    Crash testing the DJI Mavic 2!

    That was a Mavic 2 Zoom, can we assume the Pro meets the same tests equally?

    Birdside antenna messed up?

    Is there anyway the gimbal connections could affect the main radio signal? The reason I replaced the gimbal mount was that it had developed a crack over time, and I'd had a piece of gorilla tape holding it steady. I had no issues until I removed the gimbal and replaced the mount plate.

    Birdside antenna messed up?

    I recently had to replace the gimbal mount plate on my p3s. That seemed to go well enough, and a short testflight gave me confidence that it was working fine. However, now when I try and fly any distance (over about 220 feet) I loose radio signal. I maintain full video, I just get the rc...

    Remote keeps connecting and disconnecting (every 5 seconds) to drone after gimbal replacement

    I had to replace the gimbal mount plate - after doing that I can only get about 220 feet of range - I tried a different RC with the same results. Is there something in the camera/gimbal that also affects the 5.8ghz radio? I had assumed that the AC's connection with the Remote was controlled by...

    Remote Control Antenna on the AC

    An update; I don't think it's an AC issue, since the remote antenna is never touched when replacing the gimbal mount plate. Any ideas?

    Remote Control Antenna on the AC

    I had to replace the Gimbal Mount Plate a few weeks ago (I'd 'fixed' it before with gorilla glue). Before I replaced the part I was getting a 1.5-2 miles (using the antenna mods on the RC). After replacing the mount, I did a quick and dirty test to make sure it could fly, but didn't check...

    Metal Props

    LOL - I didn't ask for their opinion, I only asked if there was a source. I'm not saying what I'm doing is right or wrong - it is the overweening need of the most of the thread to provide their own sanctimonious input.

    Metal Props

    So, long story short - there are none. I find it hilarious the number of folks that needed play the pedant or internet judge. LOL - I know how to land and hand catch, I have a carpet segment I use for pad. I still think it would be cool and interesting to try metal props. Gasp and clutch...

    Metal Props

    Any one have a line on metal replacement props? Something that would cut through taller grass on landing?

    Magic power 5.3 upgrade

    Interesting, thanks, since you're knowledgeable, what's the diff between BO and US? When I go to set 27dbm, it will also set that parameter.

    Magic power 5.3 upgrade

    Does this mean that the Magic Power doesn't do anything for the US drones?
