    Thought I was going to crash

    It is re assuring to know that this is a common fault, I am sure it is connected with the sd card somehow. I have had minor wobbles when I exceed the max file size, and sometimes a new file is not created, and filming stops. But the event in my original post was much more extreme.

    Thought I was going to crash

    Paul, thanks.Yes it is Mavic pro. I have done all you suggest, but not camera reset, and have done IMU calibrate, and compass, I will go and test. Re assuring to know others have a Gimbal scramble. Thinking back, I think I had this on my P4 once, but not as violent. I will do a test run tonight...

    Thanks, but I do not think so. Not many birds around.

    Thought I was going to crash

    Thanks, do you think it was the fast left yaw, how can I prevent it in future, should I do a gimbal recalibrate now on the ground. I do not normally do fast yaws as no good for video, but I will go out now and test to see if I can reproduce this. Good to know others have had this problem, and I...

    Thought I was going to crash

    I was flying over familiar territory, when my screen appeared to show me in a death spiral down to ground. It lasted a few seconds, and then recovered, and I flew home safely, it appears that the gimbal went into some malfunction, no warnings were posted. It was very scary. Anyone got any...

    How fast do you fly?

    I use mine for video, and slow is best. Only used sport once or twice just to test it.

    Mavic 2 enterprise dual software

    Personally I use Premiere, and Photoshop, however Da Vinci has an excellent free version that will also process 4K. Premiere is expensive, and may well be overkill, depends on the nature of the OP business requirements. Processing and rendering 4k requires a high spec PC/Mac

    Mavic 2 enterprise dual software

    DJI Go 4 app is free but has only very limited and low quality video and image processing. All your footage is recorded at high resolution on the onboard sd card, this is best transferred to a PC or Mac or tablet etc for further processing with dedicated video and image software. You will find...

    Why a Mavic Pro Platinum?

    You can put the quieter props on the Mavic pro, they are noticeably quieter, but the Platinum has different ESC's which are even quieter. Personally for the slightly longer flight times, I would not bother, the pro is more than good enough.

    DJI Flight Simulator

    My anti virus software prevented it even installing.

    Lost black motor cover

    I am sure it will fly OK, but cosmetically , me personally, It would annoy me intensely .

    Nervous to fly today in UK

    Yes we will be getting registration next year, it will make absolutely no difference, as the bad boys will not register anyway. But UK Gov has to be seen to be doing something. If there had been an incident near where I live I would have been first on the list for the Police to visit, many...

    Criminal Drone Operators caught - Updated - NOT GUILTY!

    /www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6524457/Police-continue-quiz-double-glazing-worker-Gatwick-drone.html Police now suggest that possibly there was no drone at all. All this damage to our hobby on possibly a false alarm. Shocking if true.
