    Battery charge bug?

    Looked at the data logs and voltage was reported as 3.7V per cell which matches 59% when the battery started at 100% and drained through use.

    Battery charge bug?

    It hasnt happened since I started unplugging after charging and always stays fully charged.

    Battery charge bug?

    DJI have offered a replacement but not convinced there is a fault as such: This happens intermittently if I leave the drone connected to the charger overnight. If I unplug the drone from the charger once the battery is full it does not discharge. I am therefore thinking it is a bug between the...

    Battery charge bug?

    Had my mini 3 a week now and still waiting on the fly more combo so I have a single battery. After use I charge it using a 65w PD charger straight into the drone. I have charged it 9 times in total. A couple of times it has charged normally, and all 4 lights are solid on the drone. When I went...

    Controller calibration issue that isnt?

    No accessories. I have the controller and my phone galaxy s10. The only other thing I carry is the mavic air bag; I wouldnt carry that when testing indoors, but I will try that and see. I wish it was possible to buy replacement. controllers, would make troubleshooting controller issues much...

    Controller calibration issue that isnt?

    I have a weird but pretty consistent issue with my Air controller that has persisted for a long time. I regularly get the constant beeping when I turn it on. Fiddling with the sticks prior to power on fixes this. If I fly it indoors it behaves impeccably. If I check the controller calibration...

    Are you happy with Mavic Air FW .0500?

    3 batteries down yesterday in very windy conditions and it seemed fine. The ability to change exposure with the wheel is a welcome addition...

    Motor current error and control loss?

    I have received the 'motor current error numerous times without issue and as per who guidance believed it to be a messaging error. However, last week I got this message and the MA then seemed desperate to crash itself into the nearest trees. Luckily the control loss was temporary and I was high...

    Official Mavic Air Sport Leaderboard!

    How are people hitting such high speeds? My experience is the MA limits its power output to maintain its theoretical maximum? Yesterday I was hitting 19.6 m/s in a gusty, sometimes 15 m/s wind. Even when flying downwind it wouldn't exceed 19.6 m/s... To exceed 20 m/s do you need a windspeed in...

    Manual Settings vs Auto

    Looking through a screen recording of the footage the auto exposure changed from 1/40 to 1/240 so 2 1/2 stops. I manually set exposure at 1/120

    Manual Settings vs Auto

    Attempted this over the weekend, perhaps I am attempting something the MA sensor cannot cope with: A combination of dark pine forest and very light sky make for a significant dynamic range. The manual exposure looked more contrasty for the initial part but the highlights blew out in the top...

    Manual Settings vs Auto

    I completely get the logic behind using manual settings to avoid exposure swings. However, a common technique is to tilt the gimbal to reveal a subject which in my experience causes the exposure to change significantly. I use ND filters to get my exposure in the right ballpark (e.g. 2x...

    30% low battery warning?

    By default the very scary low battery alarm starts at 30%. As a beginner I am never more than a few metres away by the time this alarm goes off. If it is kept close by is there a significant negative impact to changing the alarm point to 20% which is still quite high (in terms of charge)? That...

    No Signal Error???

    Are you on android or iOS? I am using a galaxy s7 edge with android 8. Not had the screen disconnect happen since my last post, but if it does happen the first thing I will try is switching between photo and video mode...
