The Atlas comes with adapters to attach the omnidirectional antennas to the Atlas box. You can unscrew those adapters and use them on the directional antenna too. That's how I'm doing it.

I've used it both ways actually, it works well either way, of course range is better when its on the Atlas. Also, I found the antenna too big to fit in my densely packed Mavic hard case, so I... broke it in half! It has no wires in the middle, it just has this expanding plastic thing so you can...

I need to save at least $300 before I feel like maybe DIYing something. My time is simply too valuable to me and money is not a significant constraint for me either.

What are you talking about? I paid $53 for the antenna we were just talking about and it has been totally worth it. Better range than I had before.

The antenna works pretty well. Need to do some more specific testing away from my wifi-infested neighborhood, but even there it improved my distance. Hope to share specific numbers soon.

It happens to me too and I am not aware of a fix. It's just another example of poor software quality.

Really wish I could tell you. When I bought them on eBay, the only shipping option available was "FedEx SmartPost", which apparently is a code name for "the slowest possible shipping method in modern history": a full 12 days to go from NJ to WA. In short, they still haven't arrived yet, but...

That's so weird! I have 4 batteries and they all feel exactly the same when I snap them in, with a very solid "click". I've tried pulling up / to the side / wiggling it out on all 4 and was totally unsuccessful. Maybe there is a portion of MPP's that have a slightly misshapen latch or something?

This is my guess: The MP and MPP are basically identical except for ESCs, however, the MPP's firmware is just slightly out of sync with the MP's firmware, because they haven't sync'd firmware releases for them yet (because the MPP is so new). If this is true then at some upcoming firmware...

For the record, I've had zero issues with my MPP and DJI Go 4. (Well, I shouldn't say zero issues, but the issues I have been having are the same issues people tend to have with the non-Platinum mavic.)

Battery lock on my Platinum has been fine. And I don't see any excessive stress on the props, they appear fine to me.

If you truly are logged into the exact same Apple account on both devices, then it definitely did not charge you twice. When you first log into an Apple account on a new-to-you device and install an app, it is normal for them to verify your credit card number, just once.

As someone who has written a lot of end-user product documentation, I can tell you that your assumption is incorrect. Most people do not give a product's documentation more than a 1 second glance before getting to the meat of whatever product it is that they bought. And that 1 second only...

Which is a terrible way of helping new users figure out which app to install. Why does DJI assume that anyone looking at their apps knows the chronological release history of their drones?

It's only been 1 business day since I ordered them. They should get here some time this week.
