    Flying with JUST Mavic Pro Controller: Altitude and Distance LIMITED

    Okay, I always fly my Mavic Pro with both controller and tablet(K1 Shield). Recently, I was at a favorite location--one I have flown without restrictions many times--when I realized I had forgotten my USB cable. I couldn't connect controller to tablet. Okay, no big deal. I would just fly with...

    Connecting Mavic Controller to Mac for Simulator ?

    Any idea how to do it? I checked in the forum and over internet, but i did not find any succesful case. An other option is the impressive "DJI flifgt simulator". It seems that this simulator works with our controller. But also impossible to get it for now.

    Controller works well with a different drone?

    Hi guys, I crashed my Mavic Pro and now I'm getting a second hand one. This time, I'll only buy the drone without the control or battery, as I have everything from the Fly More Combo. I wonder if the controller of my crashed drone will work well with the second hand drone? I haven't heard from...

    Magic Air controller resetting connection

    Hey everyone, I am having an issue where when I connect the controller via USB directly to the drone, the next time I got to use it, I have to re-connect via USB. It doesn't seem to be able to connect via wireless. Anyone else having this problem.

    A question about controller differences - gps

    All: I'm just ramping up - have a mavic air coming and I see that it does not support the follow-me mode - so I'm going to use autopilot for that. I'm trying to understand why and think I've got it figured out. Can anyone confirm or deny that the mavic pro and spark have a gps in the remote...

    Mavic Pro Controller Charging Incredibly Long

    I'm heading out for a 30 day motorcycle trip with the Mavic Pro. The portable charger for the flight battery works fine with the cigarette plug in on the bike but how do I charge the controller? At home, with a standard outlet, a controller can take up to 5 hours to recharge when starting at...

    Need help. Mavic Pro grounded.

    I’ve had my Mavic for over a year now with zero problems. As I live in Canada, the little bugger stays inside most of the winter. When I put it away late in the fall, I removed and discharged all the batteries, and put it away in a nice case I use. Nicer weather now, so I pulled it out...

    Controller Case for $5

    This just came in the mail today (took about a week from China). It's a hard case for your controller, and you can leave the flight sticks in. They should have included a case for the controller when we bought it... but this works well. Highly recommended. Portable Storage Case Bag for DJI...

    Read Logs from RC

    I downloaded 26 log files from the RC of my mavic (no logs available from the app). The drone is lost, I'm trying to decrypt the last position from these files but I don't know how. Someone can help me?

    Controller battery level after extended storage

    I have to confess that my Mavic Pro hasn't been out of its case since last fall. Today, I decided to recharge the batteries and update the software in preparation for some spring flying. I checked the flight batteries and they were still at 3 bars as expected with the automatic discharged...

    Should I update from 01.03.0800 to the lastest firmware? - New Mavic, New Pilot

    Hello everyone! I just got my Mavic and haven't flown it yet. I already activated it and was wondering if I should update from 01.03.0800 (out of the box) to the latest firmware or just leave it as it is. What would be the pros and cons of my current firmware vs the latest? I'm on iOS (iPhone...

    Custom Buttons - What’s your setup?

    Hello, everyone. New drone user here and the Air is my first. Just curious as I get more experienced...how do you have your custom buttons on the controller configured? I’m wondering if there are some workflows out there that I should be exploring to make the flying experience better. Right now...

    iPhone 8 Plus in Otterbox Symmetry Case

    So...just got my Mavic Air today, and realized that the iPhone 8 Plus in an Otterbox Symmetry case doesn't fit the Mavic controller (issues: the cable won't fit into the stand-off of the case, and the case won't physically fit.) So, there are options. The first being "don't use a case on my...

    iPad Mount for Air Controller

    Can anyone recommend a good iPad mount for the new Mavic Air controller? The current Mavmount that fits the Pro and Spark controllers does not fit the Air controller because of the new joystick storage area. Looking to use an iPad Mini with it. I don’t like the idea of squeezing the iPad between...

    Charging Magic Air Controller

    Has anyone charged the Magic Air controller yet? Despite what's included in the fly more combo i can't seem to find the right cable or connector. I don't want to force it.

    Disconnected?

    Hi, My Mavic Pro RC has a hard time connecting with my Android devices. It seems random when I plug it in whether Android will offer to connect it to the app, and then whether the app (DJI 4+ and Litchi) will show "connected". Is this usual? I wonder if I have a bum controller...?

    My Controller is Charging My Phone?

    Hi, The controller on my Mavic Pro seems to be charging my phone? When I plug it in to my Nexus 7 tablet (micro USB) or my Pixel 2 phone (USB C) the device shows the charging symbol, and the battery on my controller goes down faster than my drone... Is this normal behavior? Is there anything...

    Controller Calibration Doesn't Fix False Input on Left Stick

    Hi Guys, For as long as I've had my Mavic I've had an issue where it would slowly yaw right when flying. I have just recently realized that it is probably the controller. When I go to calibrate controller, it always shows a 7 to 8% offset to the right which controls my yaw. I can do any...
