    Litchi VR goggles focus

    Hi no the image looks fine if I view IT directly on the screen, but the OSD text is 'blurry' when viewed through the goggles. It isn't "fuzzy" like out of focus, more like a dual image. Maybe the OSD text spacing isn't correct? I don't know why viewing a YouTube FPV image though the same...

    Litchi VR goggles focus

    Hi has anyone had any problems when using the Litchi app with FPV VR goggles and getting the OSD text to focus properly? I can get the image itself in pretty good focus but the OSD text data (speed altitude etc) I can not get it to focus clearly, seems whatever I do I get a double/blurry text...

    Starting the air without it ready to fly - ok or no?

    Where did you hear that?? I wish it were true, as it would seem a simple thing for DJI to have in place. A couple of times I was just testing stuff in my home, started the MA but "forgot" to pull off the gimbal cover.. and got the warning message.

    DJI Goggles? Or is there something better?

    For my MA (similar for the MP?) I bought the Litchi app (~$30), stuck my smartphone into a cheap (~$25) VR case, and fly my Air around like that! The Litchi FPV app even controls the up-down camera angle based on my head movement. Not BAD for so cheap! I've never used or even seen the DJI...

    Hello from Barrie, ON, Canada

    Hello from Keswick Ontario "across the pond" LOL Interestingly enough, when I bought the Mavic Air I sold my previous camera drone (a Yuneec Q500 4K) to a guy in Barrie :D

    Anti-glare screen protectors for iPad Mini 1,2 or 3.

    I've also ordered an anti-glare screen protector for my tablet (Asus Zenpad) but it hasn't shown up yet,, am eager to see how it works! I'd really like to also hear some actual testimony from anyone who already tried one of these things either on their tablet or their phone. It "seems" like a...

    Buying my MA today - what color

    Base color doesn't matter,,., if "unique" is important to you, you can overlay the whole drone (& remote!) with a custom skin sticker kit & have any color you want.. .. and then change those stickers every couple of weeks for an entirely new look each time :D

    Few annoying issues on my Mavic Air

    Just wondering about your frequent compass calibrations... I calibrated mine once when I got it & never have been prompted to do it again. Had it for about 1.5 months, and OK I do mostly fly from the same area. ..do you by any chance have a bunch of other high powered electronics "nearby" each...

    iPad Pro 12.9" Mount/Holder

    I just bought one of these for my 9.7" Asus tablet, and looks to me the mount should be able to handle 12.9" https://www.amazon.ca/Lekufee-Lightweight-Aluminum-Alloy-Foldable-Controller/dp/B071GV74L7/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1525092813&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=dji+tablet+holder&psc=1 I like...

    Red or Black?

    I initially ordered a RED, but turned out RED was heavily back-ordered several weeks. So,, I bought a WHITE one that I was able to get right away. And, white is actually perfect. Because.,... there are lots of places selling custom skins (full body stickers) for the MA, and you can have any...

    Samsung Galaxy Tab S 8.4 as a tablet for Mavic Air

    Welcome to the club :( I have the same Galaxy Tab S 8.4 and have been frustrated by the screen smearing and artifacting when using the Go 4 app... it makes the tablet unusable. And yes the specs on this tab are very impressive despite it being 4 years old.. I've resorted to shopping around...

    Finally found a decent (compatible) tablet for a decent price

    I'm buying a Asus Zenpad 3S 10 and am hoping it is going to work with my MA. It is a 9.7" screen and I do have one of those tablet mounts for my controller. The Zenpad 3S is not a new model, so is a lot cheaper than some other current models.,. ... I'm also wanting to try adding a...

    Discharging batteries quickly URGENT

    good question though, What is the fastest way to discharge the batteries? The Air has a USB adapter that you can use to charge up other stuff like your phone or even the remote. Does that Pro have that option? That still takes time, but does handily discharge the batt.. I guess discharging by...

    Sd cards

    That card might work fine for still photos and lower FPS videos & if that's all you want to do then you're good to go :) But try recording some 4k video on it & see if it can keep up.
