    some guy doing an FCC hack permanent for RC pro Controller

    Probably to prevent server overload and fair play for all users. Won't be surprised some will constantly spam the FCC hack tool if they fail, or maybe even DJI can try to overload the server. It's actually good practice though I do think two hours is a bit draconian. Maybe 30min would be...

    Mavic Pro EU compliance and transmit power

    Finally got to doing a proper range test in a non-urban environment, and boy is the range fantastic! This is the noise floor for the area, very clean. Even at 5,000 meters out, there were still 4 bars on both control and HD link. 7km should not be an issue. Bloody impressed! One thing I...

    Any idea if the adapters are on thingiverse? Can't seem to find them. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

    How often do you forget to remove the Gimbal Clamp?

    That's a good idea! Plus having a bright string attached or some sort should remind you to remove the gimbal clamp. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

    PSA: DJI Care Refresh not available in some countries

    Made a boo-boo, been surfing dji store using US as the country all this while. Apparently when you switch to your country you won't be able to choose Care Refresh. Have emailed dji to apologize and say no call for refunds Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

    Mavic Pro EU compliance and transmit power

    Apparently not, as the power output is based on wherever you are flying from. So if you take your mavic back to UK, it will limit itself to CE standards which is about 2km? 26db (fcc) vs 20db (ce), every 3db is a doubling. Max range as stated on the specs is 7km. So halved and again halved will...

    "Fly More Combo" worth it?

    to be honest, given the state of things now no one can say for sure about the availability of batteries. The demand for the mavic and her accessories are tremendous, especially batteries. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

    What kind of case are you getting for your Mavic?

    Returned the taranis to the taranis box, and got this hard case with pluck foam for cheap. Charger under the TX. Light and have a strap and handle. Exact box with dimensions for reference here: Aluminium Case, L355×W250×H140mm Pluck Foam Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk

    Mavic Pro EU compliance and transmit power

    That's right. Until most wifi moves over to 5GHz the 2.4GHz spectrum is going to be extremely crowded in urban environments. We amplify our rc signals and it can potentially raise all kinds of hell around, including the undesirable kind that brings authorities down on us. Best is a parabolic...

    Mavic Pro EU compliance and transmit power

    I think amplifying would not be an ideal solution. Like the inspire 1, it's just a matter of time parabolic reflectors appear on the market. Could use the inspire 1's reflectors but they are too big. And then again, you shouldn't be flying too far in a noisy urban environment anyway. If the...

    Mavic Pro EU compliance and transmit power

    I'm thinking it could be a higher noise floor compared to when I flew the inspire 1 about a month ago. Will be going to another country with real countryside next week, will do the trials there and report back. Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
