    This Camera is built to detect and take down drones

    My drone's connection with me was broken by a military jammer. They claimed they can't take control of the drone but just jam the signal between the controller and the bird and cause it to crash/land/fly off. Mine flew off in a straight line for the 2 seconds I could see it before a building...

    Lost drone - need advice on how to find it

    Some pics of the area The location where this little drone is flying when taking these pics is approximately the same place I thought I saw the Mavic for the last time before it went for emergency landing.

    Lost drone - need advice on how to find it

    As @SpinItOut also noticed, I was deliberately lowering it down and bringing it back home myself. Any idea why the drone would lose signal in just 300m distance? I am asking for learning purposes not to repeat the mistake in the future. I am not sure if the drone would continue in the...

    Lost drone - need advice on how to find it

    I am pretty sure it didn't land where the last data point is, I saw it quite far toward the land but it can still be in the water very close to land. I couldn't estimate it's distance from me when I saw it. At 6m 30.2s there was the warning. Thanks for the pointer regarding the height control.

    Thanks for the advice. Hopefully I will have a reason to check for these options.

    Lost drone - need advice on how to find it

    I haven't seen the dot there before posting the flight log. Do you know what it normally indicates? It does not show anywhere on my flight log on DJI Go 4. When I ran toward the drone, I actually passed by that area toward the bottom of the hill. (Hoping I managed to attach the screenshot of my...

    Lost drone - need advice on how to find it

    Hi, 4 days ago my Mavic Pro lost signal about 300m in front of me, then the battery died off and it did an emergency landing. I couldn't locate exactly where it landed and I've been looking for it. Yesterday it got into some very heavy rain for about an hour, but I am still hopeful that it can...

    trouble in extracting logs from crashed drone

    Thanks for taking the time to check them. I must have tried using the Assistant 2 to extract the data, or check how the gimbal reacts when turned on at least 15-20 times. I also tested once whether the drone flies, which it did. These were all before I learned that I could overwrite old logs...

    trouble in extracting logs from crashed drone

    Yes, you are right. There are many DAT files created, and as I explained, the date of the earliest one is 7 days after the crash and as you said it is 400mb+. Sent the file's dropbox link to Cyberpower678.

    trouble in extracting logs from crashed drone

    A skilled friend managed to get the .DAT files out of the drone, but they have something strange. The earliest .DAT is from April 11 but the crash happened on April 4. It seems like in my attempts to extract the logs, I had overwritten the logs as the DJI tech support said I would, after they...

    trouble in extracting logs from crashed drone

    I will have to check when I return home. The instructions that DJI sent me didn't have this detail, but I now see in your link that the newer version of Assistant 2 is supposed to do what you say. Today I got a rather surprizing email from DJI support: I sent them the photos of the drone saying...

    trouble in extracting logs from crashed drone

    Thanks Cyberpower678. The instructions are pretty much the same as those from DJI. To add to what I had said earlier, the Assistant recognizes the Mavic, then when I go into Flight Record section, after confirming to enter the Flight Data Mode, I see no flight records. It would automatically...
