Thank you okw! That was exhaustive Information and I appreciate that! With that information, I don’t see why I would want to purchase a cinewhoop. No gps, atti mode, etc. What would be the advantage of having a cinewhoop? I have heard that DJI may be releasing a cinewhoop in July or August, and...

And what does it mean ‘without any stabilization from the flight controller’? Does this mean stabilization not dependent on GPS? I’m very new to this cinewhoop thing! I’m looking for an AC the can fly smoothly indoors (real estate photography). Thank you!

I’m not understanding the lack of manual control of the drone. Will it become necessary to create waypoints for it to fly? Please someone educate me on this!

P-static or precipitation static. I have an ASA study guide for the Part 107. On page 2-27, it mentions p-static and how it can effect communication with a UAS and control station. I’ll quote the following from the manual: “P-Static can also disrupt Communications between the sUAS and the...

Crap! I’m a bit rusty at this forum thing and wondered if I was replying to myself. Thanks for the reply sar104. When I performed the calibration, it was successful according to the app. Before all this happened, I would stand directly behind the Mavic with the controller mirroring it’s forward...

I just compared my magnetic compass the compass app. Spot on!

Yes, I tried that! I have a compass app that is quite accurate so the phone compass should be correct.

Thanks for the reply sar104. When I performed the calibration, it was successful according to the app. Before all this happened, I would stand directly behind the Mavic with the controller mirroring it’s forward orientation. Without moving the controller, I would yaw the AC and the radar would...

Have the same issue! About 15 degrees off to the left. Can’t calibrate the compass no matter what and where I try. Watched numerous YouTube videos concerning this and to no avail. The only thing I can think of is a hardware malfunction of the compass.

I recently moved from DE to NC. When I first took flight with my Mavic Pro in NC, I saw that the compass needed to be calibrated. So as per instructions, I attempted to recalibrate. No luck! Tried everything, but still not able to correct this. One time, with Mavic’s nose pointing away from me...

I’m a bit confused about the FPV thing. FPV is ‘First Person View’ and that means piloting your UAS via the onboard camera. When I search anything FPV, I always come up with drone racing. I don’t want to race. I want to get answers on how to navigate a UAS via the onboard camera. Let’s say I...

I reside in Ellendale DE and I'm wanting to form a drone club for those in Sussex and Kent county DE. Anyone interested please email me at [email protected]. I am fairly new to drone flying (a little over a year), and have a Mavic Pro. Cheers!

Hey CC, I live in Ellendale (Ellendull). I have a Mavic Pro and want to get together with other MP owners. I have been looking for a 'drone' club so to speak and found none. But then it occurred to me to start up a club. My name is Tom and I can be reached at 443-366-7546 or at...

I have seen too many posts about MP flyaways, crashes, etc., and wonder how much wind comes into play rather than technical issues. Whether manned aircraft or unmanned, wind can be your worst enemy!!! Wind can vary greatly at surface and aloft. A wind at surface level from the SW at 5 mph can...

VLOS is quite tricky. One day VLOS maybe @100', the next day 30' or less. So many variables that can affect that. Best thing I can come up with is keeping an eye on AC telemetry via RC controller, coupled with the use of binoculars (I know, not true VLOS according to the FAA). Also, remember...
