Warning:
Probably as a result of the latest firmware, the Autopilot app is NOT safe to use with the Mavic Pro!
Several people have reported the same problems. When you engage your flight on Autopilot, the Mavic will hover and move about very slowly, twitching, as if its fighting with itself or having a seizure. It will not perform the missions assigned to it.
In my case, yesterday as I tested this, the Mavic suddenly lost control as if one of the motors disengaged, and twirled in mid-air twice. I was sure it was gonna crash. Thankfully, and amazingly, the drone recovered with only a few feet of altitude loss and regained its hover, after which I engaged S mode and brought the drone back.
I advice against using Autopilot 3.9 with the latest Mavic firmware (.0500) until Hangar issues an update. It might work for you, but its not worth risking your drone crashing just to find out.
