Good question. For some that might work, but here in MT, cell and wifi connection are not always possible. Bluetooth is a non-starter for sure.

Concur with Slozukimc. The problem you face is if you crash it, it can be difficult to prove whether it was the bird or pilot error. Outside of a simulator, the best way to learn is with a cheaper DJI unit. The control features of the smaller DJI birds (ie Mini 2 SE) are similar and could end of...

You will be able to view the battery charge cycles on the screen when you have it on. DJI still sells the wb37 batteries and charger. Buy 2-3 batteries. They are cheap. I have 5 and always have them charged and ready to replace when on a project. I am not a stickler for scratches AS LONG AS IT...

First make sure you have the correct controller (aka master). Set up in an area with no foliage or trees to deal with. Check your settings and make sure all the safety settings are set. Set it up for auto land. Make sure all the collision sensors are on. MAKE SURE YOU ARE IN GPS MODE. Arm the...

Totally concur with Cactus Jack. The I2 flies well, but there is a lot going on. I have flown for many years and am guilty of forgetting how it would feel to start out. The smaller DJI helicopters are a lot less problem to learn with. You have really got to stay ahead of the craft and a wrong...

IMHO stay away from multilink. A lot of people have had issues getting it to work. And in some cases it even crashed the DJI App. You do not need it. Simply set up a slave and master for running the camera and flying. No reason to have a bunch of controllers (w screens) working on a single heli...

Here is a good article to read regarding the FAA issue and '3rd party' products: Best Remote ID Modules (So You Can Be in Compliance)

Looks pretty complete. The only other thing would be a Cendense radio. I am not a fan of the I2 radio. Looks like a 2 radio setup. Not sure if you will need to use it with a camera guy. Also, since DJI dumped their promise for providing retro-Remote ID for the I2, you will likely need to think...

Yes, that is my memory.....

You need to fly the course and then save it. Then you can retrieve and fly it as many times as you wish. It will fly the course, and use the speed, altitude and orientation of the I2 during the flight. I only use that feature when I need to fly out my batteries (discharge). It makes it pretty...

No worries. DJI has some great mics that work super. Then it is simply an issue of sync. Also, there are remote recorders that work will. Simply a matter to adding the sound in editing. I have done a number of projects where there needs to be a sound added. If it is equipment sound, etc then...

Interesting module. Concur with the others. The prices will come down as the year goes by.

I ceased using the GO4 app to create unlocking requests. I do them all on my desk computer days ahead. Then when you fly, the unlocking authorizations should be there waiting for you to simply activate. That said, in my experience, the red zones are not self unlocking like the blue areas. They...

I am clueless as to why DJI continues to force FAA certified pilots to live under their Geo-Fencing code. We know where to fly legally. Last week I had a commercial project that was fully authorized by the ATC, and was in a 400' AGL LAANC area near a Class D airport. DJI's Fly Safe showed my...

I flew an I1 for years (now use only my I2). Sold it last Fall since I simply never used it. The I1 has always been a great unit. I never had a fly away or weird flight. In fact I have had a few crashes that required repair with the I2, and NEVER had an issue or crash with the I1. The power and...
