    Avoiding Invalid Commands

    I've learned (the hard way) that there are some commands (including some individual settings within a particular command) that just are not applicable for a particular drone (M2P, in my case) and m...

    3. "Drone Too Far Off Course" Using Waypoints But Not With Destination

    I suspect that the difference, in layman's terms is that on a "path" the drone logic tries to keep the drone within a set distance (horizontal and vertical) from that path.  With a "destination", t...

    3. Speed (max) setting

    Another benefit of flying slower is the better quality of images.  This is especially true if your drone camera has a "rolling shutter" instead of a "global" or physical iris-type shutter, and you ...

    3. Custom Map Layers

    You might take a look at QGIS, an open source GIS program.  The learning curve is a little steep, but importing a GeoTIFF file is easy, and you can add additional geo-referenced layers.  Another ap...

    3. Dronelink vs In-Drone Altitude Limits

    Thanks, Jim, for making that clear.  I was pretty sure that was what was going on, so now I have a better handle on staying within the FAA limits, especially when doing mapping flights at roughly c...

    Dronelink vs In-Drone Altitude Limits

    Really, just a clarification issue.  I think I understand what's going on, but I'd like to be sure. In a recent mapping flight, I had my flight profile set at something like 350 ft above terrain le...

    3. Photo Numbering Rollover

    Thanks, Jim. I suspected it was a DJI thing.  I was surprised that it rolled over at 999 instead of 9999.  Thankfully, it started a new folder instead of overwriting earlier ones in the original fo...

    Photo Numbering Rollover

    The weather finally cooperated and I was able to run my multi-battery mapping flights over my 30-odd acres of property.  It didn't go without hitches, mostly my fault, but also a bit of wind pushin...

    3. Garbled Audio on Smart Controller

    Just a confirmation... exact same equipment as Douglas.  Brand new in October. The only other issue I've ever had was a loss-of-signal/disconnect that was likely due to range/obstruction/antenna or...

    3. Garbled Audio on Smart Controller

    Some follow-up here... I got a break in the weather today, rather unexpectedly, and did a quick DroneLink flight (a simple launch, go to orbit, and RTH). The audio is still garbled, no different th...
