If you are worried about liability, check with your renters or homeowners insurance agent about getting an umbrella policy added to your current insurance (homeowners, renters, auto). It covers someone suing you for basically whatever. Then you are protected for your drone activities and other...

Chatted with DJI support. They said to drain the battery to 0% and then try recharging...

Yes, as I mentioned in my post, I know that it means over charge. However, when I checked the charge level via the app the battery does not appear to be over charged.

After charging the third battery light is blinking twice every second or so. (The light that is two away from the battery power button). I've read online that this means over charge? I put it in the mavic and checked the cell levels and they are at 4.32, 4.24, and 4.34 with a total voltage of...

Also, it only records on the recording on your device, not the one on the SD card in the drone. I wish they'd add this to the Android app. So far it is Apple iOS only.

Ahh, the app connects directly from your cell phone to the Healthy Drones website to upload the log files, it doesn't have a way to connect to your PC.

Not sure what you mean by "my drive" - do you mean your phone? It doesn't remove them from your phone, just syncs a copy to Healthy Drones.

There is an app in the appstore that will automatically upload the DJI Go flight logs to their website for you. It is called "HD Sync" and the icon is a yellow smiley face.

Uh, cause now he can say he used his drone to take down a tree branch??? :D

The OP was asking how to keep his iPhone charged while flying. The problem is, you plug your iPhone (iPad, Android phone/tablet, etc.)'s charging port into the Mavic's controller while flying so it can receive data (video feed, telemetry, etc.) from the controller and display it on the screen...

I think people are doing this simply because the controller battery is draining before they are running out of Mavic batteries and they want to be able to fly longer. In my experience the controller neither supplies nor takes power from the phone/tablet.

How long did you wait? I've had to wait 60-90 seconds before I've been able to do step 2. I've also seen a YouTube tutorial on this where it says you can go into the settings and turn off hardware encoding and that can help. Sent from my Nexus 6P using MavicPilots mobile app

Yes, definitely read the manual. The altitude of return to home depends on many factors, including how far away the Mavic is from you when you initiate return to home. See attachment for Safety Notices

Love the revealing shot of the mountains.

I'm in Washington state and I was able to get a policy for my drone and that is the only insurance I have with state farm. Sent from my Nexus 6P using MavicPilots mobile app
