Hi. I have an RM500 Smart Controller with a Mavic 2 Pro. I was getting whatever I recorded on the SD Card on the Drone (of course) and used to get the footage (lower res) on the SD Card on the Controller until recently. I started getting "Video Cach Full, unable to record" or something like...

Update from my previous post in August saying that I FOUND Course Lock in DJI Go 4. It WAS there a few months ago. . on the home screen. . on the left side of the screen. . under "HL" (Home Lock). . was "CL" (Course Lock). I USED it. Went to use it today and IT WASN'T THERE ANYMORE! Same drone...

Ya know. . I was posting here several times before I sent the drone in for service and specifically stated that I was concerned about updating the firmware and the overwhelming responses I got was not to sweat it and it's a "non-issue" which hasn't been the advice I was used to getting. . .and...

Hey Cymruflyer ~ thanks for the reply! And you're correct ~ I contacted DJI first. . they said right off the bat that they're in a "holding pattern" and wouldn't even be able to get any parts for months but to check back with them in 3 months to see where they're at. I ended up sending it to a...

Wow, beautiful stuff, thanks for the quick reply. . .I have a few Mavic 2 Pro's with Smart Controller. .I'm beginning to lose signal (first sign of video or RC signal losing a bar) around 1000' - 1500'. . which then turns into - 2 bars soon there after. . not that I'm a big "see how far away you...

Very cool looking video! Couple questions: 1) What was the farthest point that you were away from location? Looks like very good range for video/control signal. . 2) Were you using any intelligent flight modes like course lock, etc. or all just very good manual control to keep the train...

Hey Mavic3usa ~ Thanks for that link! Don't I feel like the fool. . .I've been looking under the "Intelligent Flight Modes" in the upper left corner of the screen. . FPV, Waypoint, etc. . and Course Lock isn't listed. . .but hey, glance down and there's a little circle with "CL" and under that...

I have a Mavic 2 pro. . .no course lock that I can find. .sad to say. .

Hey Felix! First, I'd love to see some of your footage. . youtube anywhere? Second: I highly doubt there's a cable that's loose. . I'd think if THAT was the case I'd get a LOT less range and if it was relatively easy to pop the bottom cover off and take a peek I'd do that but if disconnecting...

Hey Mike! Great post! I've been out of the drone flying for quite a while since I "updated" my Phantom 3 Advanced and it was never the same. . used to be rock-solid, great range, great stability, very predictable. . then it became WAY more headaches then fun, so I shelved it. Don't know how, but...

Okay, wow. .thanks for the explanation. . seems things have changed a bit since I was tearing up the sky with my then rock-solid Phantom 3 Advanced!

What's "the remote ID thing"? 🧐

Hey Felix ~ wow, now that's the kind of range I'd expect. . and I feel the same way. . I like to KNOW that I have that kind of range but don't really see using it but it's nice to be able to fly a distance away without constantly looking at your signal strength meters. I'm always Googling after...

Hey Felix! Not at all. . like I said, I'm learning. . Googled a bit. . ARB? Anti-Rollback? TOAL? Didn't even Google. .figure Take Off And Landing makes the most sense. . and I agree. And, if you're okay with Drone Hacks then I guess I would be too, but again, I'm gonna just leave it alone for a...

Hey Felix! First, thanks so much for the reply and for the valued Info! It's going to take me a little while to do some Googling to figure out exactly what you're saying 🤣 But I'm learning. . Might be a bit early to start asking questions before I completely understand your reply, BUT: 1) if...
