    Mavic pro attacked by bees

    European! Thanks to Monthy Python and the internet it is not too hard to find out the average airspeed velocity of such an unladen swallow: roughly 24mph average with a maximum of 35 mph. :p So quite similar to the sparrow.

    New safety guidelines video - please help

    Not being overregulated especially in the aspects of recreational activity is one of the few things I envy you americans deeply for. We retarded germans have a shitton of rules, laws and licenses for absolutely everything that goes beyond taking a piss. (maybe thats regulated as well, not even...

    Mavic pro attacked by bees

    Topspeeds of insects is actually poorly researched it turns out. A honeybees average speed when laden is said to be around 8-10mph. When not carrying pollen and in attack-mode they sure can be a bit faster. Generally it seems like you can outpace nearly every insect in sports mode. Only some...

    Overcurrent during discharge. Anyone lost their drone to this?

    Update: I got ballsy and tried to reproduce the error on a large field nearby and succeeded. Temperature 19°C, mostly sunny. Indeed the error appears when I push both (only then) sticks to the limit for ca. 5-8 seconds in sports mode. Going forward or upwards only, as well as shorter "bursts"...

    Overcurrent during discharge. Anyone lost their drone to this?

    At least for me, I wasnt recording when the message appeared. After some more googling I found of "only" one instance where a drone was lost (most likely) because of that error and again, it was in very cold weather. Makes me wonder how dangerous the error actually is in friendly air...

    Overcurrent during discharge. Anyone lost their drone to this?

    It happened at about 50%. Maybe a little less. Im also seriously confused now. I thought this error was occuring because the drone was asking for more power than the battery could provide, therefore making the error more probable when theres less juice in the battery. Edit: Not wanting to be...

    Overcurrent during discharge. Anyone lost their drone to this?

    I never used sports for more than 5-6 minutes per flight (never had a problem prior to today). But like you, I took it for granted that the machine was designed to operate in s-mode only if so desired by the pilot.

    Overcurrent during discharge. Anyone lost their drone to this?

    Landing, shutdown, switch battery, having a look at the app, powering everything up again... 3-4 minutes? By the way, the error occured on the very first flight that day also. Probably youre much more knwoledgeable than I am, but to me it doesnt seem like temperature has to do anything with my...

    Overcurrent during discharge. Anyone lost their drone to this?

    Sorry, but getting an obscure error after 2-3 minutes (!!) into sport mode isnt "flying like a bat out of hell" or something. There are other sorts of people treatening it much much muuuuch worse, without problems apparently. What I do is using the product like it is advertised, nothing more. If...

    Overcurrent during discharge. Anyone lost their drone to this?

    Im not going to race around each and every time. But do I get this right? This is a potential disastrous error that is not in any way prevented by hard or software and it is also perfectly fine that your average-joe consumer like me gets it just after a few minutes of flying around in best...

    Overcurrent during discharge. Anyone lost their drone to this?

    Heyo, today I got the "overcurrent during discharge" error two times on two different batteries whereas I never before had that error even once. Needless to say it scared me heavily each time, although apparently no damage was done and I remained in control of the vehicle all the time...

    .700 is here "The-f-word" There is new firmware once again!

    I have that as well with 600. Probably not firmware-related as it started to happen from one day to another.

    So how many batteries do you have for your Mav?

    Im surprised how different the controllers battery usage is for different people. I flew my 4 batteries from 100 to 30% each today. Controller was charged to 95% when I set off and after the session it was still at 58%. Im baffled at how it could be empty after just three batteries. :eek:

    Stability problems on iOS (yes, really ;P)

    To post the solution in case anyone with the same problem googles this up maybe: I did a Ipad-reboot rafter deletion of the app and one after the re-install. I also flashed the latest firmware to both controller and mavic again via DJI Assitant on PC. (Seemed fine as it was, but just to be...

    Gimbal thrashes around and goes nuts after start up

    Uhm... mine behaves almost like in the second video all the time when I power up. It makes one or two quite erratic movements then it finishes and all is fine. It doesnt take as long as in OPs video, but it is similar. I was under the assumption that this is normal behavior?!?
