    Firmware update procedure

    I did try with the app. But for some reason, maybe because of a weak wifi connection, the wifi seemed to be knocked out by the radiolink between RC and MP. The download wouldn't finish. So now i connect the PC to internet by wired connection, and not a glitch. Btw I checked the manual V1.6...

    Firmware update procedure

    I am a bit in the wild when reading this thread. For all my updates I have used DJI Assistant 2. What I have done is: - Connect the RC to the computer with a usb cable. - Connect the RC to MP in the normal way with the radio control link (no usb cable). Then, when running the update, for all I...

    Hi, After experimenting with my Mavic Pro on the table, and having a couple of flights, I would like to reinstall the Go 4 app on my S7 so that I can start with the minimum number of DJI related files on my phone. From then I would like to monitor the build up of related files. At the moment I...

    Approaching seventy flights, no calibration of any kind

    I have only completed a few flights with my new Mavic, and I plan to follow the instructions and calibrate IMU and compass if and when the app prompts me to do so. I feel sure that if my drone crashes or flies away for some reason I think would be of interest to the forum, I will come back and...

    new firmware

    Hi Mavic community, Please forgive me if this is in the wrong thread. I received my new Mavic just a few days ago, and it has not flown yet. I updated the firmware when I got it, and repeated (refreshed) for my 2 spare batteries. Due to possible interference between all the stuff on my table I...
