    Mavic Pro firmware 01.04.0400 (Jul. 4, 2018)

    Not at-all, I often take panoramas - the difference is I use Photoshop to stitch together 9, or how ever many I need, usually many more than 9.

    Mavic Pro firmware 01.04.0400 (Jul. 4, 2018)

    Yup, I haven't upgraded since 2q last year - sure I am probably missing the latest flight modes etc. It flies well and I have not missed any of the new features which weren't there when I bought it anyway - on the other hand, I am sure I have saved the worries of whether the upgrade is going to...

    Mavic Pro firmware 01.04.0400 (Jul. 4, 2018)

    The compass calibration is to correct for the 'ambient' magnetic fields, so folding the legs after calibration, and with the motors containing magnets - I would guess with a high certainty that you are altering the 'ambient' magnetic fields by folding the legs. Similarly if you were to calibrate...

    Interesting DJI Accessory Pricing Strategy

    Interesting that the Phantom hub has a switch for ‘storage’ mode where it half-charges the batteries, but for the Mavic, DJI don’t offer a storage option

    My Mavic Pro iphone app crashes but Android works

    I am using iOS 11.03, no problems for many tens of flights - I am probably one of the minority of 'if it isnt broke then don't fix it' so I am still on DJI Go V4.06! Was thinking of updating it several times for new features but this thread has put me off again...

    Suddenly can't access DJI site "Your IP address is not allowed"

    While you don't give the full ip address, the whole address block for that IP is blocked as a 'worst offender' status - usually these alerts fade away in a few days but a 'worst offender' - you may have to contact your' ISP and ask to be put in a different address pool (or get a different ISP)...

    Mavic Combo stolen in Michigan

    I can see how it would probably be a royal pain in the rear for DJI to handle requests to ban or lock a device as the management of who the legit owner is and whether they should lock and whether they should unlock when you claim to have recovered it. However.... I cannot see how that if you...

    Mavic Shot Down

    Depends wehere you are - here downunder (Australia | New Zealand), a snag is also slang for saussage... Oh and i remember something about the dude getting a visit from the authorities shortly after!

    Military universal kill switch for drones

    Lots of ideas here, but I think if the military wanted your drone out of the way in a hurry, they are probably most likely to use something on the spot at the time, I think that would most likely be a sniper bullet to the drone!

    Would you buy a spark?

    Wait for spark II, it will come with synaptic control... Brain-Controlled RC Helicopter: 9 Steps (with Pictures)

    Pop up about braking?

    OA obstacle avoidance has seen something and is stopping the a/c to prevent collision (could be sun or bug on sensor if you are in the clear, or need OA calibration)

    Would you buy a spark?

    Calling it Spark is bad Karma for me here in New Zealand, the main phone company here is called Spark and I am still waiting for my high-speed internet connection since January, wonder if the Spark will have the same delays as the Mavic (or my internet connection :mad:). Guess I will stick with...
