    Some Newbie Questions..

    Mavic Air users, what range do you normally get? I recently took my Mavic out into the middle of nowhere. It was 3 cars, all of us parked and turned off surrounded by about 4-5KM of fields around us. I flew the Mavic Air up and at around 300m away from me (56m high) i got signal warnings of...

    Compass calibration

    Yes, but completing calibration makes the error go away and it flies perfectly? Until the next time I power it off, remove the battery and put the next one on. If I just land it, turn it off and leave it there then turn it on without moving it much its still fine. But the moment its been in the...

    Compass calibration

    So, this got me thinking - cause I got a new car about the time i bought my Mavic a few months ago and it has a Bose sound system. It sounded like it had a subwoofer but i couldn't find one. Until I looked at the spare wheel, below where the drone sits in my bag - is a HUGE subwoofer lol...

    Compass calibration

    Okay so another finding; I can stop it wanting a re-calibration EVERY time i fly by taking my Apple Watch off (i'm left handed so watch and Aircraft are in my right hand when calibrating compass). However packing it in the car, or my laptop bag for a while still results in the compass errors...

    Portable power banks for Mavic Air

    Anyone know if there's a smaller version of this that can do 2 batteries only? I've seen on some airline T&C's that you cannot bring on-board or check-in luggage a lipo device exceeding 150wh - so this one at 158Wh might not be able to come with if you're travelling? Is there one that charges...

    Wind Speed

    Well i'm on an island in the Med and I have not been flying due to winds (i'm worried it will be carried away). I come outside and there's this Swiss dude flying his MA all over the sky, doing dronies, going up high over the town etc .lol I said to him isn't it too windy? He sais "Thish ish...

    Some Newbie Questions..

    Having just bought my drone a few weeks ago, i've done a few flights but have some questions I'm hoping more experienced users can help me with? 1. Is any processing for flight done on the PHONE? Sometimes i'm finding the DJI app on my iphone becomes unresponsive for a few seconds. I'de hate...

    Forgot to take gimbal guard off before turning drone on

    I've done it so many times lol! I even took off once and wondered why I couldn't see anything. Rotated the drone to face me and saw why lol ?‍♂️
