    Flying from a boat

    I have launched and landed from a boat many times, all by hand but only for lack of a better option. Until you have done it, it sounds easy. The boat always seems to move more when you are trying to land your MP. A few key points for anyone trying this for the first time: -Keep in mind the...

    Pixelated Screen

    Update - After pouring through the forums, I backed my S7 Edge GO4 app down to 4.2.16 which has resolved the problem. I downloaded the apk from apkpure.com and turned off auto updates in the play store.

    DJI GO4 - Latest update issues?

    I think I jinxed it. I was commenting to a friend the other day how stable the app and firmware have been for a few months now. After the latest update, I can not fly at all. The screen is so pixelated and laggy, it is completely unusable. I am flying with a Galaxy S7 edge and a stock MP.

    Active Track - Camera Yes! Follow, No!

    Based on my experience tracking boats it is most likely one of two things: 1) You need to specifically enable backwards flight for active track, the default is off. Otherwise if your MP is next to, or in front of the boat, it will only track with the camera until it is behind the boat, and the...

    Landing Mavic pro on boat netting with propeller guards

    I would start by checking the CSC settings, it should shut it down if you have the in flight shutdown allowed. I like your idea and am interested to see how it goes. Post some pics if you build a prototype. I have launched and landed from a boat many times, all by hand but only for lack of a...

    Tips for passing part 107 test for FREEEEE?

    Just passed the part 107 last month with a 93%! First off, the exam was much harder than expected. I had read others say you need to UNDERSTAND the concepts, not just know the rules. I underestimated that statement. Several questions were situation based, many of which were about tower...

    Mavic pro forced landing dangerously, DJI avoid responsibility

    While this thread has been entertaining, I was a little concerned that in this case the Critical Low auto landing triggered at 20%, when the alarm set point is 10%. I went and re-reviewed the manual, and it does not say that the auto landing occurs at 10%, it says "The aircraft will land...

    [Poll] What is your Part 107 status?

    Just passed the part 107 two weeks ago with a 93%! First off, the exam was much harder than expected. I had read others say you need to UNDERSTAND the concepts, not just know the rules. I underestimated that statement. Several questions were situation based, many of which were about tower...

    Taking on airplane during traveling

    Also, for the safety of the batteries, DJI tells you to discharge them to <5% for transport (Battery Safety Guide - Transport - #6). I did some research on the forums and other websites about lithium batteries and decided to only go down to about 25% charge and had no problems. The FAA...

    Controller Display Resets

    Interested to know the outcome/ resolution to this post. I have had my mavic for just under a year with about 18 hours of total flight time, and this happened to me for the first time yesterday. Coincidently, this was also the first time I had a full loss of controller signal that triggered...
