    Manually unfold props or spin out

    Isn't there something in the code that detects whether or not the props are unfolded? Thought I read some release notes for the DJI fly app. I would imagine that the gyro would detect vibrations upon spin-up and inform the user. Seems like something they could code.

    Litchi or Dronelink?

    What caused the crash? One can say I was drinking a Pepsi and crashed my drone so I'm never drinking Pepsi again :-)

    GPS icon - will it ever get fixed?

    Maybe I'm just old and losing my eyesight but I can't be the only one who has a hard time seeing how many satellites one is currently locked onto. Will DJI ever fix this? How many updates do we need addressing the battery? If they're so proud of the current GPS signal implementation and have no...

    DJI fly app

    I wish the GPS # of sat's # was bigger. I assume the GPS bars are based on HDOP? During a previous flight, I noticed what appeared to be some red color on the icon in the bottom center. Not sure if it was telling me that I was exciding pitch or speed limits. Anyone know if documentation exists...

    Mavic Air 2 battery firmware

    That sucks. I know the gopro camera has the word "Go" in it but lots of people use them for youtube and whatnot. I would expect one to be able to film at the advertised framrate/resolution without having to worry about the device overheating. Especially dangerous on a quadcopter.

    Reliability

    First time DJI owner with the MA2 and I get a processor overheating on my third flight and it auto landed shy of the home position and clipped some phone pole wires and cracked a few props. Why don’t they let you control pitch and roll in such cases. Overheating Seems specific to shooting 4K60...

    Mavic Air 2 battery firmware

    Yes, I dont think its battery related. I only mentioned the battery since that kept the drone on the ground without airflow while it was upgrading. However, I'd be curious to know how many people can let their mavic air 2's sit on the table in a climate controlled room and test 4K 60FPS...

    Chip Overheating...cant trust MA2 now.

    Just wanted to provide an update. Had a few more flights where I was mainly hovering around close by in case the overheating re-occurred but I didn't encounter it again. Still, didn't want to push it. Gave DJI a ring and told them about the issue. They asked me to confiirm that the fans were...

    Mavic Air 2 battery firmware

    Craft didn't feel hot or anything when it landed or at least I didn't notice anything. Here is the log. Wish we could read the .dat files. I'm sure they contain more detailed information: � Flight time Altitude Home Dist Type Notification A 00m 00s 0.0 ft 0 ft Mode ,%20click);']Mode...

    Chip Overheating...cant trust MA2 now.

    No not at all :) I was just trying to say that I couldn't seem to override the autoland and was checking if that was possible. Here are my logs: Flight time Altitude Home Dist Type Notification A 00m 00s 0.0 ft 0 ft Mode ,%20click);']Mode changed to P-GPS B 00m 00s 0.0 ft 0 ft...

    Mavic Air 2 battery firmware

    Yep, my batteries are numbered and being tracked with Airdata. Can't say I had a flight on this battery before but I may have had it in the drone while playing around with software settings and never noticed the firmware update til this morning before my problem flight with the overheating chip...

    Mavic Air 2 battery firmware

    Just had a flight where it started off with a firmware update being required for the battery I put into the drone. Later in the flight I got a chip overheated error. Not sure this is linked. Had a near crash. I put my other battery into the M2A and it didn't prompt for a firmware upgrade on that...

    Chip Overheating...cant trust MA2 now.

    Almost had a disaster on my third flight with my MA2. I have a small yard and like to reset the home point around 50 feet away from me as RTH freaks me out when it returns and it straight over head. Anyways I do my preflight checks and software says my battery needs a firmware update. I let it...
