not charge a hot battery. I don't mind letting the battery cool one bit.
The
Mavic 2 always initializes in P mode regardless of position of mode switch. I like to try to remember to put the switch in P mode prior to flying so things match up from the beginning.
Trying to get used to always removing the gimbal guard even when transferring files. Made that "OoooPs" a few times now.
Trying to remember to review all my settings prior to each launch to include camera settings. Mine has the bizarre habit of setting the exposure offset to -3.
Camera focus often does not initialize right away. I try to always remember to force a focus at the beginning of a flight.
I don't get precision landing. Sometimes it does, usually it doesn't. I'm in the habit of hitting come home and stopping the process just before landing and finish the process manually.
Still playing around with luts and d-log. I'm not sure I have the patience and I don't want to start buying scads of the things. Found one I think I like from DJI, time will tell. Color grading in Premiere Pro eludes me. Again, I don't think I have the patience.
It serves me well to "warm up" every flight like I would with an instrument. Get the muscle memory warmed up a little before performing, so to speak.
The better I survey an area to fly the better the experience. Where are those annoying branches and such that the sensors are not going to react to.
Backing up is still making me nuts. Left is right, right is left.
My wife loves being a spotter. I am very blessed!!!!
