    Landing drones on a rocking boat deck

    I’ve been flying off boats since 2015 starting with the Phantom 2, going onto the Inspire 1, Mavic Pro, and now the Mavic 2 Pro. I have filmed a lot over water launching and retrieving way off shore in calm and rough seas, usually from an 8m fishing boat. It takes some practice but here’s how I...

    Mavic 3 ATTI Hack?

    I’m really really hoping there’s a way to get atti mode on the M3. Without it I probably won’t be buying another Mavic which would be real shame cause it’s perfect for what I need. Thanks for keeping on looking into it! I would really appreciate it if you could share any discoveries here. Thanks!

    Mavic 3 ATTI Hack?

    So far as I can tell, nope. I hope someone clever finds a way, because without ATTI as an option, the M3 is all but useless to me.

    Mavic 3 ATTI Hack?

    I like to track along with the boats, filming them from 3/4 front, back, side, arcing around the bow etc. We often cover many many miles during a flight. Braking in ATTI isn't hard, you just apply opposite stick input, but it's obviously not as accurate as GPS braking and you won't get a...

    Mavic 3 ATTI Hack?

    Yup. He/she specifically asked about the M2P.

    Mavic 3 ATTI Hack?

    Yes it is possible to replace Sport mode with Atti mode. Not too complicated. See post #24 in this thread. Not my post, but the info is there.

    Mavic 3 ATTI Hack?

    When we say "smoother video" in ATTI mode we don't mean the gimbal behaves differently to give you smoother video. When you fly in ATTI the UAV floats, so when you slow down or come off the sticks the UAV doesn't brake, it just keeps floating in the direction it was going. This is what gives...

    Mavic 3 ATTI Hack?

    Okaaaay… I didn’t realise it was a competition mate. Enjoy “our-flying” me 🤣 I trained to fly in ATTI and prefer to fly that way. Never said it was wrong for you to fly in GPS.

    Mavic 3 ATTI Hack?

    I have never used my UAV for these purposes but I imagine you would definitely not want to be in ATTI when you do Pano's or Hyperlapses. The UAV drifts along with the wind and might not give you sharp images due to motion-blur. Also, you can not activate the smart flight features while in ATTI...

    Mavic 3 ATTI Hack?

    In ATTI mode all info on screen remains the same. The only difference is that the UAV won’t hold lateral position when you let go of the sticks. It will drift, but maintain altitude.

    Mavic 3 ATTI Hack?

    Thanks for the info Chris. Interesting read. Before I posted my question I searched the forum for Atti and got nothing related to the M3. Maybe I just don’t know how to search properly 😬

    Mavic 3 ATTI Hack?

    There’s a few reasons that I prefer ATTI over GPS mode: 1. To maintain my Professional Pilots Certification I have to be able to fly ATTI during the annual flight test; 2. I film a lot of fast moving bikes, boats and cars. Flying in ATTI allows me to get much smoother motions, plus GPS is...

    Mavic 3 ATTI Hack?

    Hi all, Was wondering if anyone had info on wether or not the Mavic 3 can be set to ATTI mode? I fly in ATTI at least 50% of the time, so as much as I would like to upgrade from my Mavic 2 Pro, it would be a deal-breaker for me if I could not get ATTI on the Mvic 3. I'd appreciate any info...

    Tricks to takeoff from and land on a boat?

    It’s really not difficult. I’ve applied the hack multiple times as you have to redo it after each firmware update. I wouldn’t want to try and land on a moving vessel without atti. I think the Phantom formfactor is the best for hand catching. The Inspire is a bit big but do-able and the Mavic...
