The first thing I would look at would be the props, have they been placed on the wrong mounts. Then as a separate issue something has affected your controls, make sure you are in default mode and non sport settings. I feel that it was more than knocked off a table!

Duct tape leaves a messy sticky patch....black electrical tape leaves no residue and looks cool?

The tolerances on the gimbal bearings are very small, anything that stops or hampers the free rotation will cause the overheating warning, so just a small amount of water, grit or in my case the lens cover left on can give problems Best if you see the warning, to do exactly as you did RTB and...

The first thing that I would do is a factory reset followed by a newly downloaded upgrade assuming that the factory reset didn’t bring in the latest update. Go on line to get the full details from DJI. Com support https://www.dji.com/mobile/downloads/softwares/assistant-dji-2

The idea of useing a kite for observation predates balloons (it was mentioned in the famous book The Art of War) The Chinese sent up observers using very large kites with teams to operate them (it never said how they got back down) so a camera should work! As for height I don’t know of any...

I don’t know if everyone does this , but prior to any flight I have a mini check list 1 charge all batteries and get drone ready for flight. Remove gimbal/ camera cover 2verify sync and GPS and memory card 3 do the DJI dance ( compass) 4 make sure the RTH height is good for the area 5 ensure...

I agree with the previous reply on the card rate, also when you are set on auto exposure but viewing lights and a dark background the auto levels have a problem getting the correct iso. This looked like the auto iso was trying to calculate bright light and darkness in the same frame, difficult...

If the top faced the sun and the batteries faced away that should resolve heating and cooling, not too sure about just staying still as the moving props would cause micro gravity and some sort of migration This is a bit like what weighs more a pound of lead or a pound of feathers?

But you would get bragging rights to distance, height and speed records. I think the real interesting question would be, what would happen if you took it outside during a space walk?

Newton needs to be understood!

The easy answer is yes... but! The sensors would not have any input from gravity, so it would probably flip As for Newton the rotation of each blade would present lots of counter acting inputs as would the Mavic body, In effect you have let loose a highly dangerous device in an enclosed...

You are correct, the strobe is purely for potential aircraft avoidance, you could mount another underneath but I find that the existing lights are OK remember to always fly line of sight, aircraft in theory shouldn’t be flying outside airport restricted airspace lower than 500 ft, however I find...

Whoops...... grams!
