    Litchi restricts flight to 40 metres yesterday

    The warnings were if I agree to the requirement that I log into the DJI app. Which most of us have done since day one. The intricacies of opening the DJI app, then the Litchi app, then (maybe?) closing the DJI app are not covered in the DJI notice for sure. Either way, the Litchi app update...

    Litchi restricts flight to 40 metres yesterday

    This was quite embarrassing last night. A whole gang of my friends were watching and I kept getting "Max radius" on the controller. I eventually lucked out and used the DJI app by chance to see if that helped. But by then, everyone was losing interest. Major f-up by litchi and DJI in my opinion.

    Choppy 4K video - sample file included

    I downloaded your clip and was essentially unable to play the video. Stuttering and chunks of time where no image update is seen. On an older Macbook Air, 1.5GB graphics, 4GM mem, 1.3Ghz i5 proc. I know from past experience 4k will not run on this laptop.

    Have anyone else experienced uneven focus ?

    Follow up on the repairs: Amazing difference with the video quality! Anyone even thinking they might have an issue should look closely and raise a ticket with DJI. They ended up sending me an entirely new unit. My video is so crisp and focused throughout. I reviewed my footage from before...

    Have anyone else experienced uneven focus ?

    Lessons from an idiot about flying indoors

    I too have crashed indoors. I took off, hovered for a moment, then tried to land. It wouldn't land and started to drift. It drifted right into my coffee table and took out two blades and scratched the hell out of my coffee table. It was quite the sight, after which I just sat there in shock of...

    What to do with video? Transfer, storage, ect.

    Be very aware storage is just the first problem. Make sure you can play 4K video on your laptop (and I'm not even talking about editing anything yet). 4K brings my Mac Air to its knees. It doesn't make sense to invest in external storage if your laptop isn't up to the processing power...

    [Video Issue] Blurry Right Edge. Focus on Right Blurs the Rest I posted here, along with a few others.

    Have anyone else experienced uneven focus ?

    Here's my example. Let me know what people think, at around 12 seconds I attempt to focus again to infinity. Things seem very fuzzy. Or is it just me? I'm thinking I should RMA after the holiday rush. I've tried the camera/imu/gimbal reset but no difference.

    What resolution do you guys usually shoot with?

    Is this a Mavic specific comment, or just that 1080P is poor in general? I'm curious, is the Mavic's compression particularly poor processing/compressing on the fly RAW -> 1080P versus to 4K? For someone who doesn't want to convert their video to 1080P to play it on their laptop from 2010, is...

    What resolution do you guys usually shoot with?

    I've been shooting at 4K, but I have to spool up my gaming rig to play them without stuttering. This is completely unfeasible for most. To play a video on my Mac Air at a friends house I had to down convert it to 1080P, which took 20 minutes+. My uncle wants a Mavic Pro, and I'm going to...

    Spinning out of control - No controller response

    Can you clarify why you think the Litchi app communicates with the DJI App? My understanding is that Litchi specifically requires all other DJI apps to be force closed. I've had some communications oddities (noticed prior to takeoff thankfully) that resolved themselves when I force kill the DJI...

    Spinning out of control - No controller response

    Are you canceling RTH each time? I don't understand why if that's the case. Just land the poor thing already :-)

    Fly Mavic over a Stadium

    At what point does the number of people we fly over become a "crowd", and therefore not suggested (here in the US)? We all fly over people from time to time. I don't like flying over people at all honestly, but more because I'm respecting their privacy and don't want to interrupt them enjoying...
