    Flying without tablet - stuck in beginner mode

    I wonder how long each login session lasts then before it times out...?

    Flying without tablet - stuck in beginner mode

    Yeah sounds like we've experienced the same restriction then as 30m = around 100ft. So it sounds like I can no longer really fly without having the tablet with me unless I rollback the firmware. I'll just have to remember my tablet in future then! I'm guessing that future versions of the DJI...

    Flying without tablet - stuck in beginner mode

    Hi All, Had a frustrating flight today. Glorious day, amazing location. I foolishly left my tablet at home but had my goggles and some observers/pilots so I figured I'd still be able to get some nice photos. I performed a manual take off with the RC but quickly realised that it was in beginner...

    MP flying without screen?

    I think this what happened to me today. How do I unlock it with the app then? Will it stay unlocked for future flights without the tablet after that? Cheers

    Custom RC and Go4 Settings Keep Resetting to Default

    Always happened, as far as I know. The odd thing is sometimes it remembers some settings and sometimes it doesn't. Of all the issues everyone has heard of, trust me to find one nobody has! :) Could it have anything to do with battery firmware? Maybe my batteries are on different versions? Just...

    Custom RC and Go4 Settings Keep Resetting to Default

    Looks like I was wrong, the aspect ratio is also resetting itself

    Custom RC and Go4 Settings Keep Resetting to Default

    Yes, I'm setting the settings back to how I want them when everything is fired up and connected, usually prelaunch or just after (once I've realised it's reset itself again)

    Custom RC and Go4 Settings Keep Resetting to Default

    Hi All, I'm not sure if these issues are related or not. I keep finding that my camera settings reset themselves each time I swap the batteries between flights. e.g. my style settings go back to default and I have to switch back to custom (and sometimes also redefine these customs settings)...

    Suddenly Mavic won't go above 96-98 feet altitude

    I hadn't done an upgrade and as I say the restriction was gone after I restarted everything. Today however I did make the mistake of trying to upgrade. USB timed out and it hung on 99%. Now Go4 shuts down immediately after launching the app. The finest weather out too and I'm grounded with low...

    Suddenly Mavic won't go above 96-98 feet altitude

    I had this happen to me yesterday (max altitude 30m not the opposite problem). It had been fine on the previous flight. I landed, tried again, same problem. Triple checked max altitude in the MC (120m) and no beginner mode or max distance. Switching RC off and on and reloading app seemed to...
