    why i'm NOT buying the Mp2, any others not buying?

    The ultrasonic sensor error I get all my flights is also my fault, right? The gimbal reset and freaking out midflight is just an idiot pilot causing it too? No, I'm not going to buy the Mavic Pro Beta. I'm done with DJI.

    Will you keep your Pro when you get your Pro 2?

    I will try to sell mine when I get my Autel Evo. No more DJI for me.

    Ultrasonic sensor error and battery self-discharge in storage messages

    I'm also getting this "Ultrasonic sensor error" 100% of my flights. It started for apparently no reason, but I can't get rid of it no matter what I try. I decided to turn the downward sensors off and just live with it, but lately I am getting this error even when all sensors are off. I noticed...

    Guy jumps into lake, swims to save drone

    If this is not fake, I think he wouldn't mind to upload the flight logs to prove it, right? Someone's gotta find this guy. :D

    Guy jumps into lake, swims to save drone

    Apparently the aircraft went out of power while flying over a lake. A pretty close call... Liveleak.com - EPIC Drone save over water!!

    Export flight log for use in GIS (ArcMap)

    I don't use it very often, but when I need my flight path I just upload the flight records to airdata.com It generates a KML and you can download it and use wherever you want.

    3d mapping with the mavic

    You can keep using a free version after that, of course, with some limitations. If I recall, regarding the area size, project resolution and only 2D modelling. But then, if DroneDeploy app work well for you, you can keep using it only to get the imagery and let the processing step with the...

    3d mapping with the mavic

    Pix4dCapture and Drone Deploy app are both free for iOs. MapsMadeEasy also has its own app for capturing (only iOS version, about $10). Altizure is also free.

    3d mapping with the mavic

    Yes it is. But once drone deploy offers a trial with full features I was thinking about use D.D. to get the images and do the 3d processing as well. After that I'll just use D.D. with mapsmadeeasy. D.D. pricing is way too much for small private work purposes like mine.

    3d mapping with the mavic

    I will give it a try. I just didn't want to use it right away because it has a free trial period (30 days) with some good features so I wanted to make sure I'll be using it when I was more familiar with 3d mapping. But it seems superior to altizure indeed.

    3d mapping with the mavic

    I've been trying Altizure app for capturing and Maps Made easy for the stitching process. The app is simple, free, works ok at a first glance, but then you get pictures out of focus most of the flights, so you may end up losing all the work and wasting time repeating missions. Too bad maps...

    Losing the will with dji care

    A good example of how lack of competition can hurt consumers. If only you could've said "alright I'll take my business elsewhere". But instead, you had to buy another product. From the very same company.

    Mavik Pro slams to ground after firmware update

    In my case, the sensors are always on, all of them; it is an error. It just says "Ultrasonic sensor error. Land immediatly.". I've been reading some threads about this issue, but so far I still haven't found the solution. It seems to fail during the flight, when Mavic goes higher than ~30ft...

    Mavik Pro slams to ground after firmware update

    I don't know if my case is similar to yours but... Recently I am getting an "ultrasonic sensor error", but in the first time I didn't even noticed what was that about, so I proceeded to land normally, pulling left stick all the way down, and mavic just slammed pretty hard int the ground and got...

    Altizure out of focus, how to fix it?

    I just tested the app for the first time today (Altizure for DJI, not the Altizure Beta). So you mean you can tap that little screen with the video stream and it will focus? And how do you pause the mission in mid flight?
