I've flown over 300 km (200 miles) in two different countries. I've never been prompted to calibrate and never have. I (now) check the two compass readings as part of my pre-flight checklist but nothing has ever looked wrong. My first drone crashed on its second day because of a compass failure...

With respect, gnirtS, I think mavicpro1000 is correct. The CAA granted general exemption E4457 on 28th April 2017. This allows for goggles to be used along with a spotter as long as the various conditions set out in the exemption are satisfied (which should be easy enough). It doesn't really...

File a claim and give DJI whatever details they want. As I've said elsewhere, I filed a claim under DJI Refresh expecting to have to pay up. It was DJI which said, after looking at my details, that they regarded it as a valid warranty claim because the drone had malfunctioned. Replacement...

I encountered a similar message with a similar pad a couple of times. On each occasion I had failed to secure the pad to the ground (in my case, grass). After observing the second occasion carefully it seemed as if the down-draft from the propellers got around and under the pad cause it to lift...

Thanks maximeeso. Glad to hear someone else has experienced the same issue. I was fairly relaxed about it throughout because I thought it likely that reinstalling the app would resolve the problem (which it did). I successfully downloaded the app to my iPhone and it was fine. But I find the...

I updated the DJI Go4 ios app yesterday following an app store update prompt. After installing the update the map/satellite view within the app disappeared. The prompts were there to enable switching between traditional map view and satellite etc but there was just a dark, blank box where the...

I guess that the logs must have shown the compass error but I didn't spot this. It was DJI who put their hands up, so to speak, and said that the equipment had failed and that it was a compass error failure - hence the replacement would be covered under warranty. I didn't think I had done...

You'll find quite a few threads on here with warnings about getting too close to water. I've only had my Mavic for a month or so but I live by a river and have a number of lakes on my land too. I find it much more difficult to maintain a constant height over the river when flying along it than I...

My MP arrived in early June. I had time for a few successful, short flights the evening it arrived. The following morning I started it up, took off, let it hover and then, without me touching anything it flew off at increasing speed and hit a brick wall 50m away. Badly damaged. Gutted, I was at...
