LAST UPDATE, I hope. As a last hope, I found a shop in a nearby city that advertises Drone Repair and gave them a call, explaining the problem to the very helpful tech. Most helpfully, he said he was familiar with the Stick-Calibration routine, and that, "What they don't tell you about that, is...

Thank you all for your kind suggestions. Though none were effective in my case, I did find another thread on this forum (from a DDG search) that stopped the beeping. I only needed to calibrate my sticks. It can be found here: <How to calibrate sticks on Mavic Air Controller> He has lots of...

I was hopeful your suggestions on wiggling the sticks and control wheel would work, so I wiggled them for a full minute in and out of every position, and rolled the wheel back and forth, before turning it on, after turning it on, and after turning it off. But, no joy. Does the Air need to be on...

Thank you, jaypike. But unfortunately it's the controller that's beeping, and it started doing it even before I turned the drone on, and after I turn the drone off. It did it again just now, and the drone's turned off. Too bad, that would have been simple.

Hello, Forum. I had to take about a year off from flying my Air, and just today decided I should give it a try again. I charged everything up--the batteries seem fine--but when I turn the controller on it emits a continuous fast (~3x/second) beep. I can't find any way to stop it. I did manage...

The instructions say to mover the sticks "through their entire range of motion." Doesn't that suggest that you should move the sticks to all points of the circle? I remember I had a drone from Parrot, and that is what their calibration specifically called for. Do you just move them one time to...

Thank you! That's exactly what I needed to know.

Can someone please tell me where my Samsung Galaxy NOTE 8 phone does the MA1 stores all those low-res thumbnails, and how do I make it stop doing that? The phone shows dozens of thumbnails, but doesn't indicate what folder they're in. I don't have an idea what their purpose is either.

I will definitely will contact them. thanks for the testimony.

Thanks, James. I bought the drone used, so no hope of warranty. Taking it to a good local tech today. Also, from what I see, and several comments online, the controller often comes with striped screw heads.

With no accidents of any sort, suddenly my controllere/tablet (Samsung TabA) wouldn't connect via wifi to the Air. Tried it with my phone, and got sporadic connection. Started jigglinf USB connectors and found the large plug going into the jack at the lower rear of the controller felt loose and...
