    Diappointed in Mavic

    There is an option to track your phones GPS as well. Not sure how well that works though.

    Diappointed in Mavic

    I bought it for the same reason and tbh only in open hills in Scotland would I use it because there are generally trees everywhere else near tracks. What we will be doing is using it to film short clips and cut together when out on the bikes so the portability is there for that and you will have...

    What are the RC Cable Sliders??

    They just hold the 90 degree connector that goes into the phone. They slide inside the flip out phone holders.

    Scottish BAN

    Is there no way people could get them to add a common sense rule in there. Seriously doesn't make sense in all areas. Some are hardly used and the risk would be minimal

    Scottish BAN

    Wtf? The reason I bought the mavic was for mountain biking. Most of it is on forestry land. Buy there can be no one about for miles. Total rubbish. I assume it's only landing and taking off they regulate as that's all they can regulate?

    Mavic and waypoints and active track questions

    That's helpful, thanks. I guess somehow I managed to adjust the framing without using the stick before activating the mode after drawing the box. More testing in open ground required to see how she behaves in different scenarios I think.

    Get the batteries in your pocket and give her some stick. She will soon have her cockles warm haha

    Mavic and waypoints and active track questions

    I'm not sure about that. I set mine to the side on the 2 occasions it worked and it followed side on. Maybe it will move forward and side to side to track? There is a menu option to go backwards on active track I think.

    Mavic and waypoints and active track questions

    Thanks mate, I should have said, I'm on a drilling rig so I haven't got the capability to watch video at the moment otherwise I would be knee deep in youtube where all the answers seem to lie!

    Mavic and waypoints and active track questions

    Thanks for your input, When I tried adjusting mavic position having just drawn a box the drone temporarily stops tracking until the control inputs stop then it reestablishes tracking but the whole time the drone stays stationary. When I adjusted the drone position after drawing the box and...

    Mavic and waypoints and active track questions

    Hi all, I am currently working away over Christmas and new year while my mavic languishes in the house. I want to get some things right in my head before I come home to fly her more! I tried filming my first bit of mountain bike footage before I left and found it quite difficult because we...

    Has anyone been able to use the samsung 7 edge

    I have no issues with the standard dji go app and the s7 edge. Apart from it charging the phone and draining the controller just a wee bit too much

    Hot Phone (Galaxy S7)

    Likely it's the phone running the GPS , 4g and other sensors complex with the fact it may be trying to charge from the controller as mine does. all these things generate heat and the phone will get quite warm. Unless it's really hot I wouldn't even worry. there haven't been any major issues...

    My Mavic Order Was Missing Parts (poor quality control)

    Shame. I really really like the dji bag. very high quality and finish but... it is a bit steep on price. I got the fly more pack because of ease and I'm glad I did. I'm sure though a better value dedicated compact bag will arrive soon enough

    No more Art color profile?

    I noticed something was different and tried to check quality of d-log but it was in house and too dark and both settings I tried were at a different iso so couldn't see detail anyway! I won't be able to use my mavic for a wee while now due to work so will wait to see what everyone else agrees on.
