    Question about flying drones in Europe

    I am going to Amsterdam for a week and then to France, Germany and Switzerland on a Rhine River cruise. Has anyone else done this recently and can you tell me, please, if it is worth it? I have taken my drones all over the Southwestern portion of the U.S. and have not regretted it. But, it...

    Loss of connection between Mavic Drone and Controller

    So far, about 30 flights, the iPhone has maintained connectivity. I hope you are able to solve your problem. As it was mentioned before, I erased the app from my phone and then re-installed it.

    Loss of connection between Mavic Drone and Controller

    That did seem to correct the connectivity issue!

    Loss of connection between Mavic Drone and Controller

    Actually by completely removing the App and then adding it has completely solved the problem

    Loss of connection between Mavic Drone and Controller

    I will try that. What you said sounds very plausible as once in a great while the iPhone will reset when that happens

    Loss of connection between Mavic Drone and Controller

I've replaced the short cord (the one that connects the controller with my iPhone) and the...

    DJI Goggle Question

    HI Everyone- quick question about the Goggles. When you turn on the Goggles all the lateral distance and altitudes measurements are in meters. I believe that's the default. How do you change that to feet? Thank you in advance for your input!

    How many of you do compass calibration before take off?

    When I start up my Mavic a window comes up confirming that I have the latest firmware and a little farther down the screen it shows the word calibrate with a box around it. (Thanks for your reply)

    How many of you do compass calibration before take off?

    What is happening if every time I open the app it shows "Calibrate"?

    Mavic Pro connection between Controller and Drone

    Hello fellow forum participants. I just returned from vacation and used my Mavic Pro quite a lot for video and stills. Towards the beginning of my trip I was flying and the video on my monitor (iPhone 7) went blank and I received a warning note (while using the DJI Go 4 app) that it was...

    Very unimpressed with my faulty mavic pro

    I hope you bought it from a reputable shop that is willing to stand by the product and willing to be forceful with DJI. the product itself is awesome, but unfortunately I had to deal with returning a Phantom 4 Pro and dealing with a technical support department that does little to openly...
