    Mavic Pro 2 or wait for the Mavic Pro 3?

    Only you can decide, I'm still flying my Mavic Pro , I just purchased 4 new batteries since my first set of 4 are starting to puff after 3 years. So to keep me going until the Mavic 3 Pro Zoom 4K 60 comes out I'll just stick with my Mavic Pro with Stealth Props and all the other goodies .

    Have anybody done a proper testing of those rcgeeks 3blade props?

    The 3 blade will increase stopping ability, so you will have to soften that in your settings. No big deal. I fly free style quads 5" and 2 blades props are old school , 3 and even 4 blade get better bite therefore fly more predictable. The Mavic has no need for that since it's not a race...

    Vision Sensor Errors after firmware update

    Go into camera settings and un check over exposure setting. If it looks like zebra stripes when you exposure is to high on bright objects that should take care of that issue. It may have turned it on as default.

    Low noise propellers for mavic pro recommendations

    I’m using Master Airscrew all black. Stealth and very well made. Plus I get another 1&1/2 mph out of them . Very solid feeling in the air even in high wind.

    what best iphone for mavic 2?

    I would change your cable if your having problems with Your Galaxy S8. I have the GS8plus and it works Great . Uninstall and reinstall the go 4 app and use a different cable. Always best to use the large USB on the bottom of the controller vrs the side port.

    Clarification on iPad Mini 4 one more time

    I use a iPad mini 4 WiFi version. If your away from a WiFi area to pre load maps you can always use your cell phone as a hot spot and load maps from that connection. And if you use follow me mode or modes where you home is set to follow control rather then the spot it took off from . Then you’ll...

    Winter time battery storage

    Do not leave your batteries in the refrigerator. This is not good for these types of batteries. Go on you tube and check out many of the top dogs suggestions. They will all back up the statement of refrigeration storage being a bad way to store them. Check out Drone Valley. On you Tube. This guy...

    Max radius reached?

    Unfortunately without a connection to the Go 4 app your limited to having a shelf drone for a while , pretty much useless unless your plugged in to the app. So just to keep you busy for a title while, draw all your batteries down to 50% and Just know that when you hook up to your iPad mini , :I...

    Mavic Pro (Original) firmware update fails; now no fan; overheating

    As long as the parts are available I wont sweat it to much. But Im still keeping my fingers crossed so I dont start having bad solder joints appear after a year or so.

    Mavic Pro (Original) firmware update fails; now no fan; overheating

    Amazing, good read here for sure. Glad you were able to repair it yourself. Just think if that happens or happened to me I’d be screwed. I’d have to pay DJI a big buck to repair my MP. This is what worries me about buying the newer (Mavic 2 ) and then having troubles when the warranty runs out.
