    MP1 front red LEDs not on during flight

    Recently upgraded firmware to most current, and i have checked and double checked, and reset the settings in Go4 for the lights to be on. They cycle on when the drone boots up, but then remain off all the time. I was looking for them when it was dusk to get an idea of orientation towards me and...

    Return To Home In Dark?

    I RTH in the dark all the time....like getting sunset shots from behind a mountain that frames my town nicely. One thing I've noticed is that the MP will **** near crash into the ground if you are brring it down faster once it is over your home point. Often i push my batteries to about 15%and...

    Valuable lesson - high winds.

    I had something similar happen to me......cept I was 12000 ft out, fighting to get back.....so I climbed up to about 600 ft figuring that at least if my Mavic started to auto land I could have some time to find a safe spot to let it put down. In the end I flew it over a ski trail full of long...
