Thanks Mark. It definetly is a learning experience, and a painful one. I'll still see what DJI can do for me. Thanks for the support!

Thanks for the replies man. Perhaps it was my fault. I just didn't see this coming. I thought it was in tip top shape before I put it in my case. I thought I was doing the right thing by upgrading. anyway no need to bash me any further, I can take a hint :) Have a good one.

1. I'm not sure where it was a critical setting. DJI made no mention to me that this was a critical setting. I installed the new update (DJI Go4, and Firmware, because it was my understanding if I did not, THEN I would be limited) Since I've been flying drone I've NEVER seen this type of...

I updated the firmware on the device, and updated the DJI Go4. It did not prompt me to login to DJI.com, and I did not know there was a restriction, as I was packing to get underway. I was not prompted before I flew it either, because I'm out in the ocean with no service. Normally I trust DJI...

I've done it before, and haven't had issues. Had this update pushed by DJI not been in place things would have gone a lot differently. This is one of the reasons I bought the drone, morale reasons underway. Having this thing literally stripped away from me in horror, because of an update DJI...

Thank you for the support. I will definitely be writing to them, and seeing what they can do. I feel better knowing its not my fault, or at least that it was out of my hands. Because I was out in the middle of the ocean, I had no popup telling me to update or anything like that, so I thought I...

I have launched it off the boat before with no problems. This is what I'm thinking what happened. The firmware update restricted the drone in a "bubble" sotospeak, which is why the drone would not more forward, because I (on the ship) was moving away from it. It would go backward, but then go...

So I've been looking at the forums, it looks like the problem the people in this post had DJI max distance happened to me. Except I was unable to do anything about it, because I was on a moving ship. Therefore the drone got lost. Again, once I get the TXT file uploaded, i'll share it.

Right but it may be a considerable amount of time before I can send them the file. Have you ever heard of someone getting their mavic replaced without sending in the drone? If the TXT file shows it was their fault? Do I have to have an internet connection to get the TXT File?

Thank you for this. I will not be able to post this until I get a stable internet connection unfortunately. I hope that will not hurt my chances with DJI?

Hi All, so I've been flying drones since the DJI Phantom 3 came out. I'm in the USCG, and was flying off the back of the flight deck. Before I got underway I updated all the firmware, because I understood I'd be restricted if I didn't. I did not do a test flight after the update. I updated...

Msinger, awesome! Thank you for this.

anyone have any recommendations on the landing aspect? its a little harder to catch a mavic as opposed to a phantom, due to the landing gears. but on a moving boat I don't have much of a choice, right? If I try to land it, its gonna sit right above the flight deck for a second, and then use...

Hi all, I'm on a US Coast Guard Cutter. I'm going to fly my mavic from the flight deck. Do I need to calibrate the compass before take off, since most of the ship is metal, and I will get magnetic interference? Also, I believe the best way to land it, is to have someone catch it, since the...
