    Battery overcurrent errors in sport mode

    I saw this with Latest firmware .0400 and a new battery with only 10 cycles. It was a cool day 58F, I had initiated full forward an altitude for about 5 to 10secs.. Sent from my iPad using MavicPilots

    Battery overcurrent errors in sport mode

    Based on my experience , this is not true. I had this happen , the battery had only around 10 charge cycles. Sent from my iPad using MavicPilots

    Mavic Destroyed - How can I get my log analyzed?

    Did you have 'RTH Obstacle Checking' set under advanced settings of the visual navigation setting .. if not , RTH would have simply risen to the rth altitude and flown directly into the cliffs , which seems to be what occurred. So I suspect this setting was off. Sent from my iPad using...

    Hat Tip to DJI: A Message From An Impressed Engineer

    Just to clarify. This is the setting to disable to avoid the issue IMG_1669 by znuttyone posted Feb 25, 2017 at 8:22 AM You do not need to disable OA entirety

    Hat Tip to DJI: A Message From An Impressed Engineer

    Just want to clarify the settings that impact rth and OA .. You do not need to disable OA entirely if you want to avoid the RTH OA issue where it falsely detects the sun as an obstacle when in RTH mode. You simply need the 'RTH obstacle check' setting disabled , i.e., OA can still be on for...

    Another option is just to through it in sport mode , OA gets disabled that way and you can fly it straight back with camera facing ..or you can simply jump to the settings and turn it off, it takes immediate effect in both dji go and litchi

    Hat Tip to DJI: A Message From An Impressed Engineer

    I was seen the same, in most cases where I am above trees or obstacles , I fly with OA off, and always have the rth obstacle check setting disabiled now with an RTH altitude set above any obstacles in flight path

    Hat Tip to DJI: A Message From An Impressed Engineer

    Was not a single observations for me, I and repeat the conditions and see it every time (OA triggers increase in altitude past rth altitude when rth flight path is into the sun and sun is low on horizon with .400 firmware) try it ..

    Mavic Files - Location and Types

    Have you tried Healthdrones.com. If you use Litchi it will automatically upload the flight record, or if you primarily use DJI Go, download the HD Sycn app to your phone/ipad/tablet and it will pull and sync the data from there. BTW.. this means DJI GO is storing the flight records on the...

    Hat Tip to DJI: A Message From An Impressed Engineer

    this has not been my experience nor the experience of others.. see Litchi locked me out, crashed! If anyone wants to duplicate the conditions to see this behavior, here are the steps. Perform this test when the Sun is low on the horizon , 2 hours before sunset or less will do. Steps 1- Set...

    Don't get overconfident

    Thanks for the warning.. also good to put the ego in check.. I got a bit brave flying under a large fallen tree down a creek at the bottom of a water fall. When i came up, I had not quite cleared the tree, luckily i just kissed it with one propeller and moved it forward pretty quickly.. in the...

    Actual max speeds for Mavic

    Mavic : 43mph, P4:50mph

    Exceeded Max Altitude on RTH

    Correct. 1640ft, 500M is for sure the max that DJI allows the AC to go and you cannot exceed it. Tested this with P4 and Mavic. if you set this to 200M.. then you cannot fly above it....but if "RTH Obstacle Check" is set, then it seems this setting will override the value you put in Max...

    Litchi confused

    I would use DJI Assistant and re-calibrate the sensors. The error is coming from the Mavic not Litchi.
