This falls right in with a recent experience my wife and I had. We shot an outdoor wedding and I used my Mavic pro prior to the wedding to "set the stage" in the video; that is, give the viewer an insight of the venue, the outdoor setup and the scenery around the venue. I mentioned that, of...

This is a very old thread, but looks like it has been revived. I personally use RTH pretty much every flight because I just love to watch the little dude do its thing all on its own. Of course, unless I've lost VLOS, I always watch it because stuff can go wrong. Mine did a precision landing...

I'm kinda thinking my 400 foot limit suits me just fine. $1000 is just too much for me to fool around with like that.

First, it's no secret that DJI likes and caters to ios. It's also no secret that they provide DJIGo4 for Android as well. We use a Samsung 10 in. Tab A with our Pro 1 and it works fine since I accidentally fixed our gimbal control problem by clearing the cache on GO4 in the tablet. My problem...

My software (4.3.14) shows the RTH altitude both ways, marked M and ft. I keep it set around 130 ft (well above all the pine trees in the area), and when I hit RTH, it goes to that altitude, unless it was higher prior to executing RTH. I always use RTH when the light is sufficient because I...

When we first started flying our Mavic Pro, we had this problem. In our case, it was simple once I figured it out. We were using a round table about 3 feet tall with a cross on it made from black tape. The MP figured out that it was trying to land on a surface that had a drop off on every...

OH man, I would PAY to be a part of THAT conversation. ?

You know, as I've been reading these posts, it would seem to me that the only way DJI could accomplish this is if my Samsung Tab A (what I use with the RC) were to connect at startup, connect to DJI and download any NFZ info. If that's true, then I'm thinking that, if you took something like my...

I'm a bit confused here. You are using the iPhone cable? Plugging that into the small port on the left side of the RC? I believe it actually needs a Micro USB cable. In any case, the cable supplied with the charger (about 12-18 inches long) is the one you want to use. Plug the large...

I'll certainly do that. We are going to do a wedding for a friend. Most of it will be done with our normal ground cameras, but we plan to do a couple shots with the drone. Thanks for the info.

Brett, are you pretty sure about that? Like, if I kill the dronie before it gets to the assigned altitude, no video is saved? That is a very important piece of information, and I was not aware of that. That could be serious if I did a helix or dronie at a wedding and decided to cut the...

Man, I can totally identify with Gremlin16 on this. As someone else mentioned, you just keep twisting it every way possible and suddenly, it works. (Unless I finally destroy the thing in a fit of rage :).)

Yeah, as a computer guy, what I've discovered is that very few updates fix more than they mess up. And we hear about firmware updates gone awry over and over on this forum. It will be just fine with me if they leave my Pro 1 alone. It's working just fine, and if I do an update, there's a fair...

Good call, Camino. I have a $300 repair bill from DJI proving that the sensors didn't stop our Mavic Pro from hitting a wall. "Testing" this is crazy unless you have a bunch of money laying around to use for kicks. And yes, I was "testing" mine. How did it happen? I was slowly approaching...

Fair enough. I sometimes get weary of folks immediately assuming the worst about the drone pilot. In the environment described here, I get the impression that the police are pretty much "locked and loaded" and just waiting to jump on someone, although that, too, is just an impression and not...
