    Bootloader recovery?

    I left it on for like an hour and it still wouldn't connect. Tried everything I could find on here before ordering a new board.

    Bootloader recovery?

    Is there any way to access the bootloader on the core board after a bad flash? My mavic went into the solid red mode, and would not connect to usb anymore (keeps reconnecting, shows as unknown device). I swapped the core board and got the drone back up and running, but I'm hoping someone has a...

    Need a gimbal screw

    Does anyone have a broken gimbal they can send me a single screw from, or know where I can order one? I lost one of the tiny screws that hold the ribbon covers on.

    RC battery mod ?

    Use the bottom USB port to connect your phone, and you can charge the controller with the side port at the same time. There's even an adapter that lets you use the AC battery as a USB power supply.

    DJI Goggles Antenna Mods

    Still need the remote to fly, but I can turn on only the Mavic and the goggles and get a video feed. Got it on ebay for under $200. There seem to be a few available.

    DJI Goggles Antenna Mods

    Probably not going to mess with the goggles much, I'd rather not drill into them if not absolutely necessary. I ordered a Nvidia K1 with HDMI out, so we'll see how much the lag bothers me - shouldn't be too much of an issue for long range flights since I'm not getting up close to anything.

    DJI Goggles Antenna Mods

    That's strange, do you have the RE goggles? I can view the camera through the goggles without ever turning the remote on. Running latest firmware.

    DJI Goggles Antenna Mods

    It definitely comes from the Mavic, unfortunately. I lose video to the goggles while the tablet still works.

    Either inside or on the back deck, depending on weather, with the antennas on the roof.

    DJI Goggles Antenna Mods

    Upon further teardown and research, it appears that my racing edition goggles have 6 antennas total, while the standard edition has 4 ( G1S1612 DJI Goggles Teardown Internal Photos Internal photo SZ DJI TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD ). Obviously the external SMA and one of the internals are for 5.8GHz...

    DJI Goggles Antenna Mods

    After ordering all the parts to do a boosted RC mod, this naturally seems like the next step. Unfortunately the goggles use a separate video feed directly from the Mavic, so will lose video before the RC does. The antennas are in the head band, with some form of RF connector on them. Modding...

    Mavic Radio Mods Primer

    I already had those antennas from a different project, so figured they were a good starting point, might build an antenna tracker if anyone ever figures out how to feed the Mavic's position to a 3rd party app. Not trying to go too high, just maximum distance without worrying about aiming...

    Mavic Radio Mods Primer

    Just to confirm I'm reading everything right, is this the optimal setup? I'd like to avoid modding the mavic itself if possible. 2x HG2409MGU-RSP 8W on RC right antenna 4W on RC left antenna amps attached directly to antennas, with 50ft LMR-400 between amps and RC 1.5W .DJI.configs to boost...
