Home button on Iphone

[Surcharge]

Anyone find it hard to unlock the phone once its in the remote or am I doing something wrong...
also do you turn off anything with your phone while flying? like can someone still call while your in mid-flight?

can someone still call while your in mid-flight?

Yes -- unless you put your phone in airplane mode.

I've had the same issue with the home button. Just have to get in the habit of opening go before I put the phone in the cradle.

And yes put your phone in airplane mode. It's very unnerving when you get a call and your mavic is airborne.

I gave up on using my phone and bought a iPad mini on sale. This thing was fun to fly with the phone but now with a huge screen. Wow. 3 batteries is not enough. Lol

Yes, and it's even more difficult with an iPhone 7 and it's fake home button that requires skin contact.

Yes.

It does but I bought a mount that makes things a lot nicer to use.

Fits perfect with a 200mm 90 degree angled lightning cable. Do not like to use my Iphone 7 for above mentioned issue.

I was so bummed that my first-gen iPad mini is not compatible... Thought I had found a use for it!

Just enable assistive touch in the accessibility settings. Then when it's in the controller you can use the virtual home button along with the volume buttons if you program it. Also if you have iPhone 6s Plus or higher all you have to do it force touch the icon and it acts as home button. Program your home button to enable assistive touch easily and quick upon a triple click. Icon stays on top of every application and is movable. Icon looks like this.

It's the SKYREAT tablet holder. You can find some other tablet mounts here.

Assistive touch is great but the whole point is to be able to log in with your fingerprint if you lock your phone

You can also do this: click the home button then click it a 2nd time, the passcode screen will come up and you can just put in your passcode to unlock the phone.

Yeh but if the phone is attached to the RC it's hard to get to the home button.

It's DJI's nasty little surprise that comes with a $1500 invoice for a Mavic and accessories. I'm baffled as to DJI's ethical lapse in not being upfront about this issue or providing a workaround. Yes, you can open Go before launch, but losing the phone's functions is unacceptable, while the mount market for a 9" iPad Pro adapter is rather primitive. Most are big, clunky and rob the Mavic of its miniaturized portability in the field. DJI's trust factor has plummeted.
