    Decluttering Android device

    Clearing app cache won't do anything for performance, unless there's a lack of storage and too many apps have been installed/uninstalled in the past (apps still installed will just recreate their caches anyway). There are two options for what is known as debloating. One is vastly more...

    An iPad Mini 4 is ideal for the Mavic - mine has no issues, performance-wise. Given their lack of expandable memory, you may want a larger storage version (like 128GB). There are cheaper android tablets available (usually with expandable memory), like the 7" Huawei Mediapad T3 - aka Wundertablet

    You learn something new!

    Depends on the device charging off it, I guess. I've always carried my adapter, but never had to use it.

    Hand Catching Mavic Pro with Stock Settings (Simple/Safe)

    The minor rev up does no harm to the motors - if you've ever full throttled out of a hand-launch, you know how much the drone can really pull. The tiny increase in revs during a catch is, frankly, **** all. Land in hand and grab firmly while throttling down. Whether your sensors are on or off -...

    It's also how the powerbank adapter functions - you turn the battery on with the adapter connected, and it supplies 5V to two USB ports.

    Downwords sensor need to calibrate

    Read the manual. https://dl.djicdn.com/downloads/mavic/20171219/Mavic%20Pro%20User%20Manual%20V2.0.pdf Your answer is on page 25, but read the ******* manual.

    How Fragile is the Gimbal?

    And that's another reason I prefer the clamp+cover over the combination cover.

    Huawei Ascend XT2 (aka Wunderphone)...USB memory supported?

    Pick up one of these: https://www.amazon.com/KiWiBiRD-Android-Smartphone-Function-MacBook/dp/B01GQU8H34 At the very worst, it won't work with the XT2 and you've still got a fast USB2.0 card reader. I've got one that is slightly more advanced - it has USB-C one end, and the USB2.0 end flips...

    Will flying through fog damage the mavic?

    Yes, it can cause issues. I've flown briefly in fog thick enough that I couldn't see my Mavic 50m away. It came back damp, with small droplets on the blades, from a flight that lasted no more than a few minutes. I would risk it again, provided I knew I could dry it out quickly.

    How Fragile is the Gimbal?

    I'm personally not a fan of the combination cover/clamp. I found it more awkward to attach than the clamp & cover separately. It also doesn't provide as secure a fit as the stock clamp. I kept the cover part, because it's less fragile than the stock cover, but took the tabs out to use it with...

    mavic pro stability problem

    Have you done a vision system calibration? Below a certain height, the Mavic primarily uses the downward vision system for maintaining position - if these are not calibrated correctly, it can cause the issue you're seeing.

    Huawei Ascend XT2 (aka Wunderphone)...USB memory supported?

    It should support it by default, but sometimes on cheaper phones you have to enable it. On the Y7/XT2, I believe it's under Smart Assistance > > More > OTG.

    Trying to calibrate vision sensors...

    Ever think you should include relevant details like screen size and resolution...?

    Autobraking?

    It's likely you were flying in the right direction for sunlight to hit the forward vision system and glare would cause the object avoidance to think there was an object in range - hence the automatic braking. You can toggle object avoidance off while retaining the FVS to prevent this, just be...
