I've sent you a PM :) Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots

Oh by-the-way... the silly error was to have the lens pointing down and landing on uneven stone. When the Mavic lands it 'pauses and moves' so scraped the floor Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots

Hi Everyone, I've managed to scratch my lens glass on a silly error when landing :( - I have DJI refresh but it seems a waste of '1 strike' so was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for a part or any other ideas? Thanks, AlR Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots

Let me see if I can source a 6db antenna easily - Amazon unfortunately don't always shop to Hong Kong; but eBay is my friend if not :) I'm out-of-my depth when it comes to antennas; so it's definitely a learning experience for me. I have for, instance some 6db antenna's with the same connector...

I'll have to have a think of a suitable area - I might try from ground level at the yacht club at causeway bay and head towards happy valley/Aberdeen direction. From a roof top might be tricky, but I saw some footage from the peak which might be an option. From an over water perspective; I'll...

To be honest - the stock Mavic really doesn't need modding for 90+ pct of its use - but it's always nice to push these limits for fun. I didn't use Jake to do the mod as being in Hong Kong didn't want the hassle of ordering a spare controller then sending it to the US and back; so watching some...

Not sure - I'll try Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots

You can't use the old Mavic antennas once your modded the controller, but you could certainly try other types attached to the external connectors - I'm not an antenna whiz by any stretch of imagination but if you've got any suggestions on types of antenna to try; happy to experiment Sent from...

What I can do (although not wholly scientific as two different controllers) is do an urban route (we have lots of tall buildings in Hong Kong) with both the normal controller and the modded MaxxUav controller. I would imagine that the MaxxUav might be less affective as its more directional...

Hi, No - I bought a second controller off eBay from Thunder-drones which arrived (brand new) I live in Hong Kong so thought it would be easy to get a spare controller from the DJI store but unfortunately they won't sell them as separate items - so went the eBay route. I'll do some full tests...

Hi All, Well I received my Maxx UAV antenna and cracked open the Mavic controller tonight. I'm happy to report that the modification is relatively easy if you don't rush - and have just tested the Mavic and flew over 3km away with 3 bars showing on the meter - just a quick test to make sure it...

Dear Logger, Thank you very much for your response. I'm giving the waypoint changes a go now :) I'll also give the video format change a try too. Many thanks! AlR Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots

Hi Everyone, I purchased Litchi and so far I'm very pleased with the results. I have a couple of questions that someone may have the answers too? I) in waypoint mode - is there anyway to set the Mavic to hover for a period of time? Ii) when I tap on the auto focus box - it is slightly soft...

I've ordered mine and a spare Mavic controller- I'll let everyone know how I get on once it arrives... :) Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots

Hi All, I haven't taken a battery apart yet and started any tests - but before I do, does anyone have the pinout details? Thanks, AlR Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots
