    Mavic mount alternatives in late 2017

    I have the Skyreat, but do kinda like the LifThor idea where it puts the iPad on top of the controller. How is it for weight balance? Are there any others similar to that one?

    Controller battery self discharge rate?

    I sent an email to DJI Support yesterday and today they responded with this: "Please check on your DJI Go 4 app if the auto-discharging for your remote controller's battery is enabled. If yes, please disable it, however, this feature is designed so that the batteries for your both aircraft and...

    Controller battery self discharge rate?

    So i charged it again last night, powered it on this morning and down to 90% overnight. I'll reach out to support to see what they say - I'm afraid they won't do an advanced exchange which means I'll have to send the controller in first and based on my previous experience with ground shipping...

    Controller battery self discharge rate?

    using a phone with no Wi-Fi or data connection

    Is there any benefit to using a device that has wifi/cellular? I was thinking of using an old phone I have as well - if I'm in the yard it'll have wifi but if i go elsewhere it wouldn't. Am I losing any functionality/safety by going that route?

    Using DJI Care Refresh

    Its not free, its just easier to sign up. After the 48 hour window in order to enroll you have to send pics/videos of the device to show that it isn't already damaged. I guess that would keep people from using it for a few weeks, then crashing and signing up for it.

    Using DJI Care Refresh

    I received my MP yesterday and signed up for SJI Care Refresh during the initial setup, I figured at some point I'd probably need it. I fully wasn't expecting to need it in it's maiden voyage. After a nice 13 minute flight I was showing my son how the return home feature worked. I hit the...
