    Mavic Pro Platinum landing problem

    Ok worked out how to see the flight log, and all the guesses are correct: home point set in wrong place, didn't exit poi before trying to manually land, OA was causing my problems. Will know better next time, thanks for all the comments!

    Mavic Pro Platinum landing problem

    I think you are right about the home point. But I was certain of its orientation, just trying to land manually. I think it must have still been in poi mode which confused it. If it happens again I will try the sport mode tip.

    Thanks for the tip, have never yet used sport mode(too scared of accidents).

    Mavic Pro Platinum landing problem

    I was near the drone and clearly able to see it. Also I have an extended range antenna on the controller which I kept pointed towards the drone at all times. There was no evidence of any loss of signal (note corrected detail edited in original post).

When I wanted to land it just refused to allow me to pilot it towards the open patch. Sometimes when I pushed the right side stick to make it...

    Screen went black

    I had an intermittent problem with my Samsung S10+ screen graying out, although inputs from the RC continued to work. Once when it was out of sight I just hit the RTH and it came back perfectly, even though it was difficult rural terrain. Eventually when I changed from the supplied short cable...

    Android 11 Kills the Fly App

    Thanks, I thought it was the same thing. What's the difference? Does the Android 11 update affect Go 4 in the same way? Ok, just found this at Why the Mavic 3 will use the DJI Fly app and not DJI GO 4 - DroneDJ : "Slow and steady improvements Over the last few months DJI has improved the Fly...

    Keeping track of batteries

    Hi, I have numbered my 3 batteries underneath with a permanent marker from 1 to 3. So I just always move on to the next highest number, and from 3 to 1.

    Lost connection, not far away (Mavic Air 2).

    I had a similar issue with my mavic pro platinum. I recalibrated the IMU , the problem seemed to go away.

    At the risk of upsetting some people......

    Thanks for this post, I see what you mean in this video. I had the Mavic platinum taken back by the supplier and refunded because 1 of the batteries supplied was dead. I was thinking of getting the Mavic pro 2 after lockdown for the Hasselblad camera, but after your post, I think the Mavic Pro...
