    Mavic keeps disconnecting

    Sorry I meant to be responding more to original poster. Don't see any videos just a picture or two. Logic is that many/most connectivity issues are caused by device or cable. This is based on much experience of myself and others, and trial and error Never had issues with DJI's cables, but I...

    Mavic keeps disconnecting

    I had that issue before with my phone - using a dedicated device (ipad mini 4, or samsung 7" tablet) fixed all those issues for me. I also had to go through a ton of research and trial-and-error with cables. One company on Amazon sent me like 3 or 4 replacements, until I realized its just not...

    Mavic Pro features vs. Mavic Air?

    Great, another great drone that I most certainly do not require. But I know somehow I will end up with this thing. It does look pretty **** amazing. I own the Spark and Mavic Pro already but still...

    Compass failure, mavic still in P-GPS and crash.

    The manual just tells you to do it, as its good to do it once right out of the box. However it is not necessary and I flew without calibrating. I get the errors whenever there is too much metal or electronics nearby, you might be in a bad location... You have tried in other locations far away...

    Low noise prop cause abnormal gimbal vibration

    Yeah it happened to me again, but it seems to be vibrating immediately upon take-off and hover. Once you start flying around it seems to go away. Of the 3 times I had the abnormal gimbal vibrations, only once did the app warn me about it.

    Dealing with pests

    This is common with RC and drones. Same questions too. The passive-agressive adults asking if I am spying on neighbors are my favorite. I always explain the whole "zoom problem" to people who are concerned about their privacy, that I would need a much more expensive drone to spy on them...

    Mini USB port on Mavic

    [deleted] I'm with Iocoman. Bit baffled by this post.

    Compass failure, mavic still in P-GPS and crash.

    I have these issues all the time and never lost control of my Mavic. When you get compass calibration and GPS issues that cannot be resolved by moving locations, you need to simply fly the drone back to safety. The crash was totally unrelated and likely due to the pilot panicking. Also if...

    Low noise prop cause abnormal gimbal vibration

    The ESC's are indeed tuned differently, they are different ESC's alltogether if I remember correctly. This is why I think buying the battery and props isn't enough. DJI hasn't been clear on that as they want the extra sales. Accessories have big profit margins.

    Low noise prop cause abnormal gimbal vibration

    Also experienced this yesterday when testing out new platinum props. They did not reduce the noise very noticeably. But they worked fine for a full run of a 60% battery. Then I went out a little bit later to fly, and experienced the abnormal gimbal vibration. Immediately swapped back to...

    So I bought one pair of 8331 props..

    I got mine and have been testing them out. Not noticing much of a difference at all. Very annoying trying to find a thread in this forum discussing the actual props. Search function finds mostly all closed threads from people anticipating whether or not to buy the props. Don't want to start...

    Platinum Battery

    I actually was wondering the same thing. Because DJI's website only lists Mavic Pro Platinum under Compatibility. Besides the props and battery the platinum has different ESC's correct? So getting the platinum battery will just give a few extra protection and telemetry features. along with a...

    Real Estate shots

    Yes, these aren't easily removable. Big heavy wooden signs. The listing agent is who asks for the shots and I have told them to attempt to ask me for shots prior to putting signs up but its not usually possible. The camoflage/tarp idea is great. Will have to concoct something I can use for...

    Real Estate shots

    Just a random question for anyone else who is doing commercial shots for real estate or anything similar: How do you get around rules regarding advertising in photos? For example, MLS listings require no shots of the real estate sign in the front yard or along the street. This causes tons of...
