What have you ordered for your M2P so far?

[Lon Denard]

Not to go off topic too much, but yeah. Southern UAE gets rain 3 or 4 days a year.
But it's not all heavenly, temps from June to August are 35° Celsius at the break of dawn and 55° at noon. It kinda gets hot lol.

Yea you said it! I did two tours over there...no thanks.

Just received. Nanuk 920 hard case.

That's a slick looking case!

 

[Elton Hammonds]

I myself picked up :
the fly more kit
Right angle type c cable (to connect mobile device to bottom usb port)

I may pick up polarized filters and a landing pad.
The landing pad because I mostly for from the sandy desert or rocky terrain.
But I'm not adverse to hand landing it.

I may buy a mount to attach my Huawei m5 pro 10"tablet.

Otherwise I'll just use my Samsung note 8.

I've temporarily scrapped my pad, but will be adding it again since it serves as such a highly visible point of reference from the air.

Good thread for accessory ideas.

Thanks

Thanks. I haven't been online much with my life getting so crazy in the last couple of months, but hopefully the haters and trolls will leave this thread alone because I wanted it to serve as a repository of ideas for anyone interested in making their hobby safer and more enjoyable.

I would love one of those, but I have too many hobbies and I'm trying to avoid bankruptcy. LMFAO

Actually, there are two versions and one purports to be waterproof but here's their own take on how well it works or might work depending on water depth (not very deep)

Amazon.com: Customer Questions & Answers

"It still transmits under water but the water attenuates the signal quite a lot. We have actually taken some data on this and made some calculations. What we found is that 6 inches of submersion would cut the maximum range of operation to about 1/3 of a mile, 18 inches of submersion would get you down to about 400 feet of range and at 6 feet of submersion you lose all contact, even from directly above the tag. With these kinds of losses there is little that can be done to improve the situation, even if the transmitter was 100 times the power it would not even double the depth at which the system would operate. "

I keep toying with the idea but so far have not sprung for either version. I can see losing it in a snowy field - amazing how snow can conceal the crater!!!

Well, if people were to pair that version with my iRepairMD flotation skids, it sounds like a winning combination for just about any aquatic disaster.

I guess I know what my next drone gadget will be!

All I have to do is get my motorcycle restoration finished, my WRX STi upgrades completed, but a few more holographic sights for my carbines, wait for my contractor to install my new windows and doors and a few other things I've already got going on at the moment. SMH LOL

 

[Elton Hammonds]

That is a beautiful case!

People ALWAYS fall for it and buy them.

Guilty as charged, G.

i think this is all, for now, of what i can remember, as i was ordering parts for an another build i do now, so it got a bit tangled together into different orders.

Had a Nanuk case but switched to a GPC case because of the extra storage for my iPad Mini 4.

Has anyone found a good hard case for the Mavic 2 that is similar to the hard case that is included with the Mavic Air? I am looking for something exactly like that to hold/protect JUST the drone without increasing it's size significantly. The one that comes with the Air is absolutely perfect but I can't seem to find many larger versions for the Mavic 2. I really don't like putting a drone in a bag without some sort of cover/case around it.

This one might be OK actually:
