    Compas problem or something more sinister? Help..

    I've had the same thing happen to me. Try calibrating the compass on your phone while it is attached to the controller.

    Imu calibration

    I believe I have read somewhere on the form about having to smack the mini a few times when having IMU problems. There is a certain way you have to hold it and a certain spot to smack it. I don't remember exactly how to do this so you will have to do a forum search for IMU problems. The thread...

    Samsung Galaxy Tab A (2019) 8" (32GB) with DJI Fly app

    I use a Samsung Tab A 8in sm-t290 that I purchased to use with the MM. While it does take a few minutes for the Fly app to load up, I haven't noticed any lag while flying. Could be because nothing else is installed except for UAV forecast and Kittyhawk.

    Using a tablet

    I just bought a Samsung tab A sm-t290 today. The fly app will not install from the play store. To get it to work you will need to open the tablet settings and select security, then tap "Install Unknown Apps". A list of apps will show. I selected "My Files" then tap allow. Next you will need to...

    Pilot to drone orientation icon on the bottom of the fly screen

    There is a fix posted on the DJI forums. It is says to recalibrate your phone's compass while it is in the remote holder and connected to the fly app. Apparently being so close to the remote affects the phones compass.

    Mavic mini battery board

    Nice work! Do you plan on selling these? If not would you consider sharing your mod with us?

    Mavic Mini Dragged away mild wind

    Thanks for posting that flight data. If the ESCs aren't the problem, I wonder if cheap build up inside the shell could be causing something else to malfunction.

    Mavic Mini Dragged away mild wind

    Pardon my ignorance, I'm not familiar with DJI hardware and software. The mini is my first dji product. Is there some sort of feedback from the motors confirming that they are running at full speed when this happens? Could the flight controller be sending the command to run full speed, but...

    Mavic Mini Dragged away mild wind

    Just a thought about what might be causing these uncommanded descents. Warped props are causing the motors to constantly run at a higher rpm. When strong wind is encountered they cant spin fast enough so AC applies max power. After a few mins of max power heat builds up in the ESCs causing more...

    Mavic Mini quick release props

    Thanks for the replies. I wouldn't even consider trying them unless they had raving reviews by the MM community. After getting a little sleep I finally realized what should have been obvious. I modified the case by cutting a strip of foam where the blades were making contact.

Amazon.com: RCGEEK Mavic Mini Drone Motor Covers Caps and Height Extender Holder Parts for Mavic Mini Propellers Cover kit Compatible with DJI Mavic Mini Drone Accessory 4 Packs: Toys & Games It doesn't say quick release in the title, but if you read the description...

    Aviation Observation/Incident

    Could it have been some of Elon Musk's starlink satellites? I have read reports of people seeing them saying they deploy in a straight line. I'm not sure when the last launch was though. Maybe something to look into?

    Spark from China, too good to be true

    It kind of seems like it doesn't it? Several post to go someone managed to get Hitler's name in.

    Spark from China, too good to be true

    I would do that but my wife is the one that bought it as a gift for me. Over 20 years of marriage I have learned it is best not to taunt her.

    Spark from China, too good to be true

    Received my package from China today! They didn't send me a DJI Spark or even a DJI sticker. It was a 4x4inch padded envelope that contained three Lego pieces. The base plate for a Lego man, a Lego propeller, and a Lego helmet. Surprisingly they are real Legos. I can't help but wonder why the...
