    Customs issues in Mexico (Cancun airport)

    I have been there once with my Mavic and did not have any issues.

    RC Disconnects

    Yeah I'm aware of all the wifi in the neighborhood, there's a lot. However the behavior consistently occurred at every locale where I would fly, some had no wifi whatsoever. Still got disconnects. Happy to report no problems as of yet with the replacement MP though!

    HELP! MAVIC crashes when I try to take off

    This attachment looks as if it would place the center of gravity too far forward to me. I believe your description of the the crash fits this explanation as well.

    RC Disconnects

    Update for anyone interested: DJI has replaced the MP unit. I still have the original RC, and after 2 brief flights the issue appears resolved. Hopefully the problem lies with the old MP and not the RC. Another interesting bit is that on the repair invoice, DJI indicated that they replaced the...

    RC Disconnects

    Sent if off yesterday, here's to hoping for a good outcome. On another note though, has anyone had an experiences with the battery light behaving bizarrely? I have had a few strange incidents lately. Just now the lights were green as if it was charging, but it has been on the charger for...

    RC Disconnects

    Not necessarily when it's coming back, it just seems to happen when it's close. Often it will be when hovering nearby.

    RC Disconnects

    Hi all, I'm about to send in my MP for frequent disconnects from the RC. Before doing so though I thought I'd see if anyone has any thoughts on what is going on. Briefly, it seems to disconnect when it is fairly close, within 0-100 feet or so, at multiple locations. This is a complete...

    Stock Charger not working

    My charger is suddenly not working, has anyone else had any kind of issues with the stock charger by chance?

    Poll: Are you happy with your Mavic?

    I'm happy with it, but I must confess to a certain amount of fear of disconnect or fly-away. As I sit here writing this I am actually on vacation in Cancun and hesitant to launch because I've had disconnections from the RC in the past.

    Almost atti mode

    True, but what it might allow is skill development. For example...proper muscle memory related to nose in hovering is difficult to develop when the craft simply stops itself when the stick is centered.

    Almost atti mode

    Well I stand corrected. However, the significance of 0% braking still stands because it's a near solution to pilots not truly learning how to fly because the MP is doing all the corrections for them.

    Mavic lost connection or crash issues?

    As of the last few days I've had both total RC disconnections as well as app disconnections.

    Almost atti mode

    Atti mode is flying without braking assistance, meaning if your MP is flying forward and you let off the stick, it will continue forward from the momentum. If we were actually able to set braking sensitivity to 0, we could fly our mavics in atti AND still have gps assisted rth. At 10% it's...
