    Yes, Landing Protection CAN be disabled, but...

    Loved this thread, still do. Something interesting happened to my drone the other day. I was flying over the sea, from a beach that I live nearby to. And the drone started descending and descending, and simultaneously flying in a random direction, as if it were to follow some kind of...

    New DJI RC Firmware Release: 01.02.0300, plus MP3 Firmware

    So you have the option to see the Display information at a greater size. However, this greater size is at the expense of being able to select your frame rate and resolution? What?

    DJI mavic 3 pro erratic flight issue going forward

    Yup, exactly. I put the brake mode on, and instead of the drone gaining altitude and fluttering when the sensors´sensed´an obstacle, the drone started and stopped a series of accelaration and decelerations, all at a constant altitude.

    DJI mavic 3 pro erratic flight issue going forward

    I don't think there is unwanted stuff in the motors. Yes!! the gimbal damage was from a repair I had to do the gimble when I was in the Amazon in Brazil. Perhaps yes, the sensors have had a knock and they malfunction a bit...

    I think that's a really good point. My drone also heavily displays the erratic flight behaviour at the beggining of a flight - and the behaviour decreases with time. I will try changing the settings to see if it does what your drone does!

    DJI mavic 3 pro erratic flight issue going forward

    So I flew the drone. In sport mode and cine mode, no flutter. Turned the obstacle avoidance off and now no flutter in normal. So it was that simple… But I can’t figure out why the obstacle avoidance is triggering. I took photos of the sensors. Perhaps it is the sensor with the red arrow, as...

    DJI mavic 3 pro erratic flight issue going forward

    Thanks very much to both of you. I will try those things later this evening, today, and post here. I'm not sure which ones are the OA sensors (infrared?) and also how to put it in to Spot mode (and what is spot mode).

    That's very good instruction, tah. Here's the link to your website with the data https://www.phantomhelp.com/logviewer/5G82GC7BEVTFE2R20SGT/ There's a fair bit of flying there, but generally when i am flying - pitching forward - this phenemoena occurs. The video I took occurs at the...

    DJI mavic 3 pro erratic flight issue going forward

    Dear community, When I fly my drone in a straight line forward it periodically flutters upwards and to the sides as in the video. To the sides and to the rear it does not do this! My input is only to pitch forward. I have a video which shows this, but I can't see how I can upload?

    Are mavic 3 gimbal parts compatible with the mavic 3 pro gimbal?

    Those blasted grey nubbins are different.

    Dear forum, I have messaged Zbip but perhaps someone has the answer to my conundrum. I was filming the 3 day boat trip from Manaus to Sao Gabriel and was pretty shocked at how difficult it was to land the drone due to the sensors, and I subsequently crashed the drone. The safe landing feature...
