    Controller lost connection with drone, 5m away.

    I doubt it is the second phone as I routinely have two iphones, an ipad mini (my fav to use for flying) and also a Samsung S7 all with DJI4 app and never seen issues relates to all being close by and on?? Aviation is all about redundancy - I would not feel comfortable without a back up

    Controller lost connection with drone, 5m away.

    Best tip I ever got was GO TO SPORT MODE anytime things go wrong - from this forum I have to add!!! It has never failed to bring my Mavic Pro under control. After my first few hundred flights I started experimenting with no collision detection when in safe isolated places and learned things...

    Big Brother knows you're flying, with DJI's approval

    While I have nothing to hide it does not mean I want the government/Big Bro breathing down my throat. However it seems a tad hypocritical to want to fly a 4K camera (some with zoom lens) and not acknowledge your potential infringement on other peeps privacy. Just like driving my car I got a...

    Has DJI completely abandoned Mavic pro owners?

    and I love my MP1 and it's functionality since MP2 shipped. When I hear that the 1" sensor is fully utilized I will be among the first to upgrade.

    Has DJI completely abandoned Mavic pro owners?

    Man touched a nerve..... interesting as always. My two cents - DJI....China... does anybody think they are looking out for you first (In any way)?..... and.... The rapid advance of Operating systems runs at a snail's pace compared to applied tech in things like drones, they are constantly...

    iPad mini, which one are you using?

    I have been using a mini 2 - I do have to periodically reclaim memory and it has overheated once or twice after multiple flights on very hot summer day (over 400 flights in last two years with no issues) When it failed I just flew home manually as I almost always do anyhow, only using RTH in...

    Can flying near radio towers interfere with Mavic Pro?

    I believe I have experienced this when I took off near a lrge flood wall (No doubt full of rebar) and a public street. Made it to about 40 ft AGL and it went crazy. I hit Sport mode and fought it like a bucking bronco back to the ground. It was the scariest and only time I have seen,

    Great Storage Option for your mavic videos

    I have had too many USB external drives fail (I think three) and NEVER had issues with internal drives so besides the cloud for backup I have recently tried out the little used Windows Storage Space which is software based RAID and WD Green drives. I love the security/confidence it gives me but...

    Bad day at the office

    My biggest complaint would be it is NOT bright enough without shade over screen somehow....

    Bad day at the office

    I use my ipad Mini 2 for both GoApp4 and Litchi - works but as it only has 16 Gb memory it fills up sometimes and I have to clean up memory. Also have noticed flakey performance with either app if it gets to hot (Only seen this time of year been using for 17 months now...)

    Is 4K worth it?

    But that is the the hook for me always using 4k.... When do I know when a special moment will happen? I do dump a lot of it sooner then later but what if... and I missed it.

    Platinum props on Mavic Pro?

    I believe it was a short term problem in one or two max FW versions (My observation from following numerous threads in this forum). From my testing I have found no significant issues in last 45 days I have been using, the blades do turn slightly slower and have the most significant sound...
