Hello Mavic Pilots, Currently I own a Mavic Mini display dock and I have just upgraded to the Mini 2. Is there a magnetic USB C adapter that will work on the Mini 2 dock? I don’t really want to buy a whole new dock just for a little magnetic adapter. Thanks!

Your Note 9 should be sufficient. Try setting the screen to a lower resolution like 1080p or lower with airplane mode and do not disturb. The phone is dimming to compensate for processors heating so you need to reduce its workload. Unfortunately your not going to beat Apple performance as their...

Very good info, thanks. I’m pretty new to using active track. This is only my 3rd time using the feature so I’m searching for all the information available. The first time i used active track i was walking, second time i forgot to record, and this time.

Hello Mavic community. Below is the YouTube link to a video of my Mavic 2 Pro crashing in active track. I’m not sure what caused the crash or why none of the sensors prevented the incident. Any input that could explain why this happened is welcomed. Thank goodness this was just a sand dune. The...

I live in Las Vegas Nevada. Here in the valley we are surrounded by mountains so it is very easy to find yourself above 500 meters. I recall a flying session at RedRock Canyon where i took off from Calico Tanks Trailhead and followed a gradual incline as I followed Turtlehead Peak. Before I...

If you anticipate encounters with birds while flying a Mavic Pro, installing the prop cage may do the trick.

Ditto, my Mavic Air auto Yaws 15 degrees left about 6 feet above ground level during takeoff. The uncontrolled response is very noticeable as if it were a deliberate response and it is clearly receiving the command from somewhere. It’s not drifting. Additionally, when RTH is initiated and the...

On my Mavic Platinum, I had similar results with loss of range. On the my Spark and Mavic Air I also had loss of range on the 2.4 ghz band but when I switched to 5.8ghz, both the Mavic Air and Spark had significant gains using these boosters compared to what is was getting without. 13k for the...

I’ve seen people do the aluminum foil trick. It works which is definitely a step in the right direction, if it gives any gains that translate into signal improvement. What about the wavelength of 5.8ghz? Mine works well as advertised.

So in conclusion?

Here are my results. Performance of these parabolic boosters may vary on your environment. Out in the open desert like RedRock canyon, I am able to achieve similar range but the signal isn’t as strong the whole trip. The downside is you loose 360 coverage and you must always point the RC at the...

Test that explain the science behind the cheap parabolic boosters and how they increase signal strength.

What are you flying now?

I have done multiple test with the Titan Switch 2.4ghz system for my Mavic Pro and the 5.8ghz system for my Mavic Air. Additionally, I tried both the Omnidirectional antenna, 5dbi and 9dbi amplified and the directional panels. Not worth it in my area. I’m not sure how they perform in a forest...
