    DJI Goggles

    You cannot set camera and video settings on phone, they are over ridden once the goggles connect and must be set on goggles as well. In particular, goggles can downgrade video recording quality depending on how you set the video feed to eyes.

    3 Blade Hard Props

    Has anyone seen triple blade props online or printed them for the mavic?

    Video footage is choppy or glitchy

    If the glitching is not present prior to 1080p conversion, start there, check compression and conversion settings..

    Travelling to San Francisco, USA

    SF has many restricted areas. Use UAV forecast app and enable all airports including class D helipads. The coast south of san francisco is much easier to find legal flying areas.

    Glare in camera

    Dont take pics or vids with the cover. But you can fly with it for protection if you want.

    Disable gimbal from tilting up beyond 0 degrees, in gimbal settings.

    Crashed in ocean Waikiki - recovered after 30 minutes..

    Thats a painful video, lol. Very tight bridge, sensors caused all of those issues.

    Just broke my Mavic on the first day!

    If you absolutely want to play with mavic indoors, here are some things to do without flying: 1. practice taking manual manual mode photos, long exposure hdr shots, and getting complete control of the device as a camera. Because auto is just...bad. 2. Practice taking nice videos and fine tuning...

    That is the way to do it. Nice write up!

    Sensors will not prevent you from dropping into still water. Visual sensors see right thru clear water. Sonar sensors detect the surface. From a programming pespective, if one sensor does not agree with the other, and pilot throttles down left stick while on a yawing turn, you assume the pilot...

    If beginner mode is off, you need to connect with an app that authenticates with your dji account. Also check max altitude, and max distance after beginner mode is turned off. If you are not in beginner mode, and the app is authenticated, and your distances are not limited, you are in a...

    DJI Goggles

    Do not set the drone in wifi mode when using goggles. They link via occusync, for range up to 7km in ideal conditions.

    Must have for any RC hobbyist....works on mud, sand, saltwater etc. harmless to electronics. Not sure what it will do to sonar sensors or cameras, but it is better than salt water corrosion for sure.

    When sensors are off, it does not hoover as accurately. So yes, you have to watch everything when flying over water. What I have not seen, is somebody with sensors off, and the vehicle tries to auto land in water. That ONLY happens with sensors on, per youtube videos I have seen. Either...

    I have been flying continuously over water, and close to it, so I read about it before doing so. I read it is not good, and I have to agree with the reasoning. The downward vision sensors are sonar, they pass right thru water, and perceive the land to be the bottom of the lake in shallow clear...
