    Range affected by phone signal

    So basically I can put my phone in flight mode and it should have no bearing on the flight? I did look at the antenna add-ons as a result of a very conclusive test demonstrated on you tube made with brass but then I saw others on Amazon that were an aluminium based and wondered if they were...

    And yes it is winter here, but i live in the North of England so our weather is pretty much New Zealand weather without the heat!

    Loss of signal

    Well I did wonder if flying it would naturally cool it and it did. I hovered it for an entire battery and slowly moving it around in the garden at no more than 2 feet above the ground in case it decided to shut down and it was fine. After landing i checked the temperature and it was warm but no...

    Loss of signal

    Hey mate, So sorry for not acknowledging your helpful reply sooner, I've just realised how to turn in notifications and posted my issue on numerous forums forgetting to check back! Anyway, I did mean the signal display to my phone and not the RC signal to the MP so you were right. The MP...

    Fan not working ?

    I did take a look at the movement of the fan because that was a problem others had but it seems to be moving freely without obstruction. I'm liking these suggestions though, keep them coming!

    Fan not working ?

    Yeah, just hoped there would be a simple solution that didn't include raising a service request with DJI, digging out the proof of purchase email and sending it off for costly repairs! No such luck

    Fan not working ?

    Okay guys, Bought my Pro in Autumn 2018 and had a crash approx 6 months ago however all good and no issues....or so I thought. I had the drone on yesterday to autocalibrate the gimble and the drones compass and realised the drone was getting extremely hot underneath. I then received the...

    Loss of signal

    Hi guys, I am aware of OCUSYNC and GPS mode, but when I see that my Mavic Pro can go over 4km in distance without losing signal it confuses me. I did have GPS mode activated and a decent enough GPS signal, but why did my phone connected to my controller lose signal at approx 500 meters and...

    Mavic 2 parameters

    Hi, Just joined this forum as I bought my Mavic Pro last week and have been trawling the web to work out how to increase the height limit. Don't get me wrong, I am only going to be sensible with it but there are location shoots where I need more height! It appears you have so far mirrored my...
