No he's talking about the three tabs on the base plate that sit under tabs on the frame.

I fired my MP up today for the first time since August, and now it has the gimbal overload error. It was flying and working just fine last time I flew it 8 months ago or so. I'm not sure what has changed since it was put on the shelf all those months ago. I can't imagine that ribbon cable is...

I force stopped DJI GO4 tonight and watched it on NoRootFirewall try to connect to over 50 IP's in China in less than 15 minutes. While the program was force stopped in the application manager. First IP was Beijing, the rest were a city northwest of Hong Kong and due north of Macau. There...

I liked 400 the best too. Everything seemed to work smoother, it flew smoother, hovered much smoother, and in general it worked like a dream. I started getting some video feed lag, some hover wander and exaggerated braking distances when I moved up in FW. This was just my experience with the...

As someone who has had their bank card information stolen digitally TWICE, yeah I'm concerned about a Chinese program completely unregulated collecting my user information and sending it back to their domestic servers for unknown reasons. It's entirely possible those other agencies aren't...

I don't know that they necessarily found anything beyond what our friends have found, the fed has a bad habit of overclassifying information. Can't rule it out though. "Other guys do it" has never been an acceptable defences of this kind of behavior and deception. I'm very grateful that a...

That memo is from extremely high up the food chain, there is a good chance this issue will migrate to the civilian side. I'd love to see Commerce, Justice or the CPSC take a good look at this. Might be worth forwarding that memo to your Congressmen and Senators to help grease the skids. God...

I'm curious to see if the code is more nefarious. It would not surprise me if there is code that actively hacks and accesses your entire digital profile. I guess we will have to wait and see what gets turned up when everyone is done poking through it all. Personally I will take the first...

"I have nothing to hide so no big deal" There is a great deal of distance between "I have nothing to hid so no big deal" and a Chinese company data mining my digital life through my suav without my permission or even my knowledge. Perhaps I would be okay with DJI collecting data logs on how I...

Regardless of what is in the EULA/TOS the term "unconscionable contract" may still apply, and if it did would void said agreement.

There is heavy steel in that concrete, which could maybe give you mag interference but it shouldn't mess with your GPS.

I don't have Litchi installed, the app never used to crash on take off before. I'm thinking this is from updating the day of the crash. I don't close all other apps first, but I can try that. Right now I'm thinking I'm going to roll back my DJIgo app to 4.0.6, my firmware is at .700 right...

Test flight was a mechanical success, new motor flies fine, video is stable for as long as the app is running. It's time to move on from DJI software handicaps.

Thanks for the parts Thunderdrones, they came in this morning. I installed the new left rear arm (simple, but minor solder work) and the gimbal ribbon cable (absolute PITA). Everything appears to be working right but I can't tell because now DJIgo app is crashing every time I lift off. The...

Absolutely as soon as I get the time to download them to my PC and upload them to youtube. They are both partials as I failed to install a large enough memory card in time. That has since been fixed, still can't get the MP to record to my tablet's memory card so I can't record a sound file.
