Don't forget the STOP/BRAKE button in manual... has saved my bacon a few times with the Avata 2.

I sincerely apologize. It's very easy to forget the limitations of this medium. You can be having a beer with a buddy, they say something utterly obvious, and you retort, "thanks for pointing that out, Captain Obvious!" You both have a belly laugh and carry on with good socializing. One of...

Still the bias for footage. Some people fly just for fun, no "footage" involved. In such cases the OA can be very helpful. As for your contribution, you've been very helpful, and clearly have a lot of knowledge and experience to draw from. However your comments regarding OA in this thread...

Yes. However ir can be controlled via phone via wifi with live video feed and virtual sticks. Granted, there are limitations and disadvantages to this method, but again the suitability depends on application. Regardless, my point about removal was simply addressing transportation, not actual...

Did you mean ATTI? Even with insufficient light for VPS to function, if it has a solid GPS lock it won't.

@WilliamDaugherty, judging by your posts here and on mavicpilots, media capture, often in professional missions, is a great deal of your focus, which influences your bias. For those of us largely doing this purely for fun, the particulars of media capture – cinematic capability, quality, etc. –...

@WilliamDaugherty, wouldn't it be nice if someone made an antenna guard with RID integrated... THAT'S something id think about buying. Better yet, DJI, how about creating an "advanced" antenna module with RID integrated? Would be nice. Bet they could sell it for $100, even more. Professionals...

Methinks one has to be pretty abusive with the drone to break those antennas. However, if anticipating that sort of extreme stress to them, a protector makes sense. Me? If its going to be in a situation that hard on the antennas I just take the module off. Personally I dont find unscrewing and...

Not meaning to be personally critical... Every time I read points like this it just strikes me as a bit unnecessary and silly. Kind of like replying to a review for a new e-bike with, "...but it's not good for traveling hundreds of miles, picking up 5 bags of concrete from the hardware store, or...

I've got a Tello, and I'd grab the original Neo over that toy every time. Neo 2 vs. Tello? OMG!

In my opinion concern about these antennas is paranoid. They're flexible, and would require extreme abuse to damage. I see no useful purpose for these various enclosure protectors, and am not surprised that their rigid composition is what's cracking and breaking, not the antennas.

Pimp your drone 😁 Pretty cool!

@Chrislaf, was there damage? if yes, repair or replace?

Count me excited! Looks like it will be more functional than I expected, incorporating features from the latest camera drones and the Neo 2 (as well as everything expected that's Avata-like). My Mini 5 Pro may start gathering dust, although the media will still be better from the M5P. 1/1.1"...

Is that you, or are you not in the picture? Just curious where you were when you shot all those stills.
