    Mavic Pro keeps auto-landing in GPS mode

    Hi all, Just got back from a trip to Bali where my Mavic Pro was playing up and driving me crazy! I was able to fly no problem for 2 days, and on the 3rd, taking off from the exact same spot, my drone kept trying to land straight after take-off.... After trying everything (firmware updates...

    Mavic Air vs Spark: GeoTag Data

    Hi, Can anyone confirm that the Air writes full geotags with decimal seconds in JPEG images? The Spark was a huge disappointment because the geotags that it writes are truncated which makes it almost useless for photogrammetry. (The Spark does not record decimal seconds in JPEG images.) From...

    GPS encounters disconnect, please reset and check connection

    So I've had the Mavic Pro Platinum for about ten days - very impressed with it (I also fly an Inspire 1 RAW and an Inspire 1 XT infrared, a Yuneec Typhoon and a Phantom 3 as a basic trainer). Two days ago, when I set up the drone to take off, the controller had this message: "SYS WARNING CHECK...

    High Data Usage on iPhone?

    Got my iPhone bill and went way over my data allowance. I'm assuming that this is a result of me connecting my iPhone to the controller. If this is the case is there a way to stop data usage without running into problems flying the drone? I'm assuming the GPS is streaming data through my...

    No GPS at all :(

    Hey guys, hope you all doing fine, I'm sadly not. Two days ago I was flying my new mavic like a charm, everything was working fine. Yesterday, when I was planning to fly it again, i turned on the controller, the app, and finally the mavic, and, no GPS signal despite I have 6-5 satellites in...

    Ipad time out ?

    I've been using my Ipad 9.7 since day one with few issues and great display. During my last two flights, the Ipad times out after a minute and goes to home screen. A problem if you're in a delicate place or there's other traffic. Seems like an Ipad issue, but looking for help. I'm pretty new...

    Mavic vs Spark Stability and Noise Test

    Hello Mavic-ers, I recently recorded spark and mavic next to eachother and tracked their movement in time with visual graphs. Here's the results: Could you predict how well each of them does? I have also tested the sound, but I can't really tell there's much difference, what do you think?

    Mavic GPS Receiver Location

    Hi everyone. I'm a newbie to drone flying, having obtained my first DJI last autumn. It was a P4. Since then, in the spring, I bought a P4Pro and more recently a Mavic. So as you can see, I'm pretty well bitten by the bug. I would add that it is the photography and videography aspects of drones...

I want to take the Mavic to a known survey point and correct the on board GPS coordinates to match the known survey point's coordinates.

    Hello guys After learning the hard way about the need for trackers and losing my Mavic over the White Cliffs, I looked into some different trackers to fit on my replacement Mavic. I found you can't actually get hold of the Marco Polo outside of the US, but found a pretty nifty alternative...

There are settings to save flight data somewhere in the app. Where is it stored and what can I do with it? How to extract them and...
