    M2P "Extra Payload Detected" at high altitude

    I tried to find the pitch specs for both types of MAS props, but wasn't successful. But if it's true, what you're saying is exactly right and would explain it. I assumed that because they have a larger surface area and (again, assumed because I couldn't verify it) the pitch was the same, thus...

    DJI Goggles RE - hdmi - smart controller - goggles disconnect

    New behavior after last FW update - Goggles (RE) are connected to SC via HDMI cable. when goggles head unit is flipped up, display is normal, but when down (over my eyes) the goggles disconnect - i flip them up and they connect again, flip them down, they disconnect. Always. I've hardly ever...

    M2P "Extra Payload Detected" at high altitude

    Side note to REStewart: Yes, I enjoy the job! We use a combination of helicopters, drones and climbers. The helicopters are expensive to run, and climbing is a sloooow option, but a Surveilance or LiDAR Survey drone is a lot easier to get to the site and a heck of a lot cheaper.

    M2P "Extra Payload Detected" at high altitude

    I'm certain you're both right, even at an in-ground-effect hover at .5m I get the error. The difference in weight between the stock props (which never gave any error, the MAS Stealth props (also never gave the error), and the MAS Endure props is just over 10g per set - apparently just enough...

    M2P "Extra Payload Detected" at high altitude

    After 100 tests, it's obvious that the issue is the Master Airscrew Endure props. Error was triggered 2m off the ground with zero wind at 850m above sea level. No other props cause the error, regardless of battery age or state. Props would be fine for slow, low-altitude cinematic video since...

    M2P "Extra Payload Detected" at high altitude

    I have a uploaded my CRO license / EASA STS-01 VLOS to DJI which unlocks most limitations. Also, I don't see any reference to the error on airdata.

    M2P "Extra Payload Detected" at high altitude

    Asking for help: New behavior for stock older drone (Mavic 2 Pro) (latest FW, latest FC, latest Go4 on Smart Controller - reflashed firmware, same behavior) I fly to inspect avalanche fences, forrest health, potential rockslides/avalanche and mountain construction sites for agencies in the...

    Is there a way to get my Mavic 2 Pro to come down faster?

    There might be a reason why it's capped at 3.5, but also - if you're feeling adventurous, you could try the old DJI Assistant Developer Mode method to decrease the min value to something like -4 or -5 to test https://www.sekidorc.com/press/DJI_Assistant2_Installer_v1.1.2_20170527.zip These guys...

    Is there a way to get my Mavic 2 Pro to come down faster?

    Give me a minute to fire up a VM and check it. "mode_sport_cfg_vert_vel_down|g_config.mode_sport_cfg.vert_vel_down",. "min": -10.0,. "max": -1.0,. "default": -3.0,. "value": "-8.000000" you can search 'vert_vel' in advanced parameters

    Is there a way to get my Mavic 2 Pro to come down faster?

    The easiest way to adjust your descent parameters is with this software that can access and re-write any parameter without using an editor or any of the CLI methods. Drone-Hacks, the best way to hack your DJI Drone - Download I've increased mine to 8m/s but be very careful since it takes a lot...

    I Just lost my Mavic 3

    *wasn't intending to drag this thread down into the non-factual world with my fantasy comments so I'll refrain from contributing to this forum in the future. I truly hope you find your drone and can get some answers as to what happened so as to possibly prevent a future loss or repeat. If I...

    I Just lost my Mavic 3

    I've had many bird strikes, and this looks different. Like either the motor fell off, or was shot off. Is it possible someone shot it down? I say that because there was an initial hit like the motor or arm was shot off, then another where the camera/gimbal was taken out. When a hawk or raptor...

    Time/% before forced landing ?

    Thanks but I still get this error: Oops! We ran into some problems. You do not have permission to view this page or perform this action. But it isn't so important. I'm trying to understand the correlation between the (H)ome marker on the flight progress bar and the 2 dots within the red left...

    Time/% before forced landing ?

    That linked thread seems to be missing for me, but I'm very interested in learning about this. Was it moved or remove? Is there another place I can read up on how this works?
