It’s quite probable that the actual cause of the problem may remain a mystery. It’s good news that it’s a warranty repair though! In cases like this, they will analyze the damage and see if it will be cheaper to repair it or replace it. It’s almost always cheaper to repair, and they will send...

Good point, although as I stated it's the FAA that instigates those NFZs, not the Parks Service.

The NPS does not control airspace, never has, and hopefully never will. As long as you take off, land, and control from outside the park, they can’t govern what you do. However you then get into the whole VLOS rule which restricts how far outside the park you can be.

I was into r/c rock crawlers for a while (before I was into racing quads, but after I was into planes). Mine was based on an Axial SCX10 Honcho, but with bigger tires, different drivetrain, motor, suspension, and battery. It was pretty fun and would climb just about anything! I miss all my old...

It has been a while since I've posted on here or analized anything so I'm pretty rusty. It looks beyond me anyway, @sar104. It does have a lot of compass and speed errors, but I can't tell if they are a caues of the crash or merely the result of the abrupt changes in yaw. The pitch, roll, and...

This guy does not know our expert moderators! Quote: “Online forums, like MavicPilots.com, are filled with discussions among "amateur" drone builders. "Many actually give guidance on how to remove protections directly programmed into commercial off-the-shelf products,"

Yep, it appears that you never aquired enough satelites to establish the home point (thus the reason the map shows it in the ocean) or to maintain flight in GPS Mode with any consistancy. The AC switched into ATTI mode several times during the flight. In this mode, the Mavic merely stays level...

Heh, that is pretty good. Actually, the advise @InvisibleName gave is still applicable:D

This is one of my other favorites.

I thought that might be it, took me forever to get the hang of controlling yaw that way. I was pretty dizzy for a while;)

I have never used the DJI goggles, but I had the same thing happen in Litchi VR head tracking mode. With Litchi, when your turn your head, the Mavic will continue to rotate in that direction until you turn your head exactly back to its original heading. Then the Mavic will again fly straight...

This is one I got from the top of the 14er Sunshine, looking towards its brother Redcloud.

I would highly recommend against using them. Early on, I wanted to save a few bucks and ordered some 3rd party ones off Amazon. They had a 4.5 star rating, so I thought they would be fine. Long story short, two failed simultaneously at the rivits and my Mavic came down hard from about 60-75...

You can also format the SD card in the Mavic.

That and the Spork ;)
