    Aircraft Antenna Mod

    That wont work very well. The case forms a shield to keep the noise IN and provides a common ground between input and output. You fly with that the way it is and your range will be severely reduced as the noise from the exposed board will drown out your transmitted signal from the ground. . A...

    Flying on 18650 cells

    Set this up using the original battery monitoring board from a destroyed battery and 3 new LG HG2 18650 cells. I couldnt get the mon board to turn on so I powered the Mavic through one of the battery plugs I installed on the side. The mon board was plugged into the balance wires on the 18650...

    Lesson 1 - Mavic loses height when flying forwards in sports mode - crash at 30MPH :(

    Thread title says "Mavic loses height is sports mode" thats incorrect, you didnt have any height to begin with.

    Mavic Pro Battery Mod

    Fair enough, best to err on the side of caution if you are unsure.

    Mavic Pro Battery Mod

    I would use smaller cables too, 14 to 16 AWG (maybe even smaller) from the backpack battery because its not supplying ALL the current, merely contributing 1/2 (or a 3rd if using 2 extra batteries). It doesnt need to be large and the wires are only short anyway. I would also open up the backpack...

    Mavic Pro Battery Mod

    Love whats going on here, a bit late to the party tho. 18650s has been done, and depending on weight could be an alternative, they weigh about 50 grams each. Also, why is everyone using the big XT60 connectors when space is so tight, its not drawing anywhere near 60A and there is a much...

    Phones and tablets that work well with DJI GO

    They are excellent, largish and super bright for outdoors and can be picked up cheaply on eBay. Runs both Go4 and Litchi, easily swaps between them, and I've never had an issue. Plus the android updates keep coming for it too. Simply awesome.

    I am using a Galaxy tab A 7.0 SM-T280 flying the Mavic pro. I am getting disconnected every few seco

    Make sure you turn off the wifi on the tablet/phone you are using as it is the same frequency as the mavic transmission signal. The only time i have ever had disconnects, the wifi was left on, turned it off and problem solved.
