    Problem with DJI FlySafe Unlock Request Form

    In filling out the personal info for the authentication step for unlocking an NFZ (https://fly-safe.dji.com/account-manage/background-information) the form will not accept my phone number. More specifically, the phone field requires an area code prefix and, in the list of drop down area codes...

    What is a valid DJI Account?

    I live in close proximity to Missoula Airport in a restricted airspace. To fly my Mavic Pro in this airspace evidently requires a "valid DJI Account". I am in the process of applying for an exception and am informed that that could take up to 90 days for approval. So, I'm find with that. But...

    Practice, practice, practice.

    What a useful post. I took delivery of my MPP a few weeks ago and, having been a helicopter instructor pilot in the military, I decided to develop my own practice patterns (see below). I wish I had seen these practice exercises right away. When/if the wind dies down today, I'm going to give...

    Adventures in Droning - My first two flights

    My first flight was notable in that the drone was attacked by a falcon (prairie falcon to be specific). It didn't hit the drone because I was only 30 ft AGL and I practically autorotated to get it down but not before s/he made three passes at it. It was about a 20 minute flight altogether when...

    Focus Menu - Can't find it

    Thanks for the quick response. There seems to be some interesting options here: "Enable AFC Mode", "Focus Peaking Threshold". I'll try a quick flight and see if it all works. Cheers,

    Focus Menu - Can't find it

    Well, thanks, but I've tried that and all it does is toggle between AFC (auto focus, I presume) and MF (manual focus). Toggling AFC/MF doesn't appear to give me a menu to set the focus settings (e.g., depth of field).

    Focus Menu - Can't find it

    Took delivery of my MPP two weeks ago, updated everything. Went for a flight and everything was out of focus. No problem, I thought, went on Youtube found all kinds of videos about how to focus and watched a couple of the more recent ones. So, I thought, let's get this thing in focus. So, I...

    How long for IM calibration?

    Yes, I repositioned it each time. I finally got it to calibrate (I think) by rebooting everything. After than it made it through the first 4 steps and stalled on the 5th. The message at the bottom said 5/5, but it wouldn't complete. So, after 15 minutes on 5/5, I rebooted everything again and...

    How long for IM calibration?

    Did this ever get resolved? My screen is stuck on step 2 for the last 30 mins. Any thoughts appreciated.

Thanks be to all who've posted Youtube videos and other resources because the documentation supplied by...

    Compass Heading?

    Greetings, Havent' received my MPP yet so here's a quick question: how are the altimeter, airspeed, and compass heading displayed? For example, are they toggled on/off or are they permanently displayed? Thanks,

    New Drone Pilot - Missoula, MT

    Thanks for the quick response. Yes. I was referring to DJI Goggles. Also, elsewhere in the forums I asked the question about control. When two DJI Goggles are connected concurrently, which one is the master (if any is)? Thanks,

    DJI Goggles: Are they worth it???

    I've read that the Mavic Pro will support two goggles. If so, how is the gimble controlled? Is one a slave and the other the master? Thanks,
