    Calibrate your gimbal before first flight!

    The gimbal kept dropping down during the test flight and it had scratches on the rear mount upon inspection. This might not save you from scratches, but will at least make your maiden flight more enjoyable.

    Cheapest android tablet compatible with Mavic Pro 2?

    I've settled for now on the Huawei MediaPad T3 10 9.6", with 3gb ram for $250. If I have problems with it, I can return it no questions asked within 30 days.

    Mavic 2 pro won't update firmware

    Thanks for the tip about the batteries, I didn't realize they had a separate firmware. Now I'm all set for tomorrow! Praying for clear skies.

    Mavic 2 pro won't update firmware

    I fixed it by alternating between the DJI assistant and the GO 4 app a bunch of times and rebooting the rc and drone 10+ more times. I don't understand why the RC has micro usb and requires an adapter, while the drone has USB C? It seems like a bizarre choice. Anyhow, I'm glad to have everything...

    Mavic 2 pro won't update firmware

    I just got my mavic 2 pro today and can't seem to update it. I have tried the Go 4 app with android and DJI assistant, but I am unable to update the RC nor the drone. On the Go4 app it says connection failed and on the PC assistant it says update successful, but when I plug the RC in again it...

    Litchi VR compatability with M2P?

    Is it possible to use Samsung Gear VR with the mavic 2 pro somehow? I also have google cardboard and Parrot cockpitglasses. I tried searching, but couldn't find much.

    Tablet holder compatibility

    You might not need an adapter if it is the same size as the ipad mini, you can just stretch out the legs and it will fit. Edit: Sorry, the ipad mini is apparently 7.9" so it won't work.

    Tablet holder compatibility

    I'm also on the lookout and I've seen the lifthor and skyreat recommended. The lifthor doesn't obstruct the view of the controller screen, but it's a bit on the expensive side. https://www.thorsdroneworld.com/product-page/dji-mavic-pro-ipad-tablet-holder-v3 Skyreat...

    Cheapest android tablet compatible with Mavic Pro 2?

    Thanks for the suggestion, but if possible I would like to stay under $200 since I've already gone down the rabbit hole more than I had planned (still need ND Filters).

    Cheapest android tablet compatible with Mavic Pro 2?

    Does anyone have a recommendation for an android tablet that works with the newest DJI go app and doesn't break the bank? Preferably not bigger than 8". Input is greatly appreciated!

    DJI forum - lack of moderation

    I was talking about the official DJI forum. Sorry for the confusion.

    DJI forum - lack of moderation

    I'm not saying there is, but one could come to the conclusion judging by the posts that are allowed there. In these days, online presence is crucial for companies and shouldn't be ignored.

    DJI forum - lack of moderation

    Hi. I'm sorry to start my stay here on a negative note, but I think this is an issue that affects all of us. While eagerly awaiting my mavic 2 pro, I've been browsing the DJI forums to learn all I can. I was shocked to find out that it is a cesspool filled with personal attacks and vitriol. A...
