I was going to comment on the same point - waypoints are not accurate enough. As a tip - I waypointed to fly the center of my long driveway but failed because sometimes it would fly the edges instead. What I did learn is that accuracy seems to vary significantly based on how many satellites it...

I do like the response by @Phantomrain.org. The art of the interaction is to apologize then listen carefully. FWIW, I have a ranch and drone and cattle and feral hogs. I know many farmers around me who would love to have the benefit of someone flying over their crops and reporting if or when...

Your insight is exactly what I need. I know what you mean by batteries for anyone who is more than a casual hobbyist. The reason I have M1P is because I bought it when M1P first came out - Jan 2017. For the first 6 months I was flying daily to check my ranch, then it developed gimbal issues...

DroneyDave: you are full of all sorts of information! I ordered the cable. Yeah, that's the type of holder I was thinking of and the shade as well. Will take a closer look in a couple of days. Thanks. Great tip on the power, but I've only got two batteries, so the remote rarely goes below 50%.

Ok, I just learned that the bottom of the Mavic remote has a USB-A connection point. I've never used it. That means I need USB-A to USB-C cable. Right? How about a holding device? Any recommendations?

My wife just got an Apple iPad Air 4 for her birthday. Happy bday to her ... happy bday to me! I am hoping to use it to fly my Mavic 1 Pro, but I can't figure out what cable I need. The Apple uses USB-C, but the Mavic controller uses "USB Type C" ??? Obviously there is a difference because I...

I also got set full set of TACO RC. Here in the Texas sun, I find the ND8 works best, so they are on almost all of the time. Also tried ND4. Easy on and off and gimbal initialization is good. I cannot tell a difference in image sharpness between bare lens and lens w/ filter. I like the fact...

I have been following the firmware updates and have never noticed a change except in color quality, so do not fret over versions. My experience is that sharpness was great from the start. Then I bought some ND filters and put one on. The image was blurred, so I tried a different filter and...

Marks are from crashes; as in upside down when it hits the ground. :eek: One was operator error when I was flying fast backwards and didn't give it enough time to stop motion. The others were an issue with the Mavic itself -- honest!

Even as a two-toned look, it looks much better than my batteries with propeller marks across the tops.

Interesting; I had not seen those. I bought a set of ND filters that fits on the front of the camera lens, plus a separate gimbal protector/shade that is fully open in the center. If I understand the photo above, those will restrict air into the cooling fan behind the gimbal, just like the...

Thanks. I misunderstood. I thought "iPad 2" meant the same thing as "iPad Mini 2". Other than my iPhone, I am not very familiar with Apple products and saw this sitting in a drawer, so I thought I would give it a try.

I had read here in the forum that the iPad 2 could be used with my Mavic. My iPad: iPad 2 (Wi-Fi) [Model A1395] When I try to download and install DJI GO 4 from the App store, I get a message that reads: "Cannot Download" "This app is not compatible with your device." Am I...

I just happened across this thread. When I saw the pic of the open body, I immediately noticed a variance between the two front retaining clips. See my attached pic. The upper one is bent up, indicating damage. It is possible this happened when you removed the top or the factory person did...

I cannot get my Mavic's vision system to work. Background: The Mavic crashed itself into the side of a sheet metal building. I have the video and logs to prove that. It flew left so to counter that I was joy-sticking it to the right. It broke it's gimbal plate. I replaced that. Current...
