    Recording Video - very jerky

    I was hoping for some insight. I've had my Mav 3 pro for over a month now. I downloaded my video clips and when playing them, the video jerks kind of like a minute hand on a watch. I can also notice it when I am recording and looking at my controller. It's really jerky? Any ideas? Do I have a...

    3 Assortment from the summer of 2024 in my Mav 3 Classic

    Thank you. I used the circular one that you can turn up or down. It's just a matter of getting it dialed into the right polarization.

    It's nice to take photos of beautiful lakes and two of my favorite southern Lake Michigan Lighthouses.

    When Drones Go Rogue

    I appreciate all the comments and willingness to help me get to the bottom of the rogue drone. After this incident, it never flew the same. I would be out on Lake Michigan, or Lake Geneva trying to take off and it would not allow me to because I had to recalibrate the compass. So I would proceed...

    When Drones Go Rogue

    I was having compass calibration issues with it. It wasn't the first time. It would act up after being on the boat for a few hours with me. The only thing I can think of is that I normally jump over a ton of waves and I think it got affected by the the jolts from the waves. Even though I kept it...

    When Drones Go Rogue

    I am pretty good about the battery. I had no choice but to set her down. I used that find my drone, its kind hard to use. You get an idea of where, but it does not tell you to walk to the left or right. When I was walking it wasn't even moving. Have you used yours? Your MP4 dropped like a rock...

    I thought I had purchased a new Mav 3 Pro

    That's OK LoudThunder. I could use your writing skills though. I first produced a movie, When drones go rogue" Next will be the book. But check out the movie in the General Forum.

    When Drones Go Rogue

    You have some good writing skills. Can I borrow you for my next book? "When Drones Go Rogue" My drone did go rogue about a week after this incident. However, I had control of it, but I had no idea where on Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, it was. It's a big lake. The battery was getting down to 8%, so I...

    Water Damage to Drone and Controller REPAIR

    My initial bill to repair my Lake Michigan water-logged Mav 3 Classic and DJI remote controller was $1,068. The guy at DJI took 40% off that repair price which lowered it to $645. He told me I would receive a brand new drone. If he had told me it would be repaired and sent back to me for the...
