    That's four more Mavic's dropping from the sky this week. Nearing 40 now since release. Clearly there's a problem.

    Mavic Pro2 Falls from Sky

    I've assessed ten cases this week of battery overheating and batteries popping off mid-flight due to extreme overheating, ESC failure's are another common problem seen thus far with both models. ESC's reaching max temp, then shutting down. Most of the drones have fallen into the sea, lake...

    I've been talked out of the Mavic 2 for now

    Since its launch, I've already assessed ten cases of battery overheating and battery popping off on both models. Last one yesterday night. Battery popped off again on another model. You may all want to be keeping an eye on your fresh releases.

    Who Says There's a Mavic Pro II Coming?

    No. This is mere speculation. Where the 1 inch CMOS came from I do not know neither, the drawings too, all nonsense. DJI since founded have always released teasers of its upcoming drones some weeks or a few months before a release via their website. The reason why sales are down on all...

    Capture failed, shooting is currently not permitted.

    That's just a warning telling you you're unable to shoot, the warning relating to this young man is in the screenshot that he posted, pretty easy question to answer too.

    Capture failed, shooting is currently not permitted.

    Reformat the SD card, and reset the camera settings. Once done try again, everything will be fine after that. :)

    Lost drone after 3 days..

    1. Click DJI app. 2. Click on the three lines, top right corner. 3. Click flight list. 4. Click last flight. 5. Try locating your exact GPS position again this way rather than using the find my drone. Once or if you find it, take it home, read and re-read the manuals again, learn to fly...

    Mavic Air fell out of the sky

    Try reading the manual next time you buy a DJI product. Why was you even flying in these crazy cold conditions with so much moisture in the air too? What caused the problem? YOU DID!

    I was wrong, my Mavic Air sucks.

    Looks fine to me. You're in a noisy WiFi area so there's going to be issues with live feed backs. Do you have true colour on there? Don't forget you also have a fixed aperture so you will need to fit a filter if filming and flying. Shooting during the correct times of day is also paramount. Any...

    So, this is the Mavic Air. *Picture*

    Why couldn't DJI just bring out Mavic Pro 2 instead of yet another drone that is pretty much the same as the last two? We need a much better camera on the Mavic Pro with an adjustable aperture. Sensor needs to be bigger. The camera itself needs to be much more stronger, rigid and sturdy, we need...

    Flyinging in -15 degrees celsius.

    You need to ensure that you're also monitoring wind chill; wind chill and land temp do not read the same, like sea temp. If you've a high wind of 20mph in the winter your wind chill is going to be nearing -15 and the closer you get to the coast that wind chill will increase to some -30. A lot of...

    How often do you change your props?

    Props should be changed if not damaged, deformed in anyway, nicked, haven't hit anything, etc, every 200 flights. You will know when your props need changing soon because you'll see a slight change in flight performance. Craft will ricket about, vibrate, video quality will become a little poor...

    Mavic Pro went rogue

    Interesting post here. The virus your app pulled up, did this happen in regards to the link that the DJI mod sent you?
