What's the 'Not Allowed to change Aircraft Mode. If needed, enable it in Main Controller Settings.' in the log? If the controller changed from Mode 2 to Mode 1, the throttle and elevator sticks are reversed.

20 hours, 285KM, 112 flights still on original props. I'm checking the pins more regularly now as I'd expect they'd need replacing eventually due to normal wear, I'd hate to loose it just due to a failed prop. DJI stated the folding arm mechanism has been tested to 5000 open and closes. Have the...

Same for me. I got this error only when I used an sd card I already had lying around. Haven't used that sd card since and no error anymore.

I got this error on 01.03.0400 I think it was when using a particular sd card for the first time. I don't use that card anymore and haven't had the error since.

Looks like you flew out with a good tail wind. Speed out is > 40mph but back in direction of home is < 6mph. At a distance of 7700feet/2.3km at 1000 feet/300m altitude and with high wind warning, it may not have been able to get home. Draw a straight line on a map from last known position to...

The phone reception is only needed for loading the map overlay. Shouldn't have anything to do with rc signal range or gps reception. Make sure you do have gps for the home point to be recorded before takeoff in case you do fly out of signal.

I've had this happen as well and has been reported a fair bit by others in the forums. Seems the collision avoidance gets confused from the sun glare and/or reflections.

Gday. Yes it's a very good drone, you'll be starting at a high standard of aircraft. Having said that, there are many videos and forum posts out there of new pilots messing up due to not undertanding it's capabilities, limitations and how all of the features work. To look after your Mavic, take...

Thanks. I've flown rc planes for quite few years. Been building quads for video in the last couple but felt like I was forever trying to get the tuning just right; there's some mixed results you can see on my youtube channel. I could see the DJI products are very good but wasn't too interested...

I ordered from Rise Above on the 11th Oct and was 134 on the list. With their expected 25-30 delivery, I'd say they'd only be half way through the list to me. I found one at jbhifi just before christmas and cancelled the rise above order.

Very nice! Good to know you're considering the Mavic is up to the task for your level of work.

Nice shot. Looking off the the south? It's a very capable camera, I just need to learn how to get the most out of it now.

It's just a tree/bush (Melaleuca or Tea tree maybe). It sort of looks ghostly for some reason. I have since turned the sharpness down a bit from the default settings.

I'm from the Blue Mountains (upper) as well. Here's some video taken in the first few days of flying the Mavic around some the local trails.
