    My Theory- DJI is using the Platinum Esc board for recent Mavic Pros

    This is an interesting topic. CyberNate, what was the manufactured date on your original and new MP? I got a couple MP on hands at the moment and they all have different manufactured date on them. They are all brand new so I can't take them out to test fly but I can keep one for my own.

    Mavic Pro serial number comparison

    Oh so now your drone has an R which is easy to tell that it is a refurbished. The link mentions mainly about date code which I already know. Just like okw stated, his drone was purchased new from an authorized dealer and it also starts with 08QUE. From what I found and observed, most MP will...

    Mavic Pro serial number comparison

    Thanks for the link. I will check that out. As for an R in serial number, that is not the case anymore. I believe the old Phantoms will have R to indicate refurbished. Phantom 4 and newer models will not have R at the end in serial number anymore which makes it harder to tell which one is...

    Mavic Pro serial number comparison

    Hey all, I am able to get my hands on a couple of Mavic Pro and I am picking out one to keep for my own use. I sold my old Mavic a couple weeks ago and got the P4P+ but I just don't feel it is the right drone for me so I am going back to the good old Mavic. Most serial numbers on the Mavic...

    iPad 9.7 or larger + tablet holder on Mavic is possibly causing interference?

    Thanks for the input guys. It's interesting to know that new iPad models have magnetic edges. I always have the USB cable on my right as well. I believe that the aluminum case is acting the same way as the windsurfer boosters do. In fact, I've found that windsurfers decrease performance on my...

    Question on ISO and Shutter Speed.

    From what I see, the OP is only interested in shooting stills. Why are others throwing a bunch of complexity to the table to make it more confusing? In short, for drone stills, you want lower ISO and faster shutter speed to freeze movements. Unless you want to do long exposure, then that is...

    iPad 9.7 or larger + tablet holder on Mavic is possibly causing interference?

    I have been using my iPad 9.7 for a month now. I don't fly far like I used to but I flew my drone out to the point where my drone was out of range yesterday. I noticed that my drone did not get as far as it used to. If I fly with my phone on the tablet holder, I normally get about 2600m in...

    Thinking about buying Mavic Pro Refurbished.

    Buying refurbished is a good option but the price is still higher than used ones. Some people have used ones and even combo + extra stuff for sale here at a very low price. If you are ok with refurbished price which is $799 and that is for the drone only. Now, you buy another battery say at $70...

    Using drone to do work

    Looks like you did it. I would put the Mavic in tripod mode next time so that it is more stable and much slower so that you have more time to react.

    The power of ND filters

    Those 2 vids look good. Good ND filters don't have any color cast on footage. It's possible that you have a ND/PL filter. PL filters will enhance color and eliminate reflection from foliage, water, metallic surfaces and glasses. If set at the right angle, you will notice a true, deeper blue in...

    assist with samsung galaxy s2 tablet

    From my experience using Android devices, you have to close all other apps first. If you have opened DJI GO (Not DJI GO 4) or Litchi before, you have to force stop it. You cannot have DJI GO (for products before P4) and DJI GO 4 running at the same time. One has to be force stopped. And you have...

    Now... I hate my Mavic

    I find this thread funny. I don't know why people are doing Android vs iOS war here again. I am an Android fan but I have no problem using iOS devices. I bought my very first iPad simply just because DJI is favoring iOS and I have to say that the iPad gives me a better flying experience. That is...

    Now... I hate my Mavic

    I have gone through P3 Standard, Advanced, Pro, P4, Mavic and P4 Pro, I have to say that there are always bugs in each update. My .02 is that if you are happy with your current firmware, don't update. If it doesn't break, don't update. If DJI doesn't force you to update, don't update. Apple...

    Loss of connection between Mavic Drone and Controller

    It's good to know that you are able to solve the issue by simply reinstalling the App.

    Loss of connection between Mavic Drone and Controller

    One more thing that I would like to add, since you stated that you still have control of the drone, you basically just loose video feed. I remember that I ran into similar issue with my Phantom 3 Pro which I used DJI GO (Before Phantom 4) and the app froze and lost all video. I highly think it...
