    iphone lightning to micro USB cable not working

    I had the exact same problem with my mavic air microusb -> lightning cable. I discovered that it was a bad cable by testing the lightning port cable I received with my Mavic Pro. To date, DJI has refused this to be an issue and will not send a replacement. Funny enough I ordered a replacement...

    Did You Receive Your Air Yet?

    Got mine in yesterday. After about an hour of troubleshooting I noticed that my mini usb -> lightning port cable (for the RC) is damaged. There's no visual damage to it, but it keeps disconnecting, and confirmed that the controller is fine via the same cord I got w/ my Mavic Pro. This is...

    DJI Mavic Air has been released (taking pre-orders now)

    Yep. I'll actually do a test of my own just to see. I'll be pairing the mavic with both the stock and revised (platinum) blades for comparison

    Mavic Air - Will it ever have Occusync

    I've got the mavic and pre ordered the air the moment I could (do not have the spark). Footprint is king in my world and dji marketed it exactly the way I anticipated. The best travel friendly drone available.

    DJI Mavic Air has been released (taking pre-orders now)

    You could argue that you don't "have" to jailbreak your mavic. You want functionality that didn't exist when purchasing it. As another said above, I'd be curious to see what a Mavic Air could do with the same features added in to it. I personally don't see the Air being faster than the Pro...

    DJI Mavic Air has been released (taking pre-orders now)

    While speed isn't particularly important to me personally, I don't think it's fair to do a comparison between a jailbroken/modified mavic pro against the air.

    RC Gimbal Horizon tilt adjustment

    Lol no problem! Again, based on the nature of all the different versions of Android OS, coupled with DJI 4, there "could" be a version where the two allow the hotkey functionality. Unfortunately for those that stay on top of the FW updates, this is not the case (at least for Samsung run...

    RC Gimbal Horizon tilt adjustment

    Not sure what Android device your buddy is using, but I just tried with the Samsung S8+, loaded with the latest (non flashed) OS and latest DJI 4 update and the hotkey did not work.

    RC Gimbal Horizon tilt adjustment

    You speaking about the feature that you can obtain within the menu, or the actual physical hotkey/shortcut? I'm referring to Android lacking the hotkey/shortcut functionality.

    RC Gimbal Horizon tilt adjustment

    Funny to still see this thread going. From my prior comment, DJI confirmed that this is an iOS feature only. I'm one of the lucky few that has multiple devices (thank you work phone) and I was able to nab the iPhoneX. To be frank, while I'm still not a fan of iOS in the least bit (I love my...

    GIVEAWAY: DJI Mavic Hard Case by Freewell Gear

    Relatively new guy here. I'd say my biggest tip (being I've never owned a drone prior to the Mavic) is to really study the materials for the capability of the craft, practice in an open field, and above all have fun! Those first couple of flights will be intimidating, but just know that each...

    RC Gimbal Horizon tilt adjustment

    So I posed this question on dji's forum and received an update from a dji representative. Dji-mindy reached out to the dji engineers and confirmed that the shortcut is an ios only feature. As an Android user, I find it particularly annoying to know that I'm limited in features for my aircraft...

    RC Gimbal Horizon tilt adjustment

    I hope I'm understanding your question but correct me if I'm mistaken. I've done gimbal adjustments while flying, but it can be tricky in my particular area as the land around me has natural dips. With that being said, I was more so curious if this is an issue with using the dji go app on...

    RC Gimbal Horizon tilt adjustment

    I typically do a gimbal calibration when first booting it up outside. I've got some pretty wonky lands around me with natural dips in elevation, so I'm sure that plays a bit into my concern with the horizon level. However, and maybe this is just the tech in me, I just have to know why I am not...

    RC Gimbal Horizon tilt adjustment

    No, it's not that my horizon changes, but I am just stumped more so that in the event I need it I don't have hotkeys to adjust it. I'm also now curious if there is a difference in features between the iOS and android version of DJI Go 4.
