    Pulled the trigger on new Mavic 2 Pro

    Ordered my mavic 2 pro today. Trying to sell my mavic pro to offset the cost a little but no luck so far. I always need a backup to my p4p becuse i have an aerial photography business. Excited to get the mavic pro.

    General questions...

    I went to best buy and paid cash. I figured the price is basically the same no matter where you go so why wait? Plus it's supporting a local business. Not like best buy is some great company or something but at least I got.it the same day. Looking at buying a gopro hero 5 or 6 and if I do I will...

    Crowd Sourced business models (Dronebase/Droners.io)

    Yep I have heard this same thing time and time again. The easy answer is to not fly for dronebase etc. Go out and start your own business and charge what you feel is fair. Their are a lot of guys doing exactly this but the ones making big bucks are at a higher level of equipment and experience...

    Owning a drone does not make you a surveyor or photogrammetrist.

    Actually that's not what I was saying at all but ok. I know drone pilots that had a lock on aerial photography business before the DJI revolution. They built their own drones and did a great job. It was a niche market for them, there was very little competition. Then DJI came in and changed...

    Owning a drone does not make you a surveyor or photogrammetrist.

    Lots of people are threatened by "amateur' drone pilots. Fact is that the actual act of flying the drone and getting pictures is so easy that most anyone can do it. The people that have a lot of time and money invested in this technology are threatened by it because they get undercut. I don't...

    Ha ha. You can actually buy this.

    a lot of people are confusing flying a drone for recreation and flying one for work. I wear a vest and have a hard hat available if in need one when I fly my drone for my business. when I'm flying for fun I dont wear one.

    P4 Advanced Weak Transmission / Disconnects

    I would also agree to what ripper said. When I purchased my p4p brand new It had the exact same problem that you noted despite my app and firmware being up to date. Once I got my controller firmware up to date the problem went away.

    BMPCC

    I see Black Magic designs has finally come out with the 4K version of the pocket cinema camera. Maybe the price of the original 1080 model will finally come down to justify the cost. I always wanted one but felt it was just a little more than I needed. Of course the new standard is 4K so its...

    Thinking of selling my 4Pro

    if you want a good drone that travels well then the Mavic cant be beat. Its camera is good but not great. I had 2 of them at one point because I won one in a contest. I still have one. They are so compact that you can take it just about anywhere. The video is as good as a gopro and it has all...

    F450 N3 total noob need help

    Look up a guy on YT called dennis baldwin. You may have to go way back in his video archive to find it but he has a couple of good videos on setting up all the switches on the taransis. I would bet they are the same for the N3 because you are using dji assistant.

    F450 N3 total noob need help

    F450 N3 total noob need help

    can you find a cheap naza? consider getting the naza m v2 to start with then graduate up to the n3. That would at least allow you to compare, if one worked and the other didn't then that may tell you something. Another trick may be to pick up a cheap servo and test the outputs on the receiver If...

    F450 N3 total noob need help

    You tube. I have set up almost that exact configuration. It's not to tough. It's been a while but I managed to get it done. I can't remember exactly but you right at the point where you need to connect it to the pc and do the programing. I think your first step is to biND the receiver to the...
