    Lost an M2P and P4P in July; just found the P4P and wondering if its flight log will give a clue for the location of the M2P

    After a long pause, Spring's here and I'm going to try to locate and retrieve my Mavic 2 Pro again. I tried to get the flight logs from the P4P but it didn't work. I installed Assistant 2 on Catalina, and while it installed correctly, another piece of software that it supposedly needed...

    Are Idaho state parks no-fly zones?

    Fast forward to the year 2021, and there's now a web site on Idaho drone laws. It seems there's a nothing against flying drones in state parks in Power County, which was where I was trying to fly. See Drone Laws in Idaho (2021) - UAV Coach

    Lost an M2P and P4P in July; just found the P4P and wondering if its flight log will give a clue for the location of the M2P

    Around mid-July I flew my M2P using a new version of Litchi, Waypoints mode. The signal was lost, and the M2P never came home. (By the way I flew Litchi Waypoints a lot without this problem.) I was able to look at Litchi's flight log on the iPhone but of course it had no record of what...

    How close is too close to cell towers?

    Do you need the csv files? If so I can try using dropbox as you suggested. Meantime, as i mentioned before, after I lost the Phantom I hiked up with its transmitter to where I was able to barely get a signal. I first tried Litchi's "find your drone" feature, but it didn't do anything. So I...

    How close is too close to cell towers?

    Now, here is the flight record for the P4P that I used for trying to find the M2P with! The P4P ended up landing at a distance of 70 meters away from the last point on this flight record.

    How close is too close to cell towers?

    I tried to attach a Litchi flight log, but it's a csv file and this program won't let me attach it. Any suggestions?

    How close is too close to cell towers?

    We live north of Chinese Peak in the Pocatello, Idaho area. Chinese Peak has a bunch of cell phone antennae on it. A few days ago I flew a Mavic 2 Pro using Litchi Waypoints mode over the ridge road of Chinese Peak. Just a little over 1000 ft beyond the ridge, the signal was lost. I thought I...

    P3P lost during litchi waypiont mission!

    Well, each drone has a gps that can normally communicate directly with the transmitter, which really acts as a receiver in this application. However, it is also nice to have an extra gps that communicates with mobile phone towers, because if the drone is out of transmitter range but is in mobile...

    P3P lost during litchi waypiont mission!

    When I lost my P2V a couple of years ago, a hiker found it half a year later and reported that the battery was still on! So I would suggest that as you walk near the suspected location, have your transmitter with you and try to make the aircraft do something to make noise, blink lights, or send...

    Eachine goggles, design flaw

    Question: Can you use the Eachine Goggles Two with the Phantom 4 Pro? If so, do I have to invest in an HDMI output adapter for another $99? Or can I connect the goggles to the MicroUSB port? Thanks!
