    What is the simplest way to fly a circle?

    Use active track, trace mode! Choose an initial position (radius) and mark the object, this will be your center point. Start, and use left/right to circle around the subject, up / down to adjust height . Trace Mode In Trace Mode, the drone maintains a constant distance while it continues to...

    Why is the COG (center of gravity) way off on the Mavic?!

    If you could find that post again I will be happy to read it!

    Why is the COG (center of gravity) way off on the Mavic?!

    In my experience is having a "mechanical stable design" + "well written software driven stabilization" winning pair... What i am trying to say here, is that i see 4 identical motors, and seeing all sorts of asymmetric design points, there must be situations that a combination of factors will...

    It is a question, Why this assemetry?

    Why is the COG (center of gravity) way off on the Mavic?!

    Yes, I saw this "angeled" rotor disks too... imo it is by design... Would be nice to find that post where you were talking about the cog/co-mass/co-trust! Side & front view of rotor disks I am talking about "center of diagonal motor trust" is way off "cog" ... Symmetry is important on...

    Why is the COG (center of gravity) way off on the Mavic?!

    Consider this: Yawning on a quadcopter (4 motors) is done on increasing 2 diagonal motors rpm and decreasing the 2 other ones. In difficult situations as rapid descents, to keep a horizontal level, it has to compensate for the cog that is way off + the yaw-heading + descent=low rpm of the...

    Why is the COG (center of gravity) way off on the Mavic?!

    If you lift the Mavic with the two diagonal opposite motors (on the propellers hub), the Mavic will lean heavily forward ("nose heavy"). This "mechanical" design imbalance is strange ... , and as a consequence, provokes a problem that can be seen when you decent the Mavic vertically down at max...
