    Cloud above the Peak of Hong Kong

    Nice work. Just wondering, by any chance did you get any interference from any of those transmission towers?

    Can not remove radar screen from app

    I find the radar one of the most useful navigation features. This information just makes it even more useful. Thanks for that.

    16 SATs and then boom! ATTI Mode and almost a fly-a-way!

    After a month of flying with rock solid GPS lock, the last few days I have been experiencing sudden loss of satellite reception and the Mavic going into Atti mode. These have been in the same location as before, and only for short (5 - 15 seconds) periods before regaining good satellite lock...

    General settings-single finger, two finger

    If you swipe vertically on your screen, all the icons disappear leaving just the transmitted video on display. It's a way to view the image without all the clutter. That setting adjusts the swipe motion to be used with either one or two fingers.

    Norway: fjords, trees, snow, mountains, mist - this is a tiny dose of it

    Fantastic. Great shots. The birds going after the fish was just amazing. Been to Norway a couple of times, but before I got into drones. One of the most beautiful places on the planet. Now I have to go back, with my Mavic. Edit: I just saw your other video of the Eagles hunting the ducks...

    First Day Of Flying The Mavic Was Great.

    I too used to quickly hit RTH when I lost sight of the bird and anxiety set in. One more tip/suggestion: learn to use and rely on the Radar. It highlights the orientation of the AC and by turning it so it points at the centre (your location), you can fly it back to you with just forward stick...

    Landing Pad.. Won't auto land?

    I also have the same landing pad and usually it lands spot on. I say usually, because every once in a while, precision landing seems way off. However, that may well be my fault, in that I may have moved off before giving the Mavic enough time to visually mark the take off spot.

    Post crash audible alarm

    Hi GerdS, I am interested in the Loc8tor as well but am concerned about the range. How do you find it? The other day I crashed my Mavic into the thickest bunch of brambles and I had a hard time locating it.

    Does anyone have these soft hard shell liners?

    I too ordered these cases from Ali Express and received them in about 10 days (to the UK). Something got screwed up along the way and I only received the Mavic case without the RC case, but I contacted them on the website and they rectified it immediately. Ali Express does have good protection...

    Prop Life? When To Replace.

    I too crashed my Mavic, hit a small tree branch I hadn't noticed. I lost a prop. When I got the Mavic back and turned it over, the tip of one of the locking legs fell out of the motor. I believe these locking legs might be a weak point, and will be my main point of inspection from now on. By...

    Jessops UK Orders

    You are right: "whats the point of having a UK DJI department".. If the struggling retailers are going through the local UK rep, and the UK rep is unaware that Maplins are able to deliver, then he and the retailers are as useless as each other.

    EXP Settings

    Agreed, all adjustment settings should be available prior to flight. In practice however, Tripod mode is calibrated well so no real need to adjust. I suppose you could just hover in a safe place and height and make the adjustments that way.
