    Lost Mavic after downloading new update!

    I'm not I am by no means refuting user error nor saying it is 100% firmware related. That being said, I've spent enough time researching threads post firmware release to see a strong correlation between malfunctions / crashed and a recent update. In this thread alone there are numerous posts...

    Lost Mavic after downloading new update!

    Feel very sorry for me? Ok troll. It's common sense. Any time patches are released they are called betas. Users are always suggested to run "stable" platforms in most cases to avoid errors. DJI should not be recommending firmware updates until they are almost completely certain it is stable and...

    Lost Mavic after downloading new update!

    To anyone that is saying users are to blame for firmware related update issues... you are all idiots honestly. There is a reason why we have the term beta testing in our dictionary. The issues people are experiencing related to firmware upgrades are simply unacceptable. DJI has the resources...

    ribbon cable

    I did not re-glue. There was enough of the liquid electrical tape remaining to hold things in place when I press fitted the new connectors. The trickiest part of this entire installation is getting the ribbon to bend / fold in key areas so that it does not inhibit the range of motion of the...

    ItElite NanoSync Antenna Coming Soon!

    No, never fried the remote. I reverted the one that people were saying I may have fried, back to stock and it worked perfect. This is what made me think that the cables internally were faulty. It turns out the guys received a bad batch of cables and the replacement cables did the trick. The...

    ItElite NanoSync Antenna Coming Soon!

    I can comment on this personally now that my setup is working. I'll be doing some tests in the next few days to demonstrate the improved penetration this setup offers over stock. The results are night and day, the nanosync setup allows me to fly over heavily congested wi-fi areas with little to...

    ItElite NanoSync Antenna Coming Soon!

    Update: Amazing! So I just received the new cables from Itelite, installed & tested... I think it is safe to say that I received a batch of bad cables with my initial order. With the new cables installed, I took the the Mavic out for a spin and my connection never dropped more than 1 bar...

    I did the ribbon swap using the FSlabs item and my gimbal works perfect again.

    I crashed my Mavic and broke the ribbon cable

    If you dont have the option of DJI Refresh or dont want to wait. Swapping out the ribbon is fairly straight forward and cheap to do.

    ItElite NanoSync Antenna Coming Soon!

    Just wanted to give you guys an update. With the itelite setup I was getting the weak signal warning around 250 meters and total loss of signal anywhere from 350-500 meters. The mavic would RTH and then regain connectivity around 50 meters from me. After speaking with one of the guys at...

    ItElite NanoSync Antenna Coming Soon!

    If that is the case I will buy a 3rd controller and make sure I follow a strict guideline to ensure I do not cause this damage you guys are proposing. I am sure I popped the cables on securely, its obvious when they pop on. Cables were not mixed. Cables were not kinked when I set them and I...

    ItElite NanoSync Antenna Coming Soon!

    I'm just posting my experience regarding this install and my current results. The installation it self is not rocket science once you get the case open. Ribbons are easy to remove and re-install and its straight forward in regards to where you hook up the cables internally as they more or less...

    ItElite NanoSync Antenna Coming Soon!

    I purchased it from drone-antennas I was not going to say anything initially but I may as well disclose the other issue that I had with the kit I bought. There are two cables that are included that are included for the installation inside the mavic controller. I received two of the same cables...

    ItElite NanoSync Antenna Coming Soon!

    I will do an in depth review of this on my gear review website but I judging by how weak the signal is with a clear line of sight I think it is safe to say that the penetration of this setup will be far inferior to the factory configuration. To give an idea how how little my itelite antenna...
