    If You Crash A Drone You Might Land Yourself In Jail

    Hi cavanhoose. I usually fly twice a week at Markham if the weather cooperates. I used to fly with 8 batteries a day but cut back to 4 batteries a day (due to lightning storms). I hate to come home with any fully charged batteries that I have to run down with a device. I don't like any of them...

    How many of you do compass calibration before take off?

    Every time I fly at a site that is not a repeat of the last location. No problem as it only takes 30 seconds or less time ;).

    Battery authentication issue

    If possible turn on controller with Ipad or smart phone connected. Turn on your Mavic. Open the DJI Go 4 APP on the screen. Find and click on the battery info. It should show you if the battery is good or not along with the info on each cell. Each of the 3 cells should read very close having...

    Who is they o_O. I fly there twice a week and am usually airborne for 2-1/2 hours each time (eight batteries). There are two types of drones flown out there. One are the little racers usually flown in the control line area. The types of drones that fly slower with photo capability usually are...

    Mavic Pro Battery Mod

    Probably only for the Mavic APP to recognise the 2 batteries as one big battery. I would use a multi pin connector to charge each battery pack separately as charging with cells in parallel is not good according to some LiPo experts. After both packs are charged you could plug them together and...

    Mavic Pro Battery Mod

    Exactly what I thought long ago. I don't need a longer run to get in trouble anyway ;). Yesterday I was in the air for a total of 2-1/2 hours using 8 batteries with 2 Mavics. Long enough for this camper :).

    Mavic Pro Battery Mod

    There is a reason that the stock connector has multiple pins. If the connection could have been satisfactory with only 2 pins the manufacturer would have done so. They don't waste money on useless connectors. I asked for a schematic of the connector many posts ago and was given info that the...

    Firmware update v01.03.0900

    Both Mavics updated very easy. Only change was pressing C2 no longer showed battery cells and their status. I fooled around in the menu on battery status and got it working again. All other settings remained unchanged :).

    Firmware update v01.03.0900

    I can do the firmware update very easy for both Mavics. I hope there is no battery firmware updates like the last time as it was a pain with additional smart batteries :eek:.

    who pays for damaged battery?

    frogs, will you take $25 for that battery :). Just joking. I had the same issues with a battery I purchased yesterday and one that came with the Mavic. I also have updated the Mavic system to 800 firmware. Here is my fix. I installed the latest version of DJI assistant on my PC. I put the...
