    Chances of Asteroid Mode for Mavic Pro?

    Yeah, I couldn't believe it. Apparently a "Pro" doesn't hold any weight.

    Am I the only who thinks the Mavic Air has the Camera the MPP should've had?

    I'm sure if 100Mbps was available at a cost that was feasible for DJI at the time of design of the MPP, they would have put it in there. People, keep in mind that technology and the price of it, changes daily. However, if you had a MA instead of the MPP, you'd be complaining that the older MPP...

    Chances of Asteroid Mode for Mavic Pro?

    I remember when MP owners were upset about the new modes that the new Spark got, that the MP didn't have. Whether DJI was answering the demands from MP owners, or it was their plan all along, they eventually updated the MP with all of the modes the Spark had. Based on what happened in the...

    Air vs platinum

    Since the MA came out, there have been a lot of DJI bashing by MP owners that are "pissed off" that DJI came out with a new model. I believe these people would feel that way if DJI came out with a bigger Mavic that had better features and longer flight time. I find it hilarious that they can...

    Introducing the new Cyclone Antenna System

    I think an amplified antenna would be great. The problem I have is that each one of these are made to the specific controller that you have. We just saw the new Mavic Air come out, and this, just a few months after the Mavic Pro Platinum came out. With drones gaining so much in popularity...

    Who has has the guts to take it to the max.

    I've done this a couple of times with perfect success. Of course I can't recommend that anyone intentionally do this. It should always be used as a fail-safe. However, anyone attempting to do this, make sure you have a fully charged battery, make sure firmware and software updates are...

    Is this it? The new mavic Jan 23?

    The Mavic is still hands-down the best overall drone on the market. Not cheap, but very high marks in all of the important areas. If I were to upgrade, or replace my Mavic with something better, the one thing it would have to have over my Mavic is a better sensor. I wouldn't go spending...

    The fake Mavic batteries have arrived.

    I would never put a non-OEM battery in my $1,000 drone just to save a few bucks.

    What apps do you have on your dedicated device

    I have the bare minimum of Android apps on my 8" tablet (those that can't be uninstalled). I have only added the DJI Go 4 and Drone Harmony apps. Octacore processor (Huawei MediPad M3). Super smooth video and no crashes. The more apps you add, the more issues you will have. I figured I...

    Love my MP Platinum

    I would get constant crashes on any device that I used that was also used to perform other functions, like being a phone, and/or having other apps on it. Also, DJI Go 4 and the other Drone Apps tend to need a fairly powerful processor. I have a Motorola Moto G5 and a Huawei MediaPad M3 that...

    Love my MP Platinum

    I've been using the current firmware without any issues (though I did need to recalibrate the compass). I've flown it on two long waypoint missions (once yesterday and another today) for a few miles, without any issues (other than loosing signal at about 5,000 feet). But the RTH kicked in as...

    Love my MP Platinum

    Wow, I don't feel comfortable with the thought of flying my MPP inside (maybe you have very large rooms). Maybe if I had a Spark. If those ever drop down to about $200, I'll buy one just to play around with. I love my MPP as well. Flight time is awesome, and much quieter than the MP I had...

    Any performance reviews on the new Mavic Platinum?

    A drop in noise level would be nice, as sometimes my wife can't hear me when I'm talking to her around the Pro. However, as much as the drop in DB is talked about, the 10% increase in flight time, to me, is the biggest advantage. I've seen videos of people doing distance tests where that extra...

    Offline map download not working

    Interesting, it doesn't work on my other Android device either, which is a ZTE Blade Z Max.

    Offline map download not working

    I would really like to have an offline map for Texas if anyone has it.
