    How to Exceed Max Altitude for Mountain Flying?

    Not really. It is only 221.9m above departure level. According to these numbers the departure level is at 2200m-221.9m=1978.1m

    Corner focus problem due to lens/sensor-issue

    Just open the raw files with any viewer and export them as jpg.

    Corner focus problem due to lens/sensor-issue

    It looks out of focus on the right. Probably the detector is not parallel to the focal plane.

    Corner focus problem due to lens/sensor-issue

    It is better to shoot raw and get the jpg in postprocessing

    Corner focus problem due to lens/sensor-issue

    It is possible that the problem is not with the camera but with the compression algorithm used in the Mavic. I can see in the image posted by maikm clouds of pixelation in the tree branches. Please do not use jpg format. Take images in raw and check if the problem persist.

    Gimbal Yaw Control?

    With Mavic landed moving the yaw stick rotates (only a few degrees) the gimbal. With Mavic flying, obviously moving the yaw stick rotates Mavic.

    Calibration... or lack of

    Had the Mavic for a month and done a total of about 2hrs flight. Never done or needed a calibration. Perfect performance so far including indoor flying.

    African airline reports drone collision with passenger jet

    The airline has corrected the statement. Was not a drone collision but radome failure. Sent from my iPhone using MavicPilots

    Mavic Pro EU compliance and transmit power

    In ideal conditions illumination, or in this case power flux, drops as the square of the distance, thus increasing four times the power will allow at best to reach twice the distance.

    Mavic Pro EU compliance and transmit power

    The decibel scale is logarithmic and therefore it describes a multiplicative change in power. 3 decibels corresponds to a x2 change in power, 6 decibels is a x4 change in power, 10 decibels is a change of a factor of 10, etc. The change in Transmitter Power of 6 dBm between ( EIRP ) FCC: ≤ 26...

    RC with Tablets only needs PORTRAIT mode in DJI GO 4.

    To me the obvious solution to allow the use of large tablets, like the Apple iPad Pro(9.7"), iPad Air or any tablet that is less than 8" wide, is for Mavic to allow PORTRAIT mode display in DJI GO 4. In portrait orientation tablets less than 8" wide,will nicely fit inside the controller arms...

    Phones and tablets that work well with DJI GO

    Hi guys, is there any information about using an iPad Air with Mavic's RC? Can an iPad Air in portrait orientation be fitted in the RC? I think it would fit but: Would DJI GO work in portrait orientation ?

    Mavic Pro EU compliance and transmit power

    Great job, congratulations. One aspect regarding these long distance test is that to minimize risks flying a drone a long distance, and to keep inside the law I would suggest to leave the drone in a relatively high place connected to the controller but in a static mode and then move away with...

    Mavic Pro EU compliance and transmit power

    Not really because the signal decays as the square of the distance not linearly as you have assumed. Thus an increase of factor of 4 in the emitted power (6db) implies a factor of 2 increase in distance.
