After applying the Drone-Hacks software to Mavic 3, I can no longer left-stick down after landing to immediately kill the motors.
This is what happens now
I emailed DroneHacks and their response was, " Hello, this is normal under the customFC. If you want to land slowly you can also push the landing button in the app."
I find this insane. CSC doesn't immediately work either.
I would hate to have to always use button for landing and can't really live with that behavior either.
Any solutions?
Overall an excellent update, but that strange behaviour if connection lost is set to "hover" will lead to many crashes/flyaways.
Added the ability to automatically take off the drone to altitudes of 2000, 1000, 500, 300, 200 or 100 meters when communication with the remote control is lost. This allows you to get away from the electronic warfare (anti-drone gun), which is why communication with the remote control is lost. This function is enabled by the commands "lost_2000," "lost_1000," "lost_500,>," <<lost_300,>," "lost_200," "lost_100," respectively and is only valid in the "Hover" mode In the "Signal Lost" menu setting.
Maybe it defaults to hover after installing hack to use this feature which is an interesting one.
I'm surprised you're complaining. YOU HACKED YOUR DRONE! If it comes with some unwanted effects, you're just going to have to bite the bullet.After applying the Drone-Hacks software to Mavic 3, I can no longer left-stick down after landing to immediately kill the motors.

If hand catching is so cool, then why do helicopter pilots not do it? After I fly a sortie, I prefer to do a real landing. It just looks like a toy when you’re snatching it out of the air.Hand catching is what all the Cool Kids are doing now I hand catch 99.99% of the time now.
Thanks. Interesting!Not sure if it’s the same fw 1001 that the Russian hackers made for their drones but here’s the manual that they have on their Telegram Channel. Of course it was in Russian but used Google Translate. Some pretty interesting stuff in that t.me channel, there’s some videos of the features.

I used drone hacks all the time when DJI was in their earlier days and altitude/geofencing/ and speed hacks all came in one package. I guess DJI is making it harder to hack the newer firmware, leading to workarounds that leave errors in their wake.I am not complaining - I am looking for solutions. I have used Drone-Hacks on several other drones and never had an issue whatsoever with landing or any other operational concerns. Posting here also makes others aware of a potential issue. If it is something I decide that I don't want to live with, I can always reflash to the current firmware. It is just very odd
page 1 on the user manual posted a few post up.Do you happen to have a link to that?
I tested the new mod today. Mostly everything worked well.
Some bugs I noticed:
* Cinematic mode stayed Cine mode when I tested it twice, but then when I was over 100m the function suddenly changed to ATTI mode. So something to be aware of.
* Battery Bugs - I set the "bat_land_off," command and also the “bat_enable_smart_bat_landing_protect – set to 0” string.
This resulted in a "Your drone will land in 10 seconds" immediately after takeoff. I had to cancel repeatedly. This message kept coming up until my battery got down to about 80% when it just stopped appearing on its own.
All I needed in the mod was FCC mode, but the extras are a bonus. But there are some quirks and I will be changing all battery settings back to normal before the next flight.
I hit a tree (flying backwards) a few months ago (I forgot that the rear sensors are disabled in Sports mode). DJI has a supply of spare Mavic 3's to send as replacements. Mine was seriously trashed so they sent me a new one rather than repair. So thankfully my Mavic 3 replacement has only a few flight hours on it.I leave it in bat_land_off which is the default DJI behavior, so you still get the safety battery RTH working as intended and the battery bar displaying the green section accurately.
I've been flying the drone with this firmware since its release and couldn't be happier, no RID, no Aeroscope, no geofencing, no babysitting, regain control of the LED light and if needed can be set to evade antidrone interference guns and bypass GPS spoofing with the ATTI mdoe.
I was already hand catching the drone to prevent dirt on the camera and motors, so not a problem.
Now I picked a second hand RC pro to further enhance the capabilities of the drone with the 2W output against the 0.4W output of the default RC-N1 I've been using.
Hard to recommend any other drone in these dark days of drone witch hunting, it's just perfect. Hopefully more drones get their own anti RID/FCC/nobabysitting firmwares in the future.
In an event that my M3 hardware fails (It has already 200 hours of flight time and 4600 Km traveled) I'll just pick another unit second hand and apply the firmware to it.
The first time you installed the hack, was the signal lost feature in "Hover mode" by default?I leave it in bat_land_off which is the default DJI behavior, so you still get the safety battery RTH working as intended and the battery bar displaying the green section accurately.
