    3rd party charging hub? Filters? How long until they show up?

    I have been using one of these, on other things, not just the Mavic 3, takes the battery charge time down to around 60 mins each battery on the M3.

    Mavic3 and RC PRO

    Set up the iPhone as a Personal Hotspot and also turn on Maximise Compatibility. On the RCPro connect to the iPhone using the password you set in the Personal Hotspot. Worked first time and every time since, you must turn on Maximise Compatibility for it to work. Bluetooth is not required...

    remotes

    Hi! Yes you can swap back and forth & there’s no limit to the number of times you can swap. Just remember that you will need an internet connection to actually bind the remote to your aircraft and DJI account to ensure you’re covered if you have a flyaway. This is why you can fly 5 times...

    Mavic 3 Flyaway

    Pretty certain the standard controller does not contain a GPS it gets its GPS data from your mobile device.

    Mavic 3 won’t activate.

    Have you contacted your supplier? If they are a DJI supplier they will be able to assist.

    Mavic 3 won’t activate.

    If you are using the standard remote, delete the app from your display device and re-install, make sure you are logged into your account. Make sure that the 4 leds are solid, not flashing, which indicates the RC and the aircraft are linked. If they are flashing and never go solid when the...

    Mavic 3 Cine - First Flight behavior not impressive

    Confusingly it’s a two step process! DJI call ‘linking’ the process of assigning the remote to the aircraft so you can control it. DJI call ‘binding’ the action of linking the RC the aircraft & your account for their flyaway cover. The reason why it’s not just one process, I.e when you link...

    Mavic 3 Cine - First Flight behavior not impressive

    You bind the remote to your aircraft in order to qualify for flyaway cover. The binding process links the remote, aircraft and your DJI account together. If you want to swap controllers then that’s OK but you will get a message that the aircraft is bound to a different controller along with a...

    Air 2S is MUCH Louder than Air 2! Normal or not?

    It’s noisy! I just got one of these and it’s much much louder than my M3 and my M2E! The stock props for the A2 and the A2S are the same other than the tip colours.

    iPad Pro will not connect to Mavic 3 Controller Via USB C

    Take the connector out of the USB-C out of the remote, turn it round and plug it back in, USB-C connectors are reversible so can be inserted either way round, one way works & one way doesn’t in my experience when trying to get USB-C working with an iPad Pro.

    iPad Pro will not connect to Mavic 3 Controller Via USB C

    Turn one of the ends 180degrees, it that doesn’t work turn the other end 180 degrees. I have found that in typical USB-C fashion there is no standard!! If all else fails get a USB-C to USB-A adapter and use a USB-A to USB-C cable to connect to the iPad.

    RC Pro Fixes Needed

    You can only ever have one RC linked to to a drone otherwise if 'the other' remote was inadvertently powered up it would cause some serious interference, its done for safety. The re-bind is for flyaway insurance, it forms part of the T's & C's of that insurance offered by DJI as part of the...

    CE marking of Mavic 3

    The all have a CE mark! To market any product in the EU requires it. It’s the ‘C’ mark that they, along with every other drone, do not yet have. Not like the EU to introduce a confusing system!

    CE marking of Mavic 3

    No, just like every other done currently in production. I have an M3. The legislation required has not yet been ratified by the European Union. Until it is, manufactures cannot apply the ‘C’ mark. In principe it’s all done, but all nations have to agree to invoke it. It’s supposed to happen...

    iPad Pro will not connect to Mavic 3 Controller Via USB C

    I have some standard, if there is such a thing, USB-C to USB-C cables and have discovered, as someone else mentioned, that if it doesn't work, rotating the end that plugs into the RC-1N 180 degrees it works. I have at least two cables that do this. Using any high performance 2x2 USB 3.1 V2...
