Looking for accessories

[Elton Hammonds]

I ordered my Mavic 2 Pro yesterday and am frantically looking for a few accessories.

Here's what's still on my wishlist:

1. Landing skids with flotation
2. ND filters
3. Lanyard for controller & Nexus 9 tablet

The skids with flotation is VERY important because I live in Florida on a lake.

The ND filters are obviously important because this is the sunshine state. They were shown on the DJI website, but unavailable right now.

I just ordered a Nexus 9 tablet for the controller because DJI tech support told me it is one of the recommended devices. (I'll attach the list to this post)

I hope the Nexus 9 will fit in the arms at the bottom of the controller, else I'm going to have to find someone to offer some sort of additional mounting contraption... (Any advice based upon anyone's experience would be appropriated...)

Also, given that this is my first drone, I plan to fly with my wife, so I ordered the drone bundled with their racing edition goggles for her to follow along as I'm focused on the flight controls.

Does anyone see any problems with this setup or the way I'm approaching this?

I'm a former Naval Flight Officer, but this is my first drone, so I'm a FNG again...LOL

That was obviously supposed to say appreciated, but I don't see an edit option...

"When you make typos, the errorist win!" LMFAO

Good news on the skids...

After leaving a message on FB, I got a reply and the skids with flotation are going to be offered!

This will be nice for those of us that want to keep the drone off the ground during launch and landing.

Not to mention, keep it from sinking of it does end up in the drink.

I live on and around lots of water, so I'm looking forward to trying my hand at water landings and takeoffs while filming.

Here's a video of the skids that are being redesigned to fit our M2Ps and M2Zs.

They’re not available for another month. You might as well hold onto your cash for awhile

I just noticed that too what I put the Polar Pro vivid filters into my cart.

Thank you again for the heads up on them!

I hate having poor impulse control... I had to get them on order or I won't sleep at all.

We can't go wrong with them.

You do know Polar Pro has an Android app that makes filter # suggestions, right?

Skins available on Amazon.de

Yes! I love it for the Golden Hour countdown, too.

ND filters cannot come soon enough. ISO100, f/11, just to get into the 1/1xx range.

I have found that even with very short grass or slightly uneven ground the camera will not fully initialize. It gets hung up on the ground surface. Leg extensions will be a must!
