    Can't Activate Mavic Through App

    I guarantee, using Android with DJI is always sketchy. It might work for months, but comes an Android update, and then weird behavior occurs. It's too dangerous using an OS that provides intermittent response. I only use iOS products now with DJI. BTW, I had to delete Go 4 from my iPad and...

    Mavic Pro Controller Charging Incredibly Long

    Hey! I'm a former motorcyclist. At home I use a generic USB (phone) charger to charge my controller, and have one in my car for my phone (which also works for the RC).I also saw once a cig-plug charger that also had a female connector for a second cig-plug charger, so you could presumably...

    Assistant 2 does better firmware update

    I guess I wasn't clear. Said error message only appears when using Assistant 2, performing the update removes the problem. And the flight instability disappears as well. The RC shows no errors, although flight instability was a problem. Changing batteries does not affect this flight issue. In...

    Mavic water recovery system

    I am super-impressed by all the creativity here (used to be called Yankee ingenuity 2 centuries ago). I can imagined one having more fun tinkering & engineering than actually getting out to fly??!!

    Assistant 2 does better firmware update

    I had some serious problems with my MPro being unstable in flight: it would drift horizontally with 0 control input and occasionally start drifting upward at an ever increasing rate (requiring full "down" control input to bring it back). All this even with allowing DJI Go 4 app to do its system...

    Video of my old car...

    A real cherry automobile -- engine looks super sharp and the paint job really sets it off nicely. My otherwise humblely offered stylistic opinions: 1) in the beginning you have 3 superimposed views. The viewer does not have much time to see images underneath, and it is further tantalizing that...

    faa.gov vs drone-registration.net

    Ho-ho-oh . :(:mad::( Right on! I spent some 9 hours (plus one hour drive one way) over 3 days looking for it. One Sunny day and two drizzle days. Not happy at all. And since I cannot show the drone to DJI, I have to assume that my DJI Care is wasted money. :-<

    faa.gov vs drone-registration.net

    Not to worry, I properly registered myself at FAADronezone, and never paid any money to drone-reg.net. They have my contact info, but I broke off data entry as soon as I saw the price. And then got suspicious looking at the website more closely. It was my anxiety that caused me to clutch at the...

    faa.gov vs drone-registration.net

    When I purchased my Mavic Pro, I dutifully registered at FAADroneZone I paid the $5 and received a registration number. I recently lost my drone and went here Lost Drone Form - Report Lost Drone - Drone Registration This appears to be a government site (????). Yes??? But they have no record of...
