I have a Mavic charger which can charge all my 3 batteries and the remote control at the same time so it is theoretically strong enough. However the Mavic chargers output is 13 volts which is typical for 12 volt batteries to charge. The Crystal Sky battery charging hub requires min. 17.5 volt...

An update : The Note 8 is now quoted to have over 1200 nits of peak brightness ! As to the endless Android vs IOS discussions. Crystal Sky is an Android system to start with. I used Ipads and various Android products with my DJI products. I personally never had issues with any of them. With...

I have just read the specs of the soon to be release Samsung Note 8. Take this with a bit of question mark over it, but it was stated that the screen is quite visible in bright daylight and can produce over 1000 nits of screen brightness ! The screen is 6.3 inch. and of a top quality. Ok, it...

The Mavic dome has no optical quality. It distorts picture quality. You would not put a plastic "protection" around your DSLR camera for the same reason. It's a transport protection which needs to be taken off for taking video and photos if you value optical quality.

Yes, very nice videos indeed ! I also use a Sony A7R M2 for land based photo and video. Brilliant stabilisation and 42 megapixel sensor plus top class lenses. Nothing of that is remotely comparable to GoPros or Mavic cameras. The Mavic is a relatively cheap consumer product with very acceptable...

I agree. I sort of kept the P3 by giving it to my son in law . We fly often together and compare footage. Under various conditions the P3 seems to have an edge over the Mavic when it comes to photos. The only difference is, and that's why I don't regret going for the Mavic, he turns up with a...

If there is an optimum setting for the Mavic camera it would be extremely useful if that would the default setting when the Mavic is switched on. Also do not expect professional miracles from such a small sensor camera. The Mavic camera is a cheap thing comparable to certain GoPros. For real...

Environmental pollution. The Mavic is such a nice quiet bird. No way I will ever use any of those. Possibly very attractive to people who rip the interior of their bike or car exhausts out to increase the noise to 100 dB while loosing engine efficiency. Very good way to annoy crowds you want to...

Note 4 and Xiaomi MiMax both no problems.

Analyzing all the posts it seems to be that the Samsung S7 and Android Nougat are mentioned quite too often. Very likely to be avoided especially in combination. The S7 seems to be the only Samsung Android device not all but many owners complain about in other posts as well. Its a great...

How interesting that you say that the Mavic and then very likely the rest of the DJI drones are Android based devices. That never occurred to me. So why is it then that as you suggested their best programmers focus more on IOS ? How about making Android better and catch up with IOS? 1/3 of...

When I ordered the K1 3 weeks ago it came with Android 6. This hardware has a problem with Android 7 when it comes to the DJI software. Other tablets do not as far as I know. Hope NVIDIA comes up with a patch for Android 7. It might be the DJI software though. The K1 is a nice tablet to have. I...

There is another aspect. I am using Android for many good reasons but I have used Apple for a long time as well. The main issue I personally think is that Apple produces high spec hardware only. Very fast processors , good amounts of ram. Good screens. Android is an operation system, nothing...

You can buy them @ flytron.com in the UK. I use them on a regular basis with Velcro on the Mavic or a P3 . They are about 2cm by 2cm , very light, built in usb rechargable battery. These are much brighter than the Mavic lights and make the quad very visible from long distance if desired...

There is not much around for DJI. If you go into Google Playstore and type in DJI it gives you all available options. There is one app called DJI Ultimate Flight V3. I do have this app and it has virtual walls you can draw on your map and has as many functions as Litchi , I should say more than...
