Oddly, I've been experiencing similar issues. My last flight was around 12/24/2017 due to cold weather, so I MIGHT still be on older version of DJI Go and I still have older firmware. No tips on how to stop it since I did not find a way to stop it myself either. Disconnects and that's that...

I didn't get to do a lot of longer-distance flying. I was in Marine Park RC field and went to Belt with no issues. Also out of Flushing Meadows RC field, flew to World Expo site over the lake. It's about 3000 feet straight, and I lost no reception and ran into zero issues. Only challenging part...

NYPD loves these calls. More tickets they can put on the offender, the better. Additionally, I did mention to 911 operator that I am being harassed by local security who are pretending that they can arrest me. Usually, same precinct officers respond to that area, and they are well aware of this...

If shipping costs from China were prohibitive, then manufacturing won't be done in China. Your $80 covers shipping, diagnostic, labor, and shipping back. Some refurbishment done locally. Some done in China. How many broken Mavics do you think you can fit in a single shipping container? Enough to...

Granted, I do not have a lot of experience flying, but I was asked twice so far. Once it was a kid at a field, with his father around. I politely told him no, and that I am still learning. Other time it was mu drunk friend, who wanted to fly it off a roof of a building.

What do you think happens with all crashed Mavics that end up at DJI's warehouse? They are sacrificed to a drone god? Nope. Salvaged parts are tested, and installed on refurbished units. Some are franken-made. For example, good motor but broken arm, they will manufacture new arm and mount the...

Decent idea, except Mavic's camera is a huge pile of crap, when you compare it to other cameras. Tiny sensor size, plus the idea that you have to move the entire drone around. In addition, no apps to do a panorama, or keep things leveled. Sure, gimbal is just extra cost, but I think it's a...

I have DJI Osmo Mobile. It's a piece of crap. It could be due to my phone being big and heavy. But a lot of time it will want to go into portrait mode instead of landscape, only because I tilted the handle a bit too far. There's also no 360 or even 180. You will need to reposition the gimbal and...

These are two different issues. Uncheck the box and you won't see the popup. The video disconnection is something that is happening on controller. I had it happen once mid-flight. Reconnecting did nothing. I used RTH to get back into reasonable range, and restarted the controller itself. App...

I use Note 8 for flying. It has new screen format. No distortion that I can see, app is full screen and easy to use. Flight Modes button is placed in a way that will bring up your control bar (home/multitask/back buttons) but I got around it by using 5-way switch on controller.

He announced a lot of things. Almost none actually worked. So, until anything is done... yawn.

Those dang muggles...

Marine Park has one, but it's some RC club owned. Brooklyn is tough. No drones allowed other than 2-3 spots and these spots are "owned" by a club. So nowhere to fly legally. I did fly in a park on Shore Parkway, and park employees didn't care at all.

Yeah I know. But Anker made a PD-compatible bank that can charge laptops. I am sure that with some interest, PD inverter can be made.

I mean, sure? Except the gimbal is kind of crap on it for handheld operation. And some phones/cameras have much better image sensor.
