The device you are using to fly the mavic has to have cellular ability in order to work as home point. Simply having an internet connection is not enough.

-Yes -It will try to avoid it if possible. No guarantees, the better solution is set RTH higher than the tower.

Probably not. The repair costs are usually pretty reasonable.

My issue is that the test asks you things you do not need to know in order to legally fly in the US. 1, 2, and 9 for example.

I would never do this. The systems aren't fool proof. OA is for emergencies, not something you should rely upon as part of every day flight.

Full down elevator when combined with full throttle down will not slow the forward momentum of the drone. If you had only applied full elevator down and left throttle at center or even increased it, you probably would have stopped the drone from crashing. Good information as always sar and bud.

I would not use the mavic to carry any loads by the way. And there's a strong chance that if you land you'll lose signal to the Mavic, in which case it will just sit there and not takeoff or RTH.

If the battery is over six months old you're out of warranty. This happened to a battery on my inspire 2. Only 6 cycles ever, but beyond 6 months so had to buy a new one. It was uneven cells. Basically at full charge some cells were more than .1 volt difference. 4.2 vs 4.1 etc. So it marks bad...

Ah they went back up to $799 :(

Weird my experience is the opposite. I can go much farther on my p4p and i2 than my mavic.

You can get factory refurb for $699 with one year warranty. That's a better deal IMO.

Range option?

Ocusync is optimized for fpv. It drops frames in order to keep response time low. This isn't a desirable trait on camera platforms like the inspire. My personal experience is I like lightbridge more. I had more issues with my mavic (not much though). The I2 and p4p use lightbridge HD (aka...

DJI Flight Log Viewer - PhantomHelp.com The battery already seemed very low. 55% was not even close, it was more like 5-10% really. Under load you were dropping below 3.3v per cell. Can you get the DAT file off of the drone itself? Instructions here: How to retrieve a V3 .DAT File Then...

The FAA does a great job at convincing people their guidelines are "laws" that you MUST follow, and unfortunately this DJI "quiz" only feeds into that.
