    Mavic Pro Battery Mod

    Hi Just my 50 cents on this mod. Higher air resistance. Extra stress on components due to extra weight. More down push from propeller wash. Higher EMF fields through the craft (DANGER of compass error). Reduced agility. Reduced "echo" speed. I meant the speed at which you can travel without...

    Mavic Pro Battery Mod

    Hi. Can you measure the voltages (stock battery and external)after 2 or 3 minutes of rest at least after flight and post the values please? If u have a good quality meter only. ? I am curious if the same amount of current is drawn from both. While in theory should, in my case was not true...

    Piggy back original mavic Pro battery to extend range

    Hi Here is my "final" solution for a battery made out of 2 original batteries. Ok I am not using the smart board but I have about 2 years Mavic Pro long flights experience. It will still autoland on critical voltage and will not crash on somebody's head. Can be done and with the smart board for...

    Let’s do a Mod Mavic Pilots

    Hi Good luck with your mod. I did a Pro with 2 batteries in top of each other myself. I removed the casing for both batteries and my main one with the "smart board" weighted in at 217 g and the "backpack" 213g, some padding added. The bare cells weight 60 grams each. I obtained 15 to 20 km range...

    Freezing Temperatures?

    Hi there I flew my Pro down to - 6 C so far with no gimbal cover and all went well. Just put a warm battery on it before take off. You can monitor battery temperature during flight just click on battery icon. Have as well the voltage displayed. Light snowing should not affect it other than if...

    M2P Inexplicably Crashed Into The Pacific

    Hi, I don't know if this is of importance/help but the last entry in your flight record has the following warning: Upward Obstacle Detected; Weak signal. Adjust antenna and avoid signal block. Not sure if it was still in the air at the time or it flipped upside down and the "upward obstacle"...

    DJI stop making Drones

    This "trick" works with Mavic Pro. 1. Start app only , enter camera view and scroll around the map. This is to get the surroundings, quite helpful during flight. Once you have the area map in your Go app, the next flights in the same area will not require this step. I think Litchi does not save...

    Litchi ignores Video recording actions on Mavic

    Hi guys, With help from Litchi support i solved my issue. I finally had a chance and did a test on a 11.4 km mission :) (wind less than 5 km/h N-S/flying mostly E-W/100m above ground/ 47km/h speed set/20min mission time/straight lines/18% battery on return/low noise props/20+Celsius conditions)...

    Litchi ignores Video recording actions on Mavic

    Hi guys I can confirm now that unfortunately there is an issue between our Mavics (Pro and Air) and Litchi I flew the same mission with Phantom 3 Standard and the "cheapie" has no issues taking jpeg + raw images and video recordings, accepting any actions order you like with no Stay breaks in...

    50 seconds left meant zero

    Hi there If you like to go far, I will recommend (from my experience) a M Pro with quiet propellers. This is not about noise, but about lower revs for same output. Be aware that (if you are going to mod it) if build after Oct 2017, this may be more challenging . Another one to consider maybe is...

    Litchi ignores Video recording actions on Mavic

    Thanks for letting me know I am not alone Today I tried a different Android device with an older Litchi version. Same thing , no video recordings
