    Upcoming Update - Clarification

    I plan to attempt disabling the internet connection of DJI Go app and services and just stick to the firmware and software version I have. Will see if that works or not. I dont like the fact that we are required to jump through hoops for me to use this to the extent I want to. I considered...

    Self repair vs Refresh

    So I need to replace the gimbal plate and one of the arms became loose due to a crash which I wanted to repair as well. I have DJI Refresh plan on the Mavic. I really dont want to have to send everything off and pay if I dont have to. Can they tell if I open the Mavic up myself to attempt...

    Single motor very hot.

    Update. Started up the motors without liftoff and let them run for awhile. Again the back left motor is hot to the touch but not burning hot. The other 3 are warm. I decided to fly around for about 20 minutes. Landed and motor is burning hot to the touch with the other 3 cool. Going to hit...

    Single motor very hot.

    To be honest I didn't pay attention to that. I will this time around after I get it back in the air. This was kind of a "Ow, holy **** that is hot... Wtf. Maybe the props are not balanced?" moment after I landed due to battery voltage.

    Single motor very hot.

    I have replicated this twice now with different props. Though it is windy outside and was just hovering in the same spot and orientation. Only had enough juice left in the lipo to check again really fast with different props. I am charging it back up now to try again. Will report back. I do...

    Single motor very hot.

    Nothing out of the ordinary at all. No bent shaft, not dirt or anything to throw off the balance. No odd noise.

    Single motor very hot.

    One of my back motors on my Mavic is getting very very hot. Too hot to keep my finger on without getting burned. I am using brand new props and even switched them around. While it is a bit windy I would think I would have more than just a single motor this hot. All other motors are actually...

    DJI Hints that new drone is coming at end of the month

    It would not surprise me if they are attempting their own entry level race quad. I have seen their test frames in the Rotor Riot videos with the Snail Motors they sell for race quads.

    Mavic vs Phantom

    Ill give this a try. I dont fly in sport mode right now. I leave the fast flying for my mini quads. I have noticed jerky movements when hovering in place. I reset the compass to see if that would help but still get them. Meh.

    Mavic vs Phantom

    I got the Mavic a few days ago and have had only a few flights with it so i cannot really pass judgement yet but I kinda wish I got the P4 Pro instead. I like the ability to switch into Atti in an emergency, better camera. I dont know if its settings but the Mavic doesnt control like my...

    Time to invest on new laptop for 4K editing

    Ask yourself if you really need a laptop. A desktop is going to FAR cheaper to build to handle 4k. You are likely able to build one for under $400.
