RC disconnect. Flying around buildings, trees??

Would setting the Mavic up with "Home Point Lock" help whenever disconnects occur, and LOS is "faint"...?

Think OLD SCHOOL is the New Cool. If I were you, and wish I was back in college with the wisdom I now have, I would not try to be like everyone else. 4K, soon to be 8K, is awesome, but I would try lower resolutions and cheaper cameras for the effect they give you. Everyone will have super...

No way to fly in ATTI-mode safely with GPS satellites being picked up indoors. The satellite signals get inside thru windows, inside my little living room I always pick up 5-8 sats, thereby causing the Mavic to constantly switch between ATTI, OPTI and GPS modes. Without a disable GPS switch, we...

Possibly "Follow Me" mode requires a close distance to be maintained between Mavic and Subject...

Film in 4K for the Future. I'm in the same boat. I've had to upgrade to the fastest most-memory desktop PC I could afford ($1500-2500) so I can reliably view and edit 4K. The difference in quality between 1080p and 4K is worth it. Eventually 4K will be the norm and you might kick yourself in 5...

I know, flying cameras and all that voodoo tech, just thought I'd try to put in some defense for the ideas, nuthin rong with ideas...someone had the idea to utilize atomic energy at some point in our history, others abused that idea, go hide in the mountains if yer scared.

Park Rage. Add it to the rest of our modern Rages. Road Rage, Soccer-Mom Rage, T-Ball-Dad Rage, Trump Rage, Clinton Rage... bunch a paranoids thanks to good ole television.

These guys don't seem to think it's bad for their hobby :confused:.

ISIS is watching with interest:cool: Looks cool, put it in the pool, lets see it float. I'm no engineer but I think the floats need more distance between them for a wider stance. All you need now is a remote disconnect device to drop test them floatsThumbswayup

I take off and hover about 10feet or more above my Home point for 30 seconds at least , this allows the downward avoidance cameras to take images of the take off point for a later landing. Also, camp site to me means trees, trees block satellites Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots

Still waiting for a verified issue in an Open Field. Open fields do not contain forests, sheds, homes, a parking lot, etc etc. Show the disconnect issues in open fields and I'll believe we have faulty products. Oh, and Android vs iOS is also a huge variable in all of these cases of disconnect...

If the IMU is so sensitive to physical force, then we would need to calibrate it every time we had a hard landing, or it hit a tree limb but did not crash....Or the Mavic case was dropped a few feet to the ground...

What's your opinion on these Sensors flyNfrank? Lots of posts on them causing unwanted actions. Do you have them all activated? Just wondering before I go out again, you seem to know your $h!t

Youtube rendering is a possible cause of jerky video as well, I use Cyberlink Power Director and it chooses the Youtube render settings for me, even after 10years of youtube posts I still don't have the render settings figured out...of course, if you see the jerky movements on a home PC from...
