    Latest update, seems to make Mav less stable

    Thanks Anthony. I'll go recalibrate but I tend to do it almost every other flight since I'm often in transit and it's in a backpack. But, I'll get it out today, wind or no wind. Hopefully, it's just me being an overly observant idiot.

    Anyone turning all their Obstacle Avoidance off?

    I never, ever use protection, but I'm fairly abstinent at this age and with my divorce history. :-) I've had mine off since I received it. I don't take too many chances and preplan a lot of my flights. So, it hasn't really ever done much for me except been a novelty to show friends.

    Latest update, seems to make Mav less stable

    Are you using an Apple device or some other? I only ask, because I usually use my Pixel XL, but wanted something bigger for night flights. My iPad Air 2 is a bit on the large side, so I'll probably try an iPad Mini of some variant. I'm just curious if firmware is device specific (Apple vs...

    Latest update, seems to make Mav less stable

    I'm just curious if anyone has noticed the same thing. A few days ago, I tried out an iPad Air 2 (a bit large) and was forced to install a lengthy update for my Mavic Pro (about 150MB). I didn't think much about it but diligently upgraded my Mav via the Go 4 app. But, after all was said and...

    DFW Mavic Pilots!

    I'm over in Bedford area. Would definitely be interested in meeting fellow owners. Haven't met one yet, just lots of interested people in the Mavic. Sent from my SM-T817V using MavicPilots mobile app

    Diappointed in Mavic

    Like anything else, if there's money in it, they'll deliver. If people are interested in actually resolving any of the follow me issues, start overwhelming DJI with feature requests. If you build it, they will come. Lol.

    Phones and tablets that work well with DJI GO

    I had major problems with my Google Pixel XL and the Mavic fresh out of the box. So frustrating, I had to rant for a few minutes and just put it down. What would happen, is with the DJI Go 4 app (Go app was worse, crashed instantly, every time), when first connected, it would loop between...

    DJI Mavic controller + Google Pixel XL?

    I think for anyone who intends to use a device aside from an iPhone, you can expect issues. I contacted DJI who stated they would not support any other device but an iPhone, but stated their app "may work outside of iOS". I kind of laughed as it limits their market to less than half the...

    DJI Mavic controller + Google Pixel XL?

    I've got an iPhone I'm going to try. It's a 6s with a cracked screen but if it works properly on that, I'll buy an iPad Mini and the add on brackets. I'd be interested to hear if anyone else is using it. The Go 4 software was much more stable but I can't seem to update firmware with it...

    DJI Mavic controller + Google Pixel XL?

    I have a Pixel XL. Not that there should be much difference. When I power up my mavic, then remote and then Go App, the app shows the drone on the first page and immediately loops to accept their terms, then back and forth until I kill it. Every so often, when I just keep tapping the phone...

    DJI Mavic controller + Google Pixel XL?

    I just got my Mavic Pro in yesterday. Charged everything, went to try to open both DJI Go and/or Go 4. Go 4 never can get connected and the Go older version just loops in circles in "agreeing with terms" and trying to connect. There's no stopping it either. I have to power off my phone and...
