    Any perfectly leveled flat surface away from any magnetic field is what you need. Indoors or outdoors no problem. No more than 2-3 minutes time needed for calibration.

    It is your decision of what to do. But it is for sure problem to the locking mechanism. You just have to check it for a wire missconnection. Its a simple procedure if you want to do it. The only small difficulty is to separate the cover of the battery from the body cause of the double side...

    Battery Issue

    Hi. Saying that the battery is charging normally on the dock, and getting just a warning that is not connected properly, my mind goes to a misconnection problem in latch communication. As you know when one or both of the latches are not completely been return to their position upon placing the...

    Mavic Air Imu

    First try a clear firmware instalation. Make it through WiFi connection with controller and mobile connected (not through assistant2). Take care of possible magnetic interference at the point you try to do any work. If it is still under warranty you can get a refubrished one. If no, and no...

    mavic air range

    WiFi sometimes can be affected even of atmosphere high static charge and in many places around the world of the sun's ray activity. But be sure.. you got to fly without problems within LOS or a little further, and that's the safest way to do it. Because sending your precious drone too far away...

    mavic air range

    The range of the air1 depends on WiFi interference. So after adjust the system to fcc (using fake GPS) always check the frequencies board for the amount of interference. Choose the clear line next to the lowest green one if available. In a clear of interference environment the air 1 can achieve...

    Remote Controller Error

    Before doing anything else, try to check the magnetic field level on the place you are flying. It is common cause of such behavior. Also check out the existence of wifi's Interference. Change from 2.4 Ghz to 5.8 Ghz and see If the problem still remains. If all are clear, take a look at IMU's...

    APAS - Erratic Stationary Behaviour

    Definitely it is not a matter of IMU problem. Doing this only in APAS seams that something makes the sensors think that some obstacle there is in the direction of flight and the system tries to avoid. If MA1 flies normally in other mods all works good. Please first try to clean all sensors and...
