Yes. And that will always be the case going forward.

Hmm, my Mavic has taken to not liking landing on well mown grass like on the airfield strip itself. Its fine in my garden, or other grass. Weird or what. Not a problem though.

Whats the odds someone reads that and .... ;)

I'd say that there are no end of 12v --> USB chargers capable of charging the RC on the basis that the RC is unlikely to require more than the top end of USB Amperage which is typically 3A across the 5V on USB3. That said, there are 3rd party Mavic Pro chargers, such as the YX for Mavic, that...

Gravesend, Kent, UK

I updated to .700 earlier in the week and only had the opportunity to perform some cautious hover and very short distance tests in the back garden. No chance to try out the various modes or anything much (built up area, illegal, that stuff). Today took the Mavic Pro out to the field with a...

Simply for the record. The geek in me had me read (again) the manual version 1.6 issued April 2017 last night. While the manual touches on the two USB ports it does so very lightly. There is no mention that to use the full size USB port the microUSB has to have the cable unplugged. It only...

*Crickets* Speaking as someone who has read the included leaflet, manual would be a gross exaggeration, and printed (yes) the latest PDF I can safely say that specific information is obscure at best, to be entirely polite about the documentation for a £1,300 toy. Makes forums like this...

Obstacle Avoidance System ...

Who knew? :D:D:D I cannot tell you how many hours I've lost over that rather interesting "feature" LOL

I think the story emphasises the need for Mavic (and other high-automation) drone pilots need to learn their way around the software controls, how to enable/disable the modes and how to actually fly with them switched off. That, and perform "dress rehearsals" of various failure modes such as...

I updated to .0700 last night using OTA on the house WiFi. It took around 15 minutes all in, with the Magic getting quite hot and the fans running at full chat. I took it for a fly around the garden at low altitude. Start up, GPS lock, hover and flight control in the light breeze was fully...

It was rather chilly this Saturday and Sunday .... as I found out when setting up and getting my head around my brand new Mavic Pro that arrived Saturday 11:58am (I wasn't clock watching ... much). Kent, for our international folk, is otherwise known as The Garden of England. Lots of fields...
