    Mavic Fly Away this evening. Shes Gone!

    I took off with 67% battery with a P3A, ascended to 200 feet and got some sort of 'over voltage' message. The drone started to descend on its own and I only had lateral control. There are posts in the DJI forums about this sort of behaviour when taking off with less than full battery. Sport...

    No focus at all

    All of the sudden, mine is doing this too. Problem after problem with this thing.

    DIY rear compass cabling fix

    Just wondering if this fix has NOT solved compass redundancy switch / sport mode GPS failures for anyone?

    DIY rear compass cabling fix

    So the question is, since all of our MPs are still under warranty, should we pursue an official support ticket and try to send the unit in for repair, or do we risk voiding any warranty and do the surgery ourselves? Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots

    Mavic vs Phantom

    Wish I had purchased the P4. I am one of the unfortunate who has lost all trust in the drone due to the GPS suddenly dropping out. I would definitely wait for version two. If I wanted an unreliable drone I would have saved myself $1000 and bought something at Walmart. I give the Mavic a solid...

    Lost GPS signal scare

    I completely agree. The wind warnings are incessantly ridiculous. It's fun to have to position your finger on a small little 'x' to clear warnings as they appear, only to miss and reset the focus point--over and over. I get their importance...but you would think there would be a less invasive...

    Lost GPS signal scare

    I've calibrated and recalibrate out the ying yang in an open field with no possibility of metal or magnetic interference. I still consistently get the magnetic interference errors and compass redundancy switch notifications. The interference issues happen no matter which mode I'm in, compass...

    Why the mavic doesnt move in the exact straight path ?

    Mine drifts also. Fly straight with 0 yaw, and it will track at a slight angle. With compass and GPS, it should not matter if there is a slight crosswind (there pretty much always is at altitude). It should be able to compensate. But I'm one of the ones who has experienced sudden GPS dropout...

    Found just the right carry bag for my Mavic with the stuff.

    I ditched the Fly More bag also. Just too cramped for me.

    Lost GPS signal scare

    My thoughts exactly. Update: just ran through 2 batteries and avoided Sport Mode all together. The issue DID NOT re-occur. The only goofy thing is that I was not able to use 'follow-me' mode due to a 'weak GPS signal' message. 22 satellites--makes no sense. My thinking is that DJI has their...

    Lost GPS signal scare

    Same thing happening here. Brand new Mavic. 3 flights. 2 of them experienced a loss of GPS signal for a minute or two, throwing me into ATTI mode in windy weather (not fun). Sport mode seems to be the culprit---not sure yet. Interestingly, when playing the flight back, I can see that there...
