Not true, the Mavic Pro has a precision landing system. It just isn’t as developed as later drones but with a landing pad was certainly capable of landing within inches of its takeoff point.

Yes, but you sending them the data is easier for them than sifting through the terabytes of data they must collect every day!

Nobody unless I act like a d1*k. But here in Europe drones are certified as a system, DJI declare approved accessories (look in the manual, they are listed) and the moment you add an unapproved accessory your drone falls out of certification and the open class we fly under. Flying a drone...

Not necessarily, they probably only go through flight data if they are trying to find the cause of a loss, (or the PRC Army have asked them for some specific information).

Probably because the OP has opened a case about his various drone losses. They (DJI) will want to make sure they have all the data they can get from the RC as both drones are total losses.

As others have said, if it’s not about to fly, flying, or just landed the gimbal cover will be on. It protects both lens and gimbal and takes seconds to attach so why not! If you want awkward, try the Mavic Pro gimbal holder! Mini 4/5 Pro is a doddle compared to that!

Don’t be so ***** petty. The Mini 3/4/5 aren’t even Mavic’s, the Mavic part of the name being dropped years ago.

Compass and GPS are two different systems but I believe they have to agree as to what direction the drone is moving. My understanding was that the toilet bowl flyaway was caused by the inability of the gps derived heading to agree with the compass derived heading due to the miscalibration of the...

Strange, I’m a member of the Mavic pilots forum, also the Tello pilots forum, and the Autel pilots forum. I see no reason why there shouldn’t be an Antigravity Pilots forum as there is also a Parrot pilots forum.

On the strobe, people who were able to get their C0 Mini 4/5 Pro’s re certified as C1 report that the status lights stay on while recording video. DJI just need to flash the status light module of the C1 version of the firmware to the C0 version of the firmware. They don’t even have to write any...

You’ll need RID in 2 years. It’s A3, so flying far from people in open country only with just flier and operator ID. You need A2CoC for any closer.

You can always enable the lock screen on the controller. Then thieves would have to get past that! If the authorities think that drones are more dangerous than firearms, which the Americans do as they are banning importation of new models of foreign drones but firearms are prolific, shouldn’t it...

I wasn’t referring to myself in my previous post, that’s the attitude I see in all walks of life and flying drones is just the same. Myself, I see my drone (I fly 5 currently, not at the same time) as being another camera and lens that I can use to see or take images of things that are out of...

Read the manual! You’ve got to be joking! Most people can’t even be bothered to read the little quick start leaflets or watch the presentations in DJI fly. Download a manual or lookup the local regulations, nah, can’t be bothered with that and anyway, the rules won’t apply to me, it’s just an...
