    Crystal Sky does not work with Mavic 2 Pro

    Alas, as stated above, I returned the CS and ordered a new one. The new one arrived today. After connecting to the remote it fires up and works perfectly. No need for debugging mode between MP and CS 7.85. As stated in another thread, I am a bit concerned how crunched the usb wire is between...

    Crystal Sky does not work with Mavic 2 Pro

    Thanks. I wonder where in the UI I might find this adjustment.

    Crystal Sky does not work with Mavic 2 Pro

    Good info, thanks. The update did not fix the connection issue. I’m exchanging it in the hopes it is defective. Watch this space.

    Crystal Sky does not work with Mavic 2 Pro

    I have a Mavic Platinum and a CrystalSky 7.85. I also have a P4. The CS and P4 connect and work fine together with the DJI mount. However, the MP and CS do not connect with the DJI mount for that product. CS does connect to MP with just a regular USB cable plugged in the side of CS.

    Hand catch chain

    What if the chain or string (tether?) was secured in a loop? Each end secured to the two fasteners on the rear bottom. Or even the inside of two or more prop arms?

    Hand catch chain

    Has anyone tried securing a 24” pull chain (like one for a ceiling light) from their Mavic Pro for safe catching as in from the stern of a boat? I’d think the catcher could grasp the chain and the pilot could then safely cut power to the motors.

    Low noise propeller

    Fragile? Maybe, but under what circumstance? They spin through the air. They’re fine. And I say noticeably quieter. I just got a second pair for Christmas and won’t fly with any other prop.

    Any improvement on the video quality of Mavic Pro Platinum over the Mavic Pro?

    Our Samsung is a 8500. I flew yesterday at 1080/30fps and goggles and iPhone was completely smooth. I guess the Mavic is just overloading iOS with data at 60 FPS. Next, I’ll fly at 4K and 30fps...see what we get. F

    Any improvement on the video quality of Mavic Pro Platinum over the Mavic Pro?

    Interesting reply. These videos that I shot skip and jutter on the iPhone or iPad while recording and play back with the same issue. Mostly when the Mavic is panning a scene. Then, when downloading and playing back on a nice Samsung 4K TV they are much smoother. I say "much smoother" because...

    Any improvement on the video quality of Mavic Pro Platinum over the Mavic Pro?

    I have been flying a P4 since its release. I purchased a MPP for a more travel friendly camera. The video is very "jumpy", as in not smooth. Every few seconds is seems to skip a fraction of a second. Is this because I'm shooting in 1080/60? I've never had this issue with the P4 even in 4K.
