    why is android a problem

    the other companies are not creating things from scratch.. they are using the SDK provided by dji and they are not perfect. your comments imply the apps around that use the sdk work wonderfully. many of them have issues. dji just happens to be slower on the release cycle.

    why is android a problem

    android is a nightmare, not because the hardware or the os are a problem, but ****** manufacturers doing bad software and the huge market segmentation make it really hard to do a good release. some times same android device (brand and model) have different hardware depending on country, not...

    New firmware: V01.03.0600

    Mavic pro battery & antenna mod!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    i had to respond to this because simply your use of "range extenders" is hilarious. the pcb antennas on the mavic remote are very crappy (even for a company you know and respect like DJI) their cheap antennas, by simple using other antenna geometries and make the beam more directional you not...

    Multiple Simultaneous Mavics

    i hardly doubt drone gun will authorized wildly, jamming GPS/Glonass may affect services that will cause way worse damange that a drone flying around. here in europe having a device that will block GPS will land you in jail instantly.

    dronedeploy is also a good option for mapping, they do cloud processing and have a free account type.

    little cheap case for controller.

    i just found out that my Arnette sunglasses case fit the mavic controller perfectly, and it also fits back into the mavic flymore bag protecting the controller a little bit more and not forcing the sticks.
