    "Ultrasonic Module Error" since updating to 01.03.0400

    Ultrasound Module Error with my Mavic as well. First appeared around the time I upgraded to .500. Tried FW downgrade, factory reset, VPS & compass & IMU calibrations with no change in the error. In the process for RMA now, hopefully the turnaround time has improved along with retailer stocks.

    Sensor calibration

    Try disconnecting the external monitor. I did a successful calibration with my laptop in the kitchen when I first got the Mavic, but now when I went to do it after the .500 update with the laptop hooked up to two external monitors, it never advanced to the calibration stage. I had work to do at...

    Flying in Cold Weather

    The worst I've flown mine has been -3° C (~27° F) with 7 m/s (16 mph) wind. Zero issues, apart from my fingers freezing after 15 minutes, despite a pair of fingerless gloves. Good hover in steady wind, smooth gimbal operation, no jello or jitter. As a precaution I landed after a little under 20...

    ND filter stops required for Winter Snow

    Definitely. I was getting 1/6000 to 1/4000 shutter speeds when shooting in snow on a sunny afternoon with no filter. ND64 would put it in the right ballpark.

    Best add-on software from Apple App Store?

    I'll piggyback your post by asking if Litchi or some other 3rd party app allows for full-featured flight on an iPhone 5? I have an old banger iPhone 5 I use for Tomtom on the bike as well as action cam wifi remote duties. Would be convenient for Mavic use as well, since I'd rather save my main...

    Dumbest Question Ever Asked on this forum......

    Please, can we put this to bed already. It's okay to fly with the bubble on. DJI themselves have it flying with the bubble on in the main promo image on the Mavic page.

    Greetings from Finland + first flight video

    New pilot, new Mavic checking in. I finally took the plunge after watching my brother fly every generation of Phantom the past few years, once DJI came up with something that I could easily fit in a motorcycle tank bag. Got the unit yesterday, and today I was provided with some decent weather...

    Got this email this afternoon from DJI

    I ordered a Fly More Kit from a local retailer on January 24th, and they have no idea when they'll get stock. Another major retailer has their stock history online, and they've gotten on only 34 Mavics and 10 FM Kits in total since the beginning of the year, with probably 100+ orders in line...
