Hi Guys I had a flight today which almost resulted in a loss due to rapid and unexpected battery power drop. I looked at the flight data in Airdata UAV and see the battery has been recharged 33 times... It also showed deviations in cell 3 although all three dials are still in the green zone...

That's right, post some of your footage - never been to Auz, would like to see some drone shots :-)

Your welcome, I must try and post more :-)

Hi James, I live in Yzerfontein, along the West Coast of South Africa :-)

Thanks Thomas I really appreciate the comment

OK - here is what I deduce from repeating the same flight, but the weather conditions were perfect with zero wind speed. The mission completed without any interruptions and all WP actions worked as planned. On the day I had the failed mission the wind speed (according to Air Data) was 18 km/hr...

Yes I've done everything I can think of to ensure the usual (posted) issues are eliminated. It only leaves me with software issue or weather conditions or hardware ?. I ran a test mission using the same settings on a local short run, and it worked perfectly and completed. I will try to repeat...

Any ideas why this should happen? I have waypoint actions set up to stop recording, tilt camera 90, take photo, stay for 2 secs, start recording. This works perfectly for most of the flight but the MA stops on the return flight at WP 14 out of 21 WP’s. I have turned off all sensors and the...

The best thing to do is climb to a higher altitude immediately, as the birds cannot ascend vertically, then get the MP2 home fast as you can. I sometime get a similar situation living on the W Coast with seagulls or Black Oystercatchers. The front sensors usually pause the MA. I have thought...

Just a footnote to my original post ..... After many unsuccessful (and frustrating) attempts to calibrate the MA compass at various locations (mountains, coast etc) I resorted in taking the MA to the DJI store in Cape Town, where the staff were also unable to calibrate it. I was told that there...

Table Mountain is a National Park and therefore off limits for drones. Also check the web for the restricted zones close to the CT airport. I remember seeing it extends into CT city area, and also there are a lot of chartered light airplanes and choppers flying around the harbour area and along...

I had exactly the same issue, and found that if I traveled more than 50 km from home (where I did eventually manage to calibrate) it would prompt me for a calibration. I understand this is expected and necessary, but most times I couldn't get it to accept a calibration no matter how many times I...

Just got back into home territory and once again cannot calibrate from a beach location. Didn't succeed with Litchi either, so beginning to think it's the MA. It shouldn't be this difficult. And of course another opportunity to fly from a perfect location is missed. Will now follow up with DJI

I’ve seen far too many posts regarding the frustration of wanting to fly but unable to, due to persistent compass calibration requests by the DGI Go 4 app. I also have received this and it seems to coincide with traveling some distance from the previous location where a flight was successful...
