    Mavic looses RC Signal after take off when < 2m away

    you're right - I will do a firmware upgrade, and also will go to DJI Go 4 and get rid of Litchi (atm). Although I dont think the connection issues here have anything to do with the app... One thing I dont like about Litchi: you cant access some of the basic settings that DJI go shows (like...

    Mavic looses RC Signal after take off when < 2m away

    Hi, I viewed your log and under "Sensors" you see the RSSI signal and it got really bad (purple) and 325 (where lower is better and everything above 100 is terrible I guess). I noticed that my first flights were all green (when I used DJI go) and now with Litchi they are not so good - but this...

    Mavic looses RC Signal after take off when < 2m away

    short update of today: did 2 more flights - this time in -6°C with slight fog and rising sun. Awesome video and photo results (check RCSchim on youtube soon). No issues - but the signal map in healthydrones appears red and purple since i changed to litchi. I dont think this means, the signal...

    Best Aerial Shots I've captured so far

    Boy, this looks terrible. I mean, if you go for a fance painting effect it's nice. Can imagine that you're pissed with this quality. I dont think this is focus related. This more looks like a software filter (noise reduction?). Have you tried taking DNG Raws next to JPGs? If I'm correct the...

    Best Aerial Shots I've captured so far

    Vienna is almost fully covered with a no fly zone (since it's within 20km range of the international airport. So basically nobody should fly there I guess... Visitors dont get easier rules here :)

    Mavic looses RC Signal after take off when < 2m away

    Hi Kabauterman, had the same issue this morning: first RC disconnect(s) ever! until now (I have around 20 flights) I only had 2 APP freezes yet - but they disappeared with firmware) This morning the first RC signal lost error appeared 3m away from me! I waited a bit, first thought it was...

    RCSchim's indepth review (not the usual stuff :)

    These are my thoughts on the Mavic Pro after around 1 month of flying. So many features - sorry couldnt get it much shorter. Check the video Index (clickable in videos Infobox) to jump directly to interesting parts!

    Best Aerial Shots I've captured so far

    I only focus once (usually after ascending a few meters and looking to the horizon. this does focus to inifinity which works in most cases. only if you film very close objects, you'd need to focus new...

    Best Aerial Shots I've captured so far

    no, I think it doesnt make sense. it would be some protection, but not much on a crash I think. and you will have fogging maybe, sun glare...

    Best Aerial Shots I've captured so far

    Guys, check out my latest compilation. Tried to choose only the most epic shots from 5 sessions (1-3 flights each). These are my first 3 weeks with this drone. Full review will follow soon (think I tested most functions out soon - currently exploring Litchi more). Filmed mostly in 4k (first...

    Is anyone else experiencing frequent disconnections?

    Hi all. I wrote in this thread here - dont wanna double post too much. but please help in testing - I have a few ideas. Main ideas: go into airplane mode, have phone charged as much as possible, clear memory, end all other apps. also check if you have the DJI go app update (3.1.0(7) - I got...

    Help with disconnects

    Nope, this wouldnt help in my case. They only way to get connection on phone back was to reboot the controller. (this was of course with the one disconnect I had while the drone was on the ground). Today, when it happend in the air I had to use RTH. Didnt wanna reboot the controller and lose the...

    Help with disconnects

    Hi all, I'm on the most current software (did the update 2days ago). Had 2 disconnects already (one on the ground, one this morning while flying). I have a Galaxy S7. My thoughts: may charging phone cause the usb port to be shut down by the controller at some point? (today I had 68% phone...
