    Control link is lost shortly after take off

    Yes, I uploaded .csv, and it appears to be decoded perfectly There is not much in the encrypted logs... I tried to do some more troubleshooting, while lamenting that I didn't open a ticket with DJI as soon as I noticed the problem- my warranty ran out the day after my first post here. The...

    Control link is lost shortly after take off

    This is the log. The problem started around 0:15. Does the drone store the log while the comms are lost and send them later or is the outage data missing? https://www.phantomhelp.com/LogViewer/26YB53GA4L2E4S01PIPT I did several more test flights today. I could replicate the problem every time...

    Control link is lost shortly after take off

    I checked the flight log, and couldn't see anything unusual: Good idea on setting to hover instead of auto return, thank you.

    Control link is lost shortly after take off

    I experienced a strange issue several times. Soon after the take off the control signal disappears, the video recording on the drone stops. The video link to the controller stays up. It goes on for several seconds, until the auto return is started. The control link is reestablished almost...

    Trouble Getting Mavic Mini Battery Door/Cover Re-attached

    Thanks for the instructions. I used a hair dryer to make the plastic softer and more pliable. It helped a lot and I replaced a door with a broken latch with minimal effort. As a side effect, the glue on the warranty sticker also softened and the body came apart with the sticker intact. More...

    Interesting client...

    The first screenshot has no practical purpose unless the client wanted a sunset picture (unlikely). The last screenshot photo shows the bright and dark areas of the parking lot, although the white balance is off. Since the client installs outdoor illumination this kind of image may be helpful...

    Interesting client...

    The question is what they need to see. While your photo is clearly superior in all technical aspects, their photo more accurately reflects how the parking lot illumination is seen by people on the ground.

    Differences between Mini2 examples

    I'm in US, both drones are US market. I repeated the experiment the next day, and this time didn't see significant range differences. I'm still baffled by this. It could be some sort of interference nearby, a leaky microwave or similar. I can't find any variables in the flight setup on my side...

    Differences between Mini2 examples

    Thanks. Both drones are on 1.04 firmware. I also checked the range in another direction, where the line of sight is blocked by a large tree nearby. The range difference isn't that great- maybe 630m vs. 700, but it is there.

    Differences between Mini2 examples

    Recently I purchased a refurbished Mini2. As it happens, soon thereafter I found a better deal on a brand new unit and bought it with an intention to return the refurb. However, i noticed that the new Mavic has a considerably worse range, both in control and video channels. I flew them in...
