    DJI FPV System + Mavic Mini

    I placed a mini strobe in a 3D mount on a front leg of the mini and it went into some mode where it wouldn’t fly above 20 feet or so. There also was a warning on the screen that I don’t recollect. The mini will carry no extra weight, let alone an air unit.

    Why Micro USB C cable on charger?

    Thanks everyone for your thoughts on this not very important, and for that matter, not very interesting subject.

    Why Micro USB C cable on charger?

    It seems like they’d save more money by standardizing the plugs. Either all USB Cs or Micro USBs on both the aircraft and RC. Oh well.

    What Kind of USB Plug?

    Summary: Why did DJI provide a charging cable that needs an adapter to use with the Mavic Air?

    What Kind of USB Plug?

    The long cable provided with the charger. The USB to USB C cable. They then give you an adapter to go from USB C to Micro USB to plug into the RC. Why not just provide a USB to micro USB cable? Above post should have been “Mavic Air has a USB C-port. It is not used for charging. A lot of...

    What Kind of USB Plug?

    Has anyone wondered why the charger for the Mavic Air has a dedicated Micro USB C output cable (built in) that needs to have the Micro USB adapter installed to charge the RC through the Micro USB port. There is only one USB C port and that’s on the Mavic Air itself itself for downloads and...

    Asteroid Mode

    Tried saving Processed files after editing (reversing video and adding music) and all I got was stuck in “creating quick shot” with a continuously rotating square that wouldn’t stop. Exited app and did the same editing but chose “save unprocessed files” and it did transfer to the camera roll on...

    Asteroid Mode

    I was able to do that and the edited version was in the “Album” in the DJIGo editor. When I tried to move it into my photos in the camera in IOS (processed files), by hitting the downward arrow above a tray in the lower left corner, generating quick shot appeared on the screen. With a rotating...

    One Rugged Great Drone

    Traveled to Phuket with my Mavic Air. Did a hike to the Big Buddha and began filming with the drone at the end of the hike. There was a really friendly Bullmastiff (huge dog, more like a lion) roaming around near by and not much interested in what I was doing. UNTILL, I wanted to land. He...

    All DJI Goggle Cases & their lowest prices (listed here)

    Heated from both the inside and outside, pushed out with rounded end of ball peen hammer, forming an outward facing dimple adjacent to the on,off button. Worked out perfectly. Figured the case was useless as it was. Will work on posting a picture.

    All DJI Goggle Cases & their lowest prices (listed here)

    Beware of the Myriann Hard Storage Travel Case. Side of case presses against the on/off button. The design of the case is as small as it can get and still leave the goggles assembled. However, the first time I placed goggles in the case, closed it, opened it 5 hours later, battery was almost...

    Filming Fireworks on the 4th?

    Is their a faster decent available?

    My descending was always with about medium forward pitch on the right stick. Don't like coming straight down with drones (wobbling and possible vortex whatever and from my experience flying RC helicopters). I agree with the people that feel the Mavic descends slow no matter what you do...
