    Should RTH Land?

    I was flying my Mavic Air today for the first time. It was about 400 ft away and I got the "Aircraft Disconnected" message. After a few minutes it initiated a return to home, flew up to 400 ft (I need to lower this), flew back and then came down to within 10 ft of the ground. While it was...

    Locating a Crashed Drone Using Distance

    Thank you. That is exactly what I needed. I also have a GPS app on my phone so it would make it trivial to find.

    Locating a Crashed Drone Using Distance

    I was off the grid so no map data. It also just seemed to show where the home point was so didn't change as I walked closer. May need to go experiment this afternoon.

    Locating a Crashed Drone Using Distance

    I crashed my drone earlier this week and went to find it. I thought I could just use the distance on the app to help locate it. But as I walked towards the crash the distance never changed. I guessed that it was the distance from the home point and not the controller so I changed the home point...

    FIRMWARE UPDATE. Is this a moral issue?

    If you have DJI Care do you have to upgrade to maintain coverage? Is not upgrading a reason for them to deny repair.

    Flying the MV is distressing on its own, but not seeing anything on the screen due to the daylight..

    Hoodman makes a nice hood for a phone or tablet. They have stretchy fabric at the bottom that allows you to reach your hand in. Products in Phone Hoods - www.hoodmanusa.com

    Is your Mavic drone your most amazing toy?

    My CNC router and laser engraver are probably my most fun toys. The Mavic is next.

    Choppy video on my phone when flying drone close by.

    Thanks. I was having similar issues and will give this a try. I was also getting tired of all the notifications that kept popping up and had thought about turning them off. Airplane mode is much simpler.

    How is everyone getting still shots from the Mavic?

    "Print Screen" is going to give you crappy resolution. If you are shooting in 4K video you can get decent still frames but you need to use a video editor to grab them. As for me, I pause the video and take the photo, then restart the video. I don't want 28 mins of video anyway. 1-2 mins max for...

    First flight - Video drop outs

    The jerkiness was caused because I would be panning and the video would freeze and by the time it unfroze I overshot where it was supposed to end up.

    First flight - Video drop outs

    My Mavic arrived today and there was break between storms so I took it out for a test flight in my backyard. It flew great and I just spent time familiarizing myself with the differences between it at my Phantom 3 Pro. The biggest issue I had was jerky video. Happened every few seconds or so...

    Mavic fell into San Francisco Bay.. how to replace?

    I was wondering the same thing. The map in the link clearly shows the bridge (and areas around it in the water) as being part of the National Recreational Area.

    Customs issues in Mexico (Cancun airport)

    I took my Phantom 3 Pro through the Cancun airport a year ago with no issues.
