    Mavic Pro RC Gimbel Button Repair

    Diagram of Mavic Pro controller attached. Are you talking about button numbered 5 or camera control #12? If it's button 5 they are available online. Do NOT use glue to reattach .

    Real world meaning of VLOS

    Under 250 gram low barrier rules were a gift. Wonder how long it will take before distance and immersed flying of them outside the regulations causes regulators to take away the under 250 gram freebie.

    Question about using Dji goggles for ride along/ friend

    Sony Experia Z3 Tablet airplane mode Huawei P 20 Pro airplane mode Both do it. App freezes on both if I power down goggles before Mavic Pro shutdown have to come out of Djigo4 then back in. Android thing I guess.....still have controller connection.

    Question about using Dji goggles for ride along/ friend

    Noticed that if the goggles are powered off before the mavic is shut down Djigo4 freezes. Using the most recent firmware .0500 for mavic, controller, goggles. Anyone aware of a shutdown sequence issue.
