    Sudden Battery Critical Landing

    I had the same thing happen last month after I got a replacement drone right before Christmas. I flew my drone in chicago using four batteries (the weather was unusually mild on Xmas... in the mid 30s in the morning). Right after the 1st of the year I did a firmware update on all four batts...

    Critical low battery, swelling batteries after normal flight

    Over the past month I’ve noticed that my batteries have a tendency to swell after a charge or doing a factory reset and normal flights. Two of my four batteries have suffered from catastrophic critical low battery failure, any help on why this is? The batteries are less than a year old

    Master Air Screwed!

    I tried a set and without getting all technical about it, I “perceived” a slight drop in noise especially the higher up I flew. I think they do what they are advertised to do.

    White substance in battery cavity and on battery after flight. What is it? Thermal paste?

    White substance in battery cavity and on battery after flight. What is it? Thermal paste?

    Never seen that before, do you have another battery? Carefully clean the cavity and battery with a baking soda damp cloth, operate the drone and check it again to see if more residue accumulates

    There's no general threat using Google Assistant with Go 4 app. "DJI Drone could kill…"

    Im squeamish around android phones in many cases but I could believe that using Ok Google OR Hey Siri while flying a drone isn't a good idea, I've never tried it but as you demonstrated the assistant interferes with the controller somehow as its contacting the server

    RTH in wrong direction :(

    Maybe compass error? I had RTH do crazy things like flying side ways towards buildings or tall trees before rising to the set distant. I don't have a lot of faith in RTH but ask member Thunderdrone, he's expert on such thing

    Quad insurance

    I just used my last DJI care replacement and I just can’t bring myself to fly my Air without coverage. Any suggestions on reasonable policies?

    Compass error

    Do you wear a smart watch or fitness tracker with GPS WHILE SETING UP the mavic2? I found that my Apple Watch throw my compass setup off during setup and sometimes during flights
