    New battery, no charge. Home repair possible

    I came to the same conclusion. I actually scored the drone at the same location a few months ago for about $250 (I've been really lucky there), but I am totally hooked on its performance, so I would have to spend the money on a new one if I ever crash it. Besides, I just bought 2 new batteries...

    New battery, no charge. Home repair possible

    I bought a mavic air battery at a local auction, new in box, for a mere $10, figuring if it doesn't work, no big loss. Well, it doesn't. But the case is not bulged, there are absolutely no scuffs or scratches, so I'm sure the problem is likely a cold solder joint. The tinkerer in me wants to...

    Tip Easy Removal SD Card Mavic Air

    I didn't watch the video, but if it suggests adding a tab, I wholeheartedly agree. I put a doubled over piece of surgical tape on all of mine. It's a plus as well for handling, I'm far less likely to drop it. I prefer keeping all of my cards sized at 32gb, so while out filming for a day, I can...

    Transmitter pairing with Samsung S9 Plus question...

    Thanks Bill. One thing I don't know that I should, does my phone wifi need to be on when wired to the transmitter? (And they say there are no stupid questions!)?

    Transmitter pairing with Samsung S9 Plus question...

    I'm sure this issue I have experienced on a few occasions of times is self-induced, just hoping somebody can spot what I've done to create it. Example: Yesterday, I'm out on a trail, decide to stop and do a flight through the trees. Everything is fine. I shut down my mavic air, and the...

    Arrested

    In my state, refusing to identify oneself to a law enforcement officer who is conducting an investigation in good faith (regardless of whether an actual crime has been committed, such as if (s)he were responding to a complaint called in by a third party) you could open yourself up to a...

    Where can I buy Mavic Air filters near Pigeon Forge, TN?

    Nope, just here on vacation, it's been so sunny, the filters would come in handy. I just saw the bottom line of your reply, didn't want you to think i was ignoring you. If my wife wants to go down over the state line, I'll make a side trip! If not, at least I know i can go to my local BB when...

    Where can I buy Mavic Air filters near Pigeon Forge, TN?

    Does anyone know of a place locally where I can buy some filters for my drone while we're in the Gatlinburg area on vacation? I was going to order some online before leaving home, but was worried they'd come too late. No shop in Gatlinburg had them... ?

    Reputable brick-and-mortar repair shop near Cincinnati, Ohio for drone electronics issue?

    Thanks to all who replied. My issue is resolved! I feel like a total idiot, but the advice to uninstall/ reinstall the app was the solution I couldn't think of!? I'm going to try to blame it on the fact that when I was in high school, knowing how to set your point gap and ignition timing, or...

    Help! App crashes when run through controller

    I'll keep them on my list. It's probably 3 hours from me, but hey, I'm retired, so road trips are no big deal if I can't find closer.
