It is my line of work. I am a contracted UAS operator for a major utility company and an instructor in unmanned systems engineering for a large university.

That is not correct. Precision landing utilized both downward optical and ultrasonic sensors. The "optical flow" capabilities of the M1P were provided by information from ultrasonic sensors to supplement its optical view of patterned surfaces. (DJI) This was used in the precision landing...

M1P and M2P owner here. I can confirm (used a high contrast landing pad) that precision auto landing is no longer a feature in the M2P. Took off slowly, hovered at around 3m for ground image acquisition (if it did indeed acquire) and flew off. RTH resulting in an auto-landing almost 6-8 feet...

"Waypoints" is missing from the intelligent flight modes despite being listed as a feature in the documentation. Firmware glitch or known limitation? I've seen rumors/mentions of Waypoint 2.0 making an appearance in a future software release. Anyone have any specifics or details?

I have to say, there have been (what I would consider) critical discrepancies with expected flight behavior in the Mavic Pro when using Autopilot. The "known issues" can only be sought out when going into a "Help" screen in the app, and buried within the app. This is reckless behavior by...

Absolutely no offense to the OPer, but this is exactly why Part 107 (for commercial operations) requires a written FAA exam, and why its predecessor (333 exemptions) required the operator to have a pilots' license. I am an FAA licensed pilot, and winds are something that we are always...

A day late, and a dollar short, but this is correct.

It depends on which version of the DJI App you are using. In DJI 3.x, tap and hold on the graudtiong cap on the main screen. After holding for 5+ seconds, you can release and the firmware update/downgrade screen will be shown. In DJI 4, you must tap and hold on the "menu" lines in the...

Downgrade the firmware, and then update from DJI 4 app. This should solve the problem, and prevent you from needing to return the drone to DJI.

I, too, prefer to wait and see if others are encountering unfavorable flight characteristics from a new firmware release. However, I typically only wait 3-5 days (and read enough forum posts to get an idea of any underlying issues). It is important to keep in mind that DJI also has a history...

The issue has been resolved! My OP has been edited to reflect the fix!

The result of the increase/decrease RPMS of corresponding props would actually result in yaw. And that would have been from a different maneuvering flight from the one depicted in the video.

That is extremely interesting data (and quantitative visualization) of what we see in the video! Like you, I'm rather surprised to not see a more consistently oscillating value about one of the four motors. I am also surprised to see that all four motors seem to be operating at their full RPM...

Ordered mine @ 9:16 PM EST last night (regular shipping). Got a shipping confirmation @ 1:13 PM EST today, and it is scheduled for delivery on 12/19. I did not pay for expedited shipping!
