    Updating to V01.00.0620

    I received my MA1 in october 2019. When I started for the first time I was prompted to upgrade the firmware for both RC and model and I made it. After that no more prompt was given by DJI4 App and, when I switch on the model, the firmware check says "Last version".I never used DJI assistant 2...

    Anyone Have Time To Explain Do's and Don'ts When Flying?

    In poor words, IMU is the object that "understands" the position and movement of your drone and keeps it as stable as possible. You do not have to know anything special about IMU, except if it is necessary its calibration, and this is indicated directly by the App. About obstacle avoidance...

    Found drone turned on

    Maibe it is a problem of the soft backpack. If you keep the drone in the original hard case you should be not in condition to press the battery switch, even if it is inserted in the model.

    Where max altitude is calculated from?

    The max altitude is calculated from the home point level or from the ground level below the aircraft? And is it possible to fly below the home point level( e.g. if you start the flight from the top of a mountain)?

    How hot do the motors on your Mavic Air 1 get?

    I have the same feeling on my MA1, compared with the old Phantom 1.1.1. Hovever, after 60 batteries, it seems is its "normal" temperature.

    Active track with hand gestures

    You do not have limit from the starting point, but, with gesture control, you have limits in distance from the subject(max. about 6 meters) and for the altitude(only few meters, for sure not more than 6). When I tried, it could follow me while I was running. But I think it can follow you up to...

    SD card issue!

    I am using 64GB Sandisk Extreme and Samsung EVO Plus and I can read the SD in my Windows laptop. However I normally do not extract the SD card from the model and transfer and delete the SD card files using the USB connection. The reason is that it is difficult to extract the SD card and there is...

    Batteries - Am I doing something wrong

    How long your batteries have been stored? And at which voltage more or less did you store them? If you have the multiple charger, try to charge them one by one, connecting directly to the power supply battery connector. It is also possible that the batteries entered the ibernation mode: in this...

    FCC or CE mode?

    I have no idea and, basically, I don't care. If unfortunatly you cause any damage with your drone , the flight record reports your fliing mode, your insurance will not cover the damages and you can be persecuted by law. However you can evaluate the risk and decide if it is worth or not, but you...

    FCC or CE mode?

    No. You do not have any issue with the warranty. You can have big troubles with law, if your country does not permit FCC. In Europe FCC mode is officially illegal, even if many people use it for long range flight, and also because the signal is stronger and more stable than CE mode. I don't know...

    SOS MAVIC AIR

    One of the possibilities is that the Samsung S7 has the USB port programmed as "power only". To verify you should enable the "developer options" (opzioni sviluppatore se hai il sistema operativo in italiano) in the SETUP menu'. There are many tutorials that explain how to do. Then enter the USB...
