I think its still quite normal.. the very least is for it to work. Btw, I manage to stream slightly more than an hour without flying the bird. No issues at all Do you know of any platform capable of live streaming 4K videos?

I had similar issues trying to start youtube live using the Go4 app youtube live option. This solution is great as live streaming seems to start almost instantly. video latency of 30s to 1 min is the usual

just an update. The trial using Sports mode and a landing pad with all sensors off was pretty successful (left down stick was enough to cause the motor to stop spinning). However, I would not recommend taking off or landing when the wind speed is beyond 20 km/h. it is good to consider having the...

While at sea, the high winds make it very hard to control the mavic using normal mode and the under sport mode all the OA sensors are auto switched so i do not have to manual turn it off thru the app

Next trial to do the following: 1) turn on sports mode, switched off OA 2) place landing pad onto netting Any other suggestions are welcome

My next attempt will take into account of that using the landing pad. hopefully with the sensors off, this would allow the drone to land

Hi Thanks for sharing your experience as well. Yes, I have a picture that shows the setup - netting and propeller guards. Basically, landing and launching is from the bow of the boat with no structures that may come in contact. The MP is suppose to take off and move forward. I would say that...

Agreed. I will prefer that this feature be in place than regret later on

Good point, I may have been doing it all wrong as I thought when the mavic landed on the netting and i execute the CSC it will force the motor to stop. Thereafter, I tried to use only the left stick to land the drone (it didnt shut off either) as the sensors were off and the drone still believes...

Unfortunately i cannot replicate what happens on land while at sea because the conditions are really different where the wind could be suddenly strong, the wake/swell could also rock the boat pretty badly. in such operating environment, its really unsafe for the pilot to manually catch the...

Thanks for sharing. But shouldnt the emergency shut down suppose to work? because it is suppose to work in mid flight according to the user manual. But it seems like it does not respond the way it should.

Like I have mentioned, this is a proof of concept. I have no interest in getting my hands cut by drone. peace

not what i am looking at.

I think from a risk management perspective, I want to eliminate the need for direct contact with the drone during launch and landing.

Hi, I am experimenting with Mavic Pro on a boat using a wide-flat netting and having DJI propeller guards fitted to Mavic. The proof of concept was to land and launch the Mavic from the boat netting with the downward sensors switched off. The netting helps to cushion off the roll, heave and...
