I have done this a few times, usually during transfer of footage to PC, I remember to plug in the USB but forget to take off the gimbal cover before starting up. As I am not connected to the controller or go4 app I get no messages, but all seems OK. I am tending not to use the cover unless...

I have a similar problem, after update using pc, all went well, but on location I boot up and get an inconsistent firmware pop up saying the controller needs updating. Important shoot so I cancelled the pop up. The aircraft flew perfectly even tested precision landing. Got home and connected to...

Like you I am a 70 year old keen photographer and have had bad experience with drones. I swore I would never buy another. But I bit the bullet and bought the Mavic 2 zoom last month, and it is greatly improved over the Phantom that I lost due to a fly away about four years ago. I need to use...

Hi, Many thanks for all the help and advice. Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you all, we have had some bad weather in this part of the world. I have now mounted my Ipad on a camera tripod, so I only have the controller in my hands. I also found that in order for the T.P.S switch to...

Many Thanks for your video, I had already reduced the EXP settings, but the yaw endpoint I have yet to find. Please correct me if I am wrong but I believe these settings only work in Normal/Position mode. I do not think extending the length of the sticks will help in my case as my hand jitters...

Thanks for all your replies, have not been able to fly due to the stormy weather along the east coast of Australia. I have been experimenting with mounting the controller on a camera tripod to try to keep things a little steadier. Keep you posted when the weather improves.

Hi very informative video, had watched it previously, not sure I fully understood it. I have so far only had the mavic 2 for a day or so. I did adjust the exp and that sort of worked. My hand movements are similar to where you described the movement of the tail rotor on your helicopter. I have...

Hi, recently bought a mavic 2 zoom. Unfortunately I have Parkinson's and struggle to control my hands when flying. Is there any way to lower the overall sensitivity of the stick controls so that my small involuntary hand movement could be ignored. I especially have problems with slow yaw while...

I had a flyaway with a phantom 2 about 4 years ago when the controller battery died and the return to home did not work. DJI blamed me for not setting the home point correctly. I live in Australia so could not take legal action against DJI, but did seek a claim in the local small claims court...
