There are 57 days left to comment - if there is a fast consensus on doing this, we can get some of the drone youtubers engaged to get the word out. For now this is for consideration and comment. We need to group together with our concerns about Remote ID and propose a workable alternative or...

The battery sat on the charger all night before flying and then I had it in my pocket for about 2 hrs before flying

yes it was my battery that failed - the log at the beginning of the thread tells the tale

Well I'm out. All of my remaining gear is on Ebay if you want it, including the goggles. I simply can't rely on the batteries which makes any DJI drone an accident waiting to happen. Adios all - maybe I'll see some of you on a skydio forum

I followed all DJI recommendations for battery storage from the manual. The battery was fully charged immediately before use.

so if my battery was in bad shape - why didn't I get told!? If its being monitored, shouldn't it show up somewhere!?

So I had a mavic air. The battery being used was draining normally and I was videoing a ride up a narrow canyon road, with the drone out over the 500' cliff - very dramatic! and the drone hit 32% and then it gave me a "battery critically low error landing now" and the battery left read 0% -...

All: I use Autopilot's Follow Mode to follow me in a vehicle and am overall very happy with it. The one concern I have with it is the initial start, when I'm not moving the drone's initial position can be absolutely anywhere, sometimes coming very close to cliff edges or trees. Does anyone...

All: Is there some way to pause waypoint missions - simplist version would be to get some prompt on the phone to continue to the next waypoint?

DJI Introduces Voluntary Flight Identification Options For Drone Pilots That is a very interesting article and mentions the legitimate privacy rights of drone flyers - that needs to be clearly defined imo drone flyers can not have a right of privacy since they are using a shared resource...

My off-the-cuff thoughts as a relatively new flyer - I have been very responsible in where I fly and how. From looking at youtube videos of pilots, it appears to me that anonymity of the pilot enables bad behavior and that if drones would broadcast identifying information alot of the bad...

All: On a recent outing I took 6 video segments. On the 2nd of 6 the camera several times spasm'ed - and the autopilot app I was using crashed on my phone (a first) making me think the spasms and the crash are connected somehow - the other 5 flights are perfect. Has anyone else seen these...

All: I recently tried out Autopilot's Followme and had significant problems including a near catastrophe in water. I'm wondering if anyone has experience and can suggest how to get it to be more reliable. The one thing I can come up with is my phone - an Iphone 6. Anyone with experience with...

All: I'm trying to work up a sequence where I start with a follow, transition to a target and then transition back to follow. When I disengage autopilot to switch it resets the gimbal off my subject - I was wondering if there was some way to pick a mode directly while flying another to avoid...

All: I've got Autopilot and it cannot be used without the controller - does anyone know if Litchi works in phone wifi mode without the controller? For follow me-type missions where I'm close to the drone this would be a really convenient option to have.
