@Meta4 Thanks so much for the reply, not only to this thread but to so many posts I've been following. You seem to have a wealth of experience. Yes, the drone will always be pretty close, but being new to droning-from-a-boat, I guess I'm a bit nervous. I was looking for a quick way to bring...

This weekend will be my first time taking the MA out on the boat. I want to do a few test runs using Follow Me and Active Track to see how each mode reacts. What I'm looking for is the quickest and easiest way to bring the drone back at the end of each run. My thought process is that once I...

Thanks for the info. Will definitely check this out. In another thread, I was asking how fast my MA would go. Considering my boat can do 62, I was wondering what the upper limit of the drone was. I have a better feel for it now.

Wow, that's interesting. How much "extra speed" would this give us?

I'm always outside and initially at the same location which was my yard. I've been taking more trips to other places. The first few times was within about 6 feet from my car but I quickly learned that doesn't work. I have yet to start it up and not have to recalibrate.

Actually that's a pretty good idea. I now have a much better understanding of using RTH from a boat. My reasoning was, when I'm done making a run, either just shadowing the boat or tracking people tubing from my boat, have the ability to then set the RTH to the controller location to get the...

Here is the response from DJI support: We are sorry to hear about the issue you are having with using the GPS with your phone. This is certainly not the experience we want for you. We understand how difficult it is to deal with this issue, please note that this is due to the weak signal of...

I opened a support case with DJI and just received this response: We are sorry to hear about the issue you are having with using the GPS with your phone. This is certainly not the experience we want for you. We understand how difficult it is to deal with this issue, please note that this is...

Is it normal to have to recalibrate the compass every time I go out to fly? My Mavic Air will sit idle for anywhere between a week to 3-4 weeks between outings. Every time I fire it up I have to recalibrate.

Thanks again @Meta4. After doing a ton of searches here, I found a thread where you were talking about the bug where we get the message about GPS signal is weak. I tested this today in a empty soccer field near me and indeed have the same issue on my iPhone 8 Plus running iOS 13.3.1 connected...

Oh wow, thanks so much @Meta4. You may have just saved my drone from drowning. I had assumed that setting the location to the controller would be dynamic and it would be constantly updated. Next question would be can this be changed while the drone is in flight? I thought I read somewhere...

Relatively new drone pilot, as I got my Air back in November. Have a pretty good feel for flying it now and am finally ready to fly it from my boat. I've practiced hand launching and retrieval on land so I'm hoping there won't be any surprises. So many great threads here covering drones and...

Hello All, Bought myself a Mavic Air for my BD in November and have been having a blast playing with it. I've become pretty comfortable flying it and learning what the different settings do. Can't believe I waited so long to buy a drone! I've been pouring through the threads here and can tell...
