    Trouble Connecting Controller, Mavic, and DJI Go 4 App

    Disable bluetooth and enable airplane mode on phone before starting anything else. I was having the same sort of disconnect issues while I was on vacation in Martinique. I posted to the forum and was given that recommendation which worked for me. BTW I am flying MP with latest FW, latest app...

    Crashed in ocean Waikiki - recovered after 30 minutes..

    Ouch, that is painful to watch. Glad I turned off all my sensors on my risky little flight under this pier in Martinique a few weeks ago Full video of trip (photos, gopro, and lots of drone footage spliced together)

    Taking my Mav Pro carry on? Flying American Airlines.

    I bought this bag for my trip to Martinique. Took the drone with me everyday to all the different beaches we visited. Bag also has room for other stuff so it's a good multipurpose solution. ViewPoint BP 250 AW | Lowepro

    Great travel bag

    I bought this bag to use for my 17 day vacation in Martinique. I was able to take the drone with me everyday to new beaches, hiked up a volcano with it (to windy to fly but I tried). It fits the MP, 2 extra batteries, and the controller. I like that there is still room to back other things in...

    Martinique 2017

    Here's my first go at making a video. Wife and I and a couple friends spent 17 days in Martinique. Video is mix of phone pics, drone pics, drone video and a couple go pro videos as well. Still a rookie at trying to making good smooth videos but I am learning. For those interested I used...

    Mavic Pro and Google Pixel 2

    I had the same issue on my trip, the fix was to reset phone and disable bluetooth and enable airplane mode. I have a Pixel 2 XL as well. Some others in the forum suggested a new cable but I was in Martinique and that wasn't an option.

    DJI App disconnecting

    Just wanted to give an update and say thank you. The disabling bluetooth and enabling airplane mode seems to have done the trick. I have now done 15+ successful flights around the island without any major disconnects

    Mavic Pro and Google Pixel 2

    Disable bluetooth and turn on airplane mode. I was experiencing same issues with my Pixel 2 XL and that did the trick after someone suggested it in this forum. I did do a full restart on the phone as well before making the settings changes

    DJI App disconnecting

    Brought my MP to Martinique (arrived yesterday). Updated FW before I left and did a test flight to update no fly db. App disconnected on test flight at home in Texas and I had to restart phone and app for it to reconnect. Thought it was a one time thing. Now 5-6 flights in and this issue is...

    Close call

    Had my first and hopefully last branch run in today. Took the Mavic out for a quick flight to grab some pictures of guys working on my pool build. Brought it back over my house and was going to land on the front sidewalk. Decided to bring in down to head level in my yard instead of just...

    A little clarification on DJI order to ship times?

    Ordered my Fly More Combo from DJI on 1/17 and received it on 2/1 (Austin, TX) I read online that the 5-7 day shipping time was after the payment posts. It's didn't post to my credit card for 3-5 days and then another 2-3 days before I received the shipping confirmation/tracking number email.

    Mavic Shipped Today

    REALLY REALLY UNHAPPY!!

    I waited till I saw DJI's website drop their shipping date to 5-7 days before I ordered mine which was on Jan 17. I had read that the 5-7 days wasn't until your payment cleared which took another 3-5 days. I received my Mavic last Wednesday 2/1.
