    Indoor Flying Altitude Limit is 13 feet AGL

    As in the two ultrasonic sensors? How do you disable them? Gaff tape?

    Indoor Flying Altitude Limit is 13 feet AGL

    I had not flown indoors in a while. I was asked to fly over some RV's parked in a large hanger building. No GPS and the Mav in Atti. When I take off I get the warning NO GPS Altitude limit set. So it puts that limit at 13 feet. The ceiling in the hanger is about 50 feet. The RV's are about 8...

    Neighbourhood busy bodies

    We have our past times. They have theirs. Why not come together and put a flag on the drone? You have to watch between 1-2 seconds for the hook shot to pass our Inspire LOL. #Dronegolf #Wehavetheforcetocontrol #Wewillpunishyou #STNG #borg

    Flying in hot weather

    Nah go for it. Your tab may overheat. I had an Ipad Mini 2 shutdown once but it was outside all day in 90 plus temps.

    West Florida Coast with 2.5k and Pola

    I shot this hi rise last week in the morning and sunset in Southwest Florida. You can see both sides lit up pretty good. This is some of the first stuff I did with Normal color and +1 sharpness value. (To stop DJI noise reduction in 0 setting). It's 2.5 K graded to 1080p in Adobe. I did just a...

    My Mavic Was Shot Out of the Sky

    The sad thing, IMHO, is that even if you get a judgement against the guy, getting money from him if he just ignores it, may be difficult other than a lien on his property. The only other thing is charges that result in him paying a fine.

    Dji go4 app and auto focus

    Good thought need to check, but it does do that slight bump in beep when I push it. Need to figure out how to stay in the mode where the green box disappears after a few secs. That seemed to stop the random auto focus when the Mavic decided on it's own the scene changed enough to warrant auto...

    Dji go4 app and auto focus

    So I am having the same issue with AF while recording. I set AFC off as suggested but the problem remains. I have AF assigned to one of the buttons on the controller and that does work. But the AF box stays on the screen no matter how I set AFC and if the scene changes AF is automatically...

    My Mavic flew off today in the NV wilderness

    Woah, I never thought you'd find it. I cringed as it went back towards the bluff. That looks like some serious rock climbing to get up there. And even then the odds of finding it after all this time in all those cliffs and overhangs. But going back to all the experts who analyzed your logs, it...

    DIY rear compass cabling fix

    I had the same concerns. Mine was doing compass redundancy switch in ALL modes on all most all flights. Never had it jump into ATTI which is more related to low quality GPS right? You could also just open up an RMA. They should have this as a known manufacture defect of early builds as it's well...

    Watercolour no more.

    That is really good information and analysis. Nowhere before have I seen that DJI is introducing noise reduction into a sharpness setting. Almost every other camera I've ever encountered or TV for that matter, simply artificially increased detail with the sharpening setting and reducing it to...

    DIY rear compass cabling fix

    This was my reading before any fix, I was getting close to 600 P2P on MagZ.Back. Here's the flight: Airdata UAV - Flight Data Analysis for Drones

    DIY rear compass cabling fix

    If you scan through this topic there is a good step by step. Basically download the free app, you don't need the Datconv app just the CsvView, Load DJI Assistant 2, connect Mav, look at flight logs, copy the one you want to your computer. Open CsvView, open the DAT file in CsvView, click in the...
