    Mavic Pro Crashed and Repair

    Well, that was quick. I sent the drone into Fort Worth and she is back today. Going back though all the settings to check and set them. Reading in the manual I don’t see were to change the launch and hover. Can that be changed from the 4 foot hold to maybe 6 foot and hold ? Can that be changed...

    Mavic Pro Crashed and Repair

    Boy, this was a real ordeal. Once down, I had to dig all the sealing rubber goop off each of the three connections. That was a treat, but made it happen. Very Very carefully followed several YouTube videos on how to prep the cable for installation. Made sure all the contact were super clean...

    Mavic Pro Crashed and Repair

    Yes, Thank you !!! The sensors and bottom cameras are working. The only error that is left was the Gimbal Overload Error is all that is left. When I first replaced the gamble carriage, housing, (whatever the main camera attaches too ) the camera was working, no Gimbal overload error. After...

    Thank you. I will try and find out what the cost might be before I pull the trigger on that as I am very limited on funds now. Meaning, that will not go into my budget :-(

    Mavic Pro Crashed and Repair

    Ok, I made it work and was able to calibrate front sensor and lower sensors. All the error messages went away. The only error message now is the Gimbal. But this is screwy. When I first started out, I was able to replace the gamble plate and re-attach the camera. Everything was working on...

    I will download the assistant 2 from this site and having the screen vertical is something I may have not done. Question about your laptop. What version of OS are did you use, or did you do this some time ago ? I am trying to make this happen with Windoze 11. Going after it again, thank you.

    Mavic Pro Crashed and Repair

    Well, seems that this might be more than I can handle. Not worth trying to sent it in for repair, Even if I could. Again, Crashed hard into a tree trunk 30 feet up. System Warning, Check App. Checking the warning reports, found the bottom sensor was having an issue. Pulled it apart and did...

    Mavic Pro Crashed and Repair

    Several reasons for not upgrading and wanting to fix what I have. Limited Social Security. The amount of times I used it. Never really had the health or time to really work all the function. (76 years old). I still get the Sys Warning and found were some fellow had created a DJI Go 4 manual and...

    Mavic Pro Crashed and Repair

    Thank you. Always looking to find a better product. Due to I used to do component level repair, we have always used the GOOP which on the ham radio upgrades, that was also non-corrosive. Amazon huh :-) Thanks

    Mavic Pro Crashed and Repair

    Hi Rod, Yes, next month 77. Glass’s of course and then the magnifier has many different attachable powers. It’s the only way I can still see things. So, no shakes so steady hands for the most part. I have to say that I have had to follow the dotted line home, some time ago that is. Kind of windy...

    Mavic Pro Crashed and Repair

    Thank you and Yes, I removed all the connections and reconnected them. In the upper post, I mentioned I seen one ribbon cable that did not look 100%. It may have been cocked just a tad, That is the one I had to unlock to get it out of the connector. I cleaned it, put it back in, locked it and it...

    Mavic Pro Crashed and Repair

    Thank you for such a quick reply !!. I was not able to find that video on my own so thanks for that and after watching, I pulled the bottom, looked and looked for anything knocked loose in the crash but, the only thing I seen was the one ribbon cable that might not have been 100% connection. I...

    Mavic Pro Crashed and Repair

    Boy, I might be in the wrong place. Maybe you can direct me please. I was flying my Mavic Pro drone and trying to take pictures for a friend. Long story made short, I was flying sideways recording a movie of the back fence line of his property. I was moving pretty fast, sideways and plowed into...
