    MPP yaw motion 'hesitates' when releasing gimbal tilt control

    The latest version I have installed on my iPhone is 4.3.20, and it still has the issue. I had quit flying my MPP, so I hadn't downloaded the latest app. If you say it doesn't exhibit the problem, then perhaps they've finally fixed the issue. It's been only a year, after all. I'll give it a try...

    My Year-Long Struggle with DJI Support’s Incompetence (and why this matters to you)

    I don’t recall asking for help. My post was merely for information for those affected. If you are not affected, your input is neither requested, nor necessary (but I know that’s not going to stop you). Also, just an FYI, it was through my efforts that determined that Litchi was immune, so I’ve...

    This forum is a serious waste of time. See ya. Good luck. :)

    What's the point of that comment, tcope? Just curious why you felt the need to share it with such disdain. What is it with people on this forum?

    ANDROID. So far, no one with an Android device has experienced this issue to my knowledge. Lucky you. :p If you have an iPad or iPhone laying around, give it a go and report back. Cheers, and thanks for playing!

    My Year-Long Struggle with DJI Support’s Incompetence (and why this matters to you)

    :D Wow, seriously? You really think I'm that stupid? I'm a physicist and spent a career as a systems and SW engineer, and have even developed control SW for underwater autonomous vehicles. I'm also a pilot. So I know a little about how to fly a drone and using control systems. As explained...

    My Year-Long Struggle with DJI Support’s Incompetence (and why this matters to you)

    Please note that the video was done for demostration purposes, in order to best illustrate how the drone would hesitate whenever the gimbal tilt control was released WHILE you were also yawing. This will occur no matter what else the drone is doing at whatever altitude. You can fly it full speed...

    My Year-Long Struggle with DJI Support’s Incompetence (and why this matters to you)

    Grr... Sorry, dirkclod, it's been a long year. I'm not surprised, unfortunately. I've posted on this forum before and there seems to be a lot of generally unhelpful people trolling the ranks just waiting to jerk people's chains. And that's too bad. I have little tolerance for it, and I frequent...

    My Year-Long Struggle with DJI Support’s Incompetence (and why this matters to you)

    Yes, and so did the Mavics of multiple other users, in fact, every user who took the time to test it over on my thread on the DJI forum. We're the ones who actually identified it as a SW problem, since all DJI did was send me brand new drones with exactly the same issue. I even sent a detailed...

    My Year-Long Struggle with DJI Support’s Incompetence (and why this matters to you)

    I think if you had read my post, watched the video, and reviewed the lengthy thread over at DJI's forum, you probably wouldn't be asking me that question, but... there it is.

    My Year-Long Struggle with DJI Support’s Incompetence (and why this matters to you)

    There's always at least one... :rolleyes: Movies have been made using an iPhone, handheld, so... yeah, just because you can't use a sub-$1,000 consumer drone with a micro 2/3 sensor to do serious cinematography, doesn't mean it's not possible. I've taken spectacular footage with the MPP, but...

    My Year-Long Struggle with DJI Support’s Incompetence (and why this matters to you)

    My Year-Long Struggle with DJI Support’s Incompetence (and why this matters to you) First, let me get this out of the way: DJI support is completely incompetent. All they know how to do is ask you (repeatedly) to send your drone in after which they will send you a new drone in the hopes that...

    Mavic Pro/Pro Platinum Flight Control FW Defect

    I've identified a flight control defect on the MP and MPP that I've worked with DJI on for the past 6 months. I posted this issue on this forum back in August 2018, but no one here was willing to do the test themselves, i.e., I got no response. I had better luck on the DJI forums. Here's what...
