    Remote control battery level

    This was probably caused by external RF interferences. And if this was yesterday, then it may have been due to the solar storm that we're currently experiencing. Space weather and regular weather can affect the quality of RF signals, even things like humidity and air pressure can affect long...

    Drilling Holes In Camera Cover

    You can 100% run the drone with the guard on. Especially have it flying with the guard on. If you're really concerned about it then you can buy the guards that are solid on the sides and then have a cut out on the front. Not a DJI product but readily available. Will find one and attach a link.

    Wider props?

    Carbon Fibre props are quieter?? Not sure but they are stronger and flex less. A lot of buffeting and flex happens at the tip of the blade, because it is travelling fastest. Allowing props to bend slightly means that they are better able to deal with the buffeting and the variations in pressure...

    Longer rc cable?

    If you rotate your phone so that your USB slot on your phone is facing down, you should then be able to use a stand USB - micro USB cable to connect to the USB port on the bottom of the controller. Just ignore the USB cable in the side of the controller, or remove it. Also make sure you're using...

    Mavic underside hot?

    Just checked the forum and was shocked to see the emotional rollercoaster you guys went on last night. So glad you made up. Like the calming sunset photo to ease the situation. [emoji39]

    Mavic underside hot?

    By gimbal guard I mean the Perspex bubble that sits around the outside of the gimbal.

    Mavic underside hot?

    Yes, but you can run it with the gimbal guard on, which will restrict airflow.

    Mavic underside hot?

    Whenever you've got your Mavic turn on, particularly if your only bench running it and not flying, is to remove the gimbal guard and clamp. It helps the fan move the air and cool the electronics.

    Mavic Flying Indoor

    I can't believe that you were shocked that it attempted to get to 30m altitude for return home, seeings that what you set it to. In the future if you want to fly it indoors , I recommend changing your low battery action to land instead of RTH.

    New to Mavic, not to DJI, few simple questions

    1) not come across this issue so far. Flown a couple of places and only used 30% of the battery, gone some where else and used another 30-40% from the same battery without any issues. Although this could possibly become an issue as batteries start to age and deteriorate. 2) the compass cal on...

    pickpocket

    How bloody obvious we're they being. Bit weird the bloke putting a bottle down, surprised you didn't have a word for littering!! The bloody cheek of some people is unbelievable. Personally I try to fly where there is no one else around, although that often means missing out on some good footage.

    Cases?????

    I don't get all these hard pelican cases that everyone it getting to carry their Mavic around in. I personally brought a small compact drone so that I could carry it everywhere with ease. I've got a hard case for storage, or for flying, but for everyday I've got these small cases so that the...
