I'm dropping signal now on virtually every flight. It only lasts for a few seconds, and while the camera feed looks like it's gone crazy, the drone is stopped and stable. I have no idea of the cause, and it's a common report among MP pilots. Any confirmed solution ( as opposed to good...

GS Pro displays coordinates on iPads. I had a few mis steps trying to get this feature. AutoPilot does it too.

Also, been flying for more than a year, this problem just started

I'm dropping connection in GS Pro, the screen goes dark, and when it comes back, the feed looks like the Mavic is flying at a crazy angle. Got it to do it in sight and its stable and stopped in the position it dropped feed. Takes about 15 seconds to reconnect. Tried it in GS4 and...

I got on Litchi's site, and it only seems that you can make waypoints as a mission. I need to make a waypoint from the flight, when I fly over something of interest. I'm not sure Litchi will or won't do this.

I figured out how to make it show up on the map, but not how to use it.

I was able to upload them, and they are sitting in the Materials/Files. and not showing on the map. any hints?

Say I'm flying over a spot with the camera down, and I want to record the spot. GS Pro, Go, or Autopilot. any ideas? TIA.

I have 4 and one more would let my fly and get one recharged for the 6th flight without a break (assuming lower than 25% for each flight). 5 is the right number. And we often go thru all 4 taking a break and still barely getting a recharge. Might add a charger, or use the 12 volt charger at...

Hotchkiss, guys. flying for my agency, Hotchkiss Fire District.

Not yet. Came close to flying sideways into trees and cliffs, once when I lost connection.

LittleBits? link, please.

The actual area and the frames were excluded from the video posted, due to concerns for the victim's family, and will never be posted.

Could be. My unfounded opinion is: I'm afraid of losing my sense of direction and losing the drone, or even falling in the river myself wearing the googles. My experience is very limited both in flying and in using VR.

I just use the native video default from the Mavic. Nothing fancy. I use GS Pro and Drone deploy, and the new iPad, 4 batteries ( going to get 2 or 3 more), pretty much the basic set up. And I'm going to get a polarized lens cover. One of our people has a FAA license now, and is working...
