Hi from San Diego!

[davemgood]

Name is Dave. Hello to all. Just bought a new M2P. Using a Note 8 with my RC. Toying with the idea of buying a CrystalSky. Never owned a drone, but understand the aerodynamics. Anxious to get up to speed for my first flight. Baby steps first.

My initial questions are:

1. Is a CS high-brightness enough? I see several posts where ppl say they have to reduce the brightness on the Ultra, even in very bright environments.

2. What is your favorite add-on that boosts performance or pleasure in operating?

Onward and upward!

Dave

Welcome to the forum!

One of my favorite accessories is this gimbal lock. It's a lot easier to attach/remove than the OEM gimbal lock.

One of my favorite accessories are the 3 D printed leg extensions that allow me to land without being as concerned about debris under the Mavic and also allows me to hand catch using the rear leg extention "grab handle".

NICE, did you 3D print those yourself? I can see the need for those.

Welcome to MPs!
My fav is Sunnylife gimbal lock and leg extensions.
The iPad Pro 10.5 works great in direct sunlight. The previous iPads are visibly hard to see. Also a set of filters will improve your shots!
Good luck and Fly like you Stole it!

Awesome! You should sell them. I'd buy some!

Filters? Any recommendations on which ones and where?

Thanks Dave! They are made for the original Mavic Pro and I am not sure if they would fit the Mavic 2.
