    Remote displaying 'connecting' but not connecting to Mavic

    Hey to all fellow Mavic pilots, Total newbie here so please bare with me! I've had my Mavic for a week and taken it up a couple of times, updated my firmware so that it displayed the new aeroplane mode (I get it's not called this) and when I went to take it out again the same day there was no...

    Controller screen v phone screen

    Still not flown my new Mavic but if the range of flying with phone wi fi is max 80m and controller flying is circa 4.3km, does one fly by controller for distances beyond 80 metres and blindly operate camera button, or can one still see what camera sees at these distances?

    Crash Analysis ATTI Drift - Response Time

    Hello guys, Few weeks ago, I unfortunately crashed my Mavic Pro in th middle of the beautiful Taroko Gorges in Taiwan. The mission was launched a bit fast and was therefore a bit risky but space and visibility where OK, wind also OK. I used the ActiveTrack mode. Around 1.20min on the video...

    Controller won't boot

    After my frustrations with the 3DR Solo I just purchased the MP. Checked this forum to anticipate problems, viewed all the YouTube videos, downloaded the User Guide prior to purchase. Paid my local distributor to ensure firmware, App, registration with DJI and confirm warranty was received and...

    Remote Controller Screen Locked Up Mid-Flight - still had full control...

    I was out flying today at a distance of approximately 1,500ft away, at an altitude of approx 160ft high, when I started getting unresponsive video on my Nexus 6P. I've seen this before, and it is usually followed by the DJI GO 4 app crashing or locking up. Sure enough, it locked up. I hit RTH...

    Mavic Pro perpetually "Connecting"

    Hi all, First of all let me say I think this quad is amazing, or was when it was working. I received it last week and all was well. Firmware updated before first use through the DJI Go 4 app on a Samsung Galaxy S7 edge. Everything set up and flying perfectly. I flew it twice the first day and...

    Kidnapping a Mavic?

    With all of these stories on these forums about Mavic fly-aways, I got to thinking: How difficult would it be for someone to "kidnap" a Mavic in-flight by sending signals to someone else's Mavic? Do all of our Mavics operate on slightly different frequency channels? When you buy a Mavic and...

    Is my controller broken?

    Hey! I have barely even tried my mavic and the controller fan is making a lot of noise, is this just for me or is it normal? Please watch:

    Don't drop your controller!

    Pretty obvious, but be careful with your Mavic Pro controller. I was using a neck strap connected to a aftermarket device placed between the phone and controller. I usually keep my hands on the controller at all times, but this time I bent down to replace the Mavic battery and the controller...

    Suggested Controller Settings?

    Anyone have any recommendations on suggested controller settings when using the DJI smartphone app for the Mavic? My own setup is pretty basic. I just use the default settings on the DJI app and check to make sure that the "Return-to-Home" altitude is set high enough (usually 85 m) so that it...

    Question about using an iPad Mini with the Mavic controller

    Appears lots of people are using iPad Minis rather than iPhones with their Mavic controllers because of the problem with lots of iPhone battery drain. I was seriously thinking of getting an iPad Mini myself for this reason, but just thought of something. In order for the DJI App to display a...

    Modification Tip - Using iPad mini in Controller

    This should work for any iPad mini: Like so many others, my iPad mini was tough to get in and out of my controller and all I have on it is a carbon fiber skin. I decided to brave it even though my Mavic was only a few hours old, and solve the problem. I took the rubber off the bottom side of...

    iPad Mini or iPod Touch?

    Hello.. I am wondering about buying a device just for my Mavic. Wondering if any of you out there currently uses an iPod Touch tethered to their phone, and/or an iPad Mini with cellular connectivity or tethered as well, I guess. What are the drawbacks in using these devices vs your iPhone? Do...

    Mavic Controller Not Connecting to DJI App

    I just got my Mavic Pro and the controller is fully charged along with the drone itself. I download the DJI Go 4 app and login to my profile, but when I connect to any iOS device (I have tried 3 - all with the app running and logged in) using lightning or even USB, nothing happens - does not say...

    Controller battery runs down quickly

    Hi all The battery on my Controller seems to run down very quickly and seems to need to be recharged after only 2-3 flights. (Yet on the forums most people say they get about 6 full flights from 1 charge) Anyone else experienced a similar issue, or know of a solution please?

    Is yours detachable??

    Just want to confirm what variant is your controller. The "pre-production" models that were sent to Casey Nutsack and NFiJustine had removable controller sticks. Most users have reported that there sticks are NOT removable. Majority of these users had the 'fly-less' combo. A recent user just...
