    Astonishing and scary data collection by DJI

    Yeah, sadly I don't have separate device that could be offline and dedicated solely to the Mavic. So I have to find other ways of separating Go app from DJI network to prevent data uploads. Will go have a look around. Sadly I did not, gave DJI too much credit. Now I'm at fw .900 and app 4.1.3...

    Astonishing and scary data collection by DJI

    Thanks for that last vid @Robbyg, added new point to the after flight checklist. "Go to Settings>Apps>DJI GO4> Force Stop" After that app doesn't do any background connections any more. Thought I already blocked it completely, but after watching the video went back to recheck and found that it...

    Astonishing and scary data collection by DJI

    No one said that DJI is only one doing that, but this is Mavic forum and thats why we are discussing DJI here, Facebook, Google and others have their own sins but discussing them here would be complete off-topic. Sadly we can't even talk about blocking the personal data collection or thread...

    Fly Mavic Pro over ocean

    Whole set weights 133g, handle setup without floats 45g and floats without handle 133g. And as suggested by that weights, set can be configured to have handle (no landing on it's own, only hand catch is possible) or just floats, it then can land by itself (not on the water). With handle attached...

    Fly Mavic Pro over ocean

    Yeah, deep cuts while out on the ocean are worst option, I agree on that. Good that landing on the board works for You, when I saw your post about landing on the deck I involuntarily thought about vessels I am on (no place to land drone), while You didn't said anything about what kind of...

    Fly Mavic Pro over ocean

    You'd be surprised, I didn't notice any significant reduction in air time per battery, neither handling in the wind. Granted I don't fly in extremely bad weather, but in conditions shown in the video it was fine. An I am not forgetting about spray and waves, this is handle for hand launch and...

    App itself as well, it connects to loads of different servers when phone is online.

    Astonishing and scary data collection by DJI

    Yep, and that's why recently I made sure, I am not sending any data back to DJI. Funny stuff, had quite a few problems with app recently (video getting messed up, app freezing, etc.) and they are gone since connections got blocked.

    Fly Mavic Pro over ocean

    Yeah, landing on the boat might not be smartest idea. When I do it I always catch and launch from the hand, I figured solution that's helping me with it. OP, just be careful and enjoy, ocean is not some terrible beast just waiting to eat as many Mavics as possible. As others mentioned before...
