Depends on your location. I've only had this happen to me once, and my pre-programmed response to things being weird is to switch to sports mode and go Full UP. This got me well away from the car that was apparently causing interference, and gave my Mavic Pro time to gets its **** together, so...

I have a Garmin GPS 18x USB which I use in my 4WD, which has a firmware version from Dec 2008. It started reporting an incorrect date in November last year, (10 years give or take in the past), the only negative impact of which is recorded track points have the wrong date. The date reported by...

They might if CASA gets involved, I don't believe there is anything in our drone legislation which would allow such a drone to be operated in such a way.

Nah, I think I'll live with it. The Radar at least gives me direction and heading so that is enough.

Expiry did cross my mind actually, the one year anniversary of my purchase did just pass, so theres a good chance this could be the problem. What about you Maclak.... do you know when you downloaded those maps roughly?

Hi Guys, I recently fired up my mavic pro, and found that my offline here maps are gone, and have been replaced by blank Google maps. I'm running a galaxy note 4 (I think), which is dedicated for use with my mavic, and doesn't have internet connectivity. I don't have it with me at the moment...

Hi earljf31, Check on my thread on this: Streaming directly to laptop from DJI Go 4 App This will allow you to have a feed going to a laptop or similar, which then could be plugged into something like a 50-inch TV. This would allow several non-pilot onlookers to view the stream (albeit with a 5...

IMHO you should be just landing earlier. I aim to land my mavic with 30% battery left. I don't like the idea of the failsafes kicking in, as you have seen they could be unpredictable if your not familiar with how they operate. Fly with a safe margin and your likely to still have your mavic by...

Interesting. I've only seen it do that when the batt is hot. I usually just plug it in and walk away (generally to start flying on batt 2 or 3 :)). Must investigate....

Does it? I routinely charge mine off my fridge batteries in my 4wd, and they will float around 12.6-12.8 if the sun has gone down... Charges fine.

My mavic flying galaxy note 5 never sees the internet, I've seen too many posts about unpredictability after firmware upgrades, as well as forced updates at impractical times... ...if it ain't broke...

I think that's probably fairly conclusive. I'd say that means the mavic is horizontal polarization. Proves though however that your yagi is actually doing something though.

The lobes are where the antenna's best gain areas are. They dont relate to the polarity (or, not really for the sake of this discussion). The polarity is about if the waves are going up and down or side to side. It kinda works the way polarized sunglasses do, if you turn them one way, they...

No, I don't think your Camera is ok. I've had two Mavics now, and I have not been able to reproduce your focus issue on either of them. I think your going to have to bite the bullet and return the mavic.

Your talking about radiation patterns there, not polarity --- they are different. Its easy to test on equipment which gives you a signal readout in dBm, you've only got a mobile-phone type bar readout on the controller. Anyway, if you were to fly your mavic to a distance where you have lost 1...
