    max distance issue

    I run a version of the app which operates the RC and aircraft in FCC mode to get max distance. Also I feel some of the more recent features deliberately tone down the signal strength over certain distances. I had occasions where I could fly 20000 feet away, then on newer firmware after three or...

    Controller Calibration shows left stick permanently of by 4 to 6.

    Thanks bob, degaussing the RC worked and got the left stick back reading correct values. It was magnets in my tablet/tablet case that were throwing it off. Over time, tablet/case had altered the magnetic behaviour in the direction of the tablet, permanently, without the influence from magnet...

    Controller Calibration shows left stick permanently of by 4 to 6.

    Okay I've had a little go with a magnet degaussing the remote, it has improved it but not completely removed the issue. As much as keep trying to further degauss it doesn't make the issue any better beyond a certain point. Should I keep trying to degauss see if can get it that last bit or do I...

    Controller Calibration shows left stick permanently of by 4 to 6.

    I'm with you on that Aussie, the thing is I've tried calibrating with the tablet a good distance away from the rc, seems not to make any difference. Think maybe the magnets in the tablet have thrown off some of the magnets around the stick. Not too sure how to resolve but will keep fiddling with it.

    Controller Calibration shows left stick permanently of by 4 to 6.

    I have a very similar issue right now, did you get any progress on this? Does anyone have any suggestions. Controller won't reach 100 percent in remote calibration graphic, in the lower hslves, during the calibration. However in the pre calibration graphic exactly the same it does reach 100...

    Mavic maximum range in europe

    I have had 18000 feet, 36000 feet in total (18000 out and 18000 back. But now I have the altered version of dji go 4 app, version 4.1.3 which is linked in videos on YouTube by simi travels which unlocks FCC mode no matter where you are in the world. Its exactly the same app, just that one slight...

    IMU Status

    Hi jake, I have experienced this also, my accelerometer readings are the same after cold Imu calibration, but after further flights the read out for accelerometer bias for accelerometer 1 is 0.016 and for accelerometer 2 it is 0.002. I have not noticed any effect from this and flew 18000 feet...

    Firmware update v01.03.0900

    Still was most likely light related. Basically when "in changing light conditions" i.e going in and out of clouds or whatever, the sudden change in light can trigger the obstacle avoidance system. This is why on distance flights I prefer to disable obstacle avoidance as it stays on when in RTH...

    Cannot calibrate remote control

    Yeah that's basically all I did just kept turning aircraft on and off aswell and it was letting me recalibrate controller with aircraft on which was not normal. I just get worn down with the issues, must have had 15 different little glitches to solve on this machine and was like a dream before...

    How to stop remote control charging your phone.

    Lol i think he means he stripped the cable and cut the internal black wire but I'm really not sure! Surely they can firmware this issue out in some way

    Yaw drift problem and solution

    Thanks for the tips, my yaw drift seems to be a lot less after calibration and compass one and two seem in closer sync, hesitant to try degaussing again as don't want to mess things up. I will try looking again at how the compass interference numbers change when rotating the mavic, and see if...

    Cannot calibrate remote control

    Actually no rant not over, they have pissed me off. It really shouldnt let you calibrate controllers when aircraft is powered on but it did for me, and playing around with that behaviour is basically what seemed to change beahviour to let me get a normal calibration done and return the stick...
