Out of the few youtube tutorials I found liked this one the most. Basic skills but good to master and transfer the stick movements to muscle memory. It may sound odd but try some intense practicing one afternoon and then get a good night's sleep. Practice again the next day and chances are...

+1 for Airplane mode on your phone. Also stay clear of high power transmitters if possible. Even if the transmitters are out of the receive frequency of the drone the high power and especially any pulse modulation can intermittently "deafen" the drone and/or the controller. Had this issue...

I bought a Freewell polarizer this week and removed the polarizer and replaced it with a piece of IR filter material. I used some black double sided sticky tape to mount it and then paint over all the edges with a super black photographic matte black paint. Attached the IR filter to the gimbal...

Haven't tried that. I will try it out. I'm guessing it will definitely fight me if I try to invert it in flight:oops:

As far as I have found there is no option to change that behavior.

The range on the Nano is pretty good too but I have found that at longer distances the antenna can easily be blocked by objects on the ground, including people. In an ideal situation I would like to have the antenna on an extensible pole that I can mount at some height. Another question I...

I've had my Nano flip during landing when it drifted to the edge of the landing pad that was sitting on grass. It appeared that the props that were suddenly over the grass lost their thrust because of the rapidly changing surface characteristics. Less thrust over the grass and more thrust over...

This is more of an informational post to provide what I have found when looking into the possibility of adding an external antenna on the Lite+ / nano/ nano+ series. After watching a couple of youtube videos I found a video from AlienTech describing how to modify the EVO Lite+ or Nano RC to add...

Very good to know. Thank you. That was going to be my next test was flying with a tailwind :)

+1 for checking for pocket lint in the USB C port. That definitely got me one time!

I manually placed the IR filter flush against the Nano+ lens today and took some video outside as I walked around holding the drone. Moderate success. Was able to get some glowing trees in infrared but it was very cloudy so not very much IR light or black sky contrast. It was impossible to...

The video footage I took at 30 mph was pretty much unusable.

I haven't had this issue with Nano batteries but have encountered something like this with some 26650-5200mAh cells that I let discharge too far. None of my chargers would charge them and indicated the cells were bad. I had the charger hooked up to a lab power supply and could see that when I...

See post #18 from the thread I referenced earlier and see if that helps.

I used some 1/4 watt resistor leads attached to some micro-grabbers and then attached the voltmeter to probe the battery pins. Some alligator clamps would work as well if you have them. Even paperclips wrapped around the voltmeter leads would probably work. A search for "DJI Mini 2 battery...
