I was at EAA AirVenture and when I went through the drone building, I don’t recal those people being DJI reps, but just a company that sells DJI products.

“Yaw” refers to it rotating in place, not drifting. (As in the rotation axis stays in place over the ground.) IMU and compass have calibrated as previous indicated. (Although I appreciate your reminder of using a flat surface for IMU and being away from objects of magnetic interference for...

I’ve read other threads about yaw drift. Here’s what’s been established: -most of the time, it’s the camera slowly turning, not the mavic -a sizable portion of mavics do this -first action is to calibrate compass, IMU, and the controller sticks, but the error still persists Has anyone found or...

(I've been flying a mavic basically every other day the last 6 months.) I certainly understand your reasons. However, for only $100 more, you can have much longer battery life with a mavic and much much better range. A drone is one of those things that once you start flying and get into; you...

I've owned 2 out of the box, no problems, never owned a drone before this and after lots of learning from youtube and the internet, flying it is easy and extremely fun. (I'm a senior in a mechanical engineering program and decently tech savvy, so take that for what it's worth to you.) :)...

I keep an eye on cloud conditions and toss my mavic up anytime a sunrise or sunset looks promising. Between those, and all of the construction sites in my area, my bug goes up an average of every other day to explore and document the changing scenery around my town and state university. Buy...

Yes!!^^. I’ve downloaded the full 1080p video I have onto DJI go 4. I’ve edited it, transferred it to my computer, and it’s blurry. Is there any setting or technique to avoid the compression that happens and keep the quality?

cellular *does* have GPS, i have the cellular ipad mini 128 gb and it's awesome. loooots of space to store videos so i can edit them in DJI go 4, and I move around alot when I fly. i'll pull off the road, fly around, drive down the street, then update my home location and fly to where I'm at...

Funny, and I bet you feel pretty clever, but there are several extremely obvious reasons why I would not at all engage in that scenario, and couldn't even consider it in good conscience. I won't even waste our time pointing them out. If you honestly think I would, you've completely...

Nope. :)

To be fair to them, I edited the original post with more information after later discussion revealed the need for it. I can understand how the original post would've come across as just someone flippantly buying a product only to play around a bit and intending to return it while at the...

Thank you for the insight from personal experience! That actually helps the conversation move forward. (I never claimed that DJI does not incur some extra cost, so I don't see why you people are so adamant to point that out here, as if that's not an obvious thing. Now if the cost is enough to...

I didn't realize 3 weeks of research, in person discussions with an authorized dealer at an air show, and joining a forum and asking some questions, all before a purchase would have been classified as an impulse buy. ;)

You guys, I am quite surprised at how much of an issue this seems to be for you, and am now curious to see some actual numbers or reports on how much extra cost occasional "worthless returns" are for a company as strong as DJI. These assumptions and insults display a rude and unwelcoming...
