I hit RTH once when my Mavic was within maybe 15 feet and about 10 feet high, just to see what would happen. As I recall it did not go up to 20 meters but stayed at altitude and moved over the take-off point and then landed. I also have noted that its locating of the home-point may not be very...

Get your certificate and fly legally. We will all be better off. Class G airspace under 400 feet unless you have a waiver. Ya Ya 400 feet above a structure too.

I also made my own for my NVIDIA shield. I just glued two black poster board pieces together, cut pieces after a few calculations, and used Gorilla tape to fasten them to the NVIDIA case lid on one side. The other side has masking tape that allows me to remove it from the tablet body and...

It would allow anyone with some sort of device to query the software from a distance I guess - yet another product for someone to create. Federal Government regulations already require a "license plate" on your drone the day you get it, if it weighs more than 0.55 pounds on take-off. The...

I think the best way to proceed is to visit the site and use the drone to determine the optimum path and any obstacles - go up until your image is above surrounding buildings, or determine the radius you can use without interference. Once more the DJI Waypoint app would work here. Fly the drone...

So if you have access to the roof, why not take off from there and do a POI mode in DJIGO4? Once engaged you can move it in and out and up and down and change the speed of rotation.

Batelle has already created a radio wave "gun" capable of disrupting communications between the drone and its controller. For Mavic - does it scramble the computer to the point that GPS is lost and also home point? Maybe.

I am a RE broker in charge and just had an update course where they explained you can have a video camera in your house while it is being shown, to monitor the people if you want without telling them, but you can not have audio recording! So drones, which have no audio, would not be invading...

Just watched the video explaining more about how they work. A two man team looks like a great way to do photography - except for the apparent jumpy movement seen when shooting video. The pilot moves the drone as usual, in line of sight, with feedback from the person wearing goggles (PWG?)and...

I I spent weeks blaming the drone for similar problems, then changed mobile devices from Samsung tab to iPhone and had no problems at all. Now I'm using the Nvidia Shield. Strange you are having problems using an iphone. My conclusion was the data volume was just too much for my tablet...

There are three crew members identified in 107 - The Pilot in Command, the Person Manipulating the Controls, and the Visual Observer. When by yourself you are doing all three jobs. When there is a crew, the FAA Certified person is the Pilot in Command and has100% responsibility for crew...

UPDATE! I borrowed an Iphone 6 today and used it with my controller instead of my Samsung Galaxy, and had no transmission/communication problems at all. Using 4.07 app and the .400 firmware. During 15 minute flight up to 85 meters and a couple RTH and a POI there was no GPS lost, no bad video...

I have used by LG phone and then my Samsung Galaxy Tab and had continuous problems - even video that was mostly noise. (Search "mavic now useless" for more details) I borrowed an Iphone 6 today and used it with my controller instead of my Samsung Galaxy, and had no transmission/communication...

UPDATE! My number 3 above seems to be the answer. I borrowed an Iphone 6 today and used it with my controller instead of my Samsung Galaxy, and had no transmission/communication problems at all. Only a radio interference warning for some reason before I took off and it went away within...

UPDATE! I borrowed an Iphone 6 today and used it with my controller instead of my Samsung Galaxy, and had no transmission/communication problems at all. Only a radio interference warning for some reason before I took off and it went away within seconds. Also it said calibrate compass on...
