    lost my Mavic today. How do I find it?

    Did you try manually flying it back to yourself in "Sports" mode? What I would do in a situation like this is to put it in Sports mode, fly at a lower altitude and flying back manually.. Sports mode is more than capable of cutting through 30+ mph wind... RTH cannot cope with high winds...

    Mavic GPS Receiver Location

    This is how I attach the Loc8tor to my Mavic. The string attachment is a backup just in case of impact that tears the loc8tor loose from the Mavic. No issues with compass or GPS interference in this location.

    Japan's Drone Restrictions

    Where is your map from? Can you give me the link? I'm going to be in Mount Fuji area in about a week and would like to know the areas I can/cannot fly around.. Also wondering why the yellow area is restricted... Is there some government facility in that area?

    Auto descent after altitude climb issue.

    If you've removed the 500M limit, you can't cancel the auto landing if the Mavic thinks you've flown too high and it would take the remaining battery to get you back down. Your best move is to disable the Mavic's battery monitoring entirely by changing to the Non-DJI battery option. When...

    Domain Block List for Firmware Update Check on DJI Go 4

    It's not paranoia.. I just like the Mavic as it performs on .400 firmware, and don't need the worry about inadvertently clicking a wrong button on the app and performing an upgrade... Besides, I fly manually 100% of the time anyway, so I don't need all the new "smart" features of the later...

    For those of you who want to remain on older firmware and don't want DJI Go 4 to keep bugging you about updating your firmware to the latest versions, just block the domains listed below and DJI GO 4 should no longer bother you with the message. The list is probably more than required if you...

    Flying In NFZ

    Sorry, can't help you on that since I don't use GEO as I'm still on older firmware and have GEO turned off, and I've never had to do this..

    Flying In NFZ

    The latest version of the app doesn't allow you to turn off GEO anymore. DJI is forcing everyone to use GEO and discontinuing the old NFZ in the latest versions of the app and firmware.

    If I stick to .400 which and android version of go 4 should I use?

    DJI Go 4 v4.0.3 for Android came out about 9 days after .400 firmware was released, so that's the version that should be most compatible with .400.. You can download from apkmirror at: DJI GO 4 4.0.3 APK Download by DJI TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD - APKMirror

    If you want to have "fun"...take a look what is coming...

    DJI changed the way that NFZ was managed/updated in .500 specifically because of pressure caused by drones shutting down airports in China. On firmware .400, the NFZ did not have the capability to be updated "on the fly". You can see the change with the release notes for Mavic firmware at: DJI...
