    Can't post to Facebook-wrong data format

    It is a DJI.mov file and is 1.19GB. Tried to upload it here but got a message saying it's too large. Finally did get it to upload to FB, but the video quality is HORRIBLE. Grainy and pixelated, completely different than the actual crystal clear video. ????

    Gimbal settings won’t save

    No, I was trying to set them while indoors watching YouTube with my iPhone and controller, and the drone off and not connected. If I set them while the Mavic Pro is on and ready to fly, will those settings save until I change them again, or will I have to set them again? Same for EXP settings.

    Gimbal settings won’t save

    I’ve tried to set my gimbal settings (after watching various tutorials on YouTube) and none of them will save to when I open the app again. Isn’t there a way to set them and leave them? Also can’t save EXP settings, even going from one to the other. What am I doing wrong? Is it because I need to...

    Mavic Pro takes off (and got lost) after iphone shuts down

    That's the problem. The controller said it was disconnected from the drone as soon as the phone shut down. Even so, my husband tried bringing it back anyway with the toggles as I ran inside to charge my phone. We calibrated it's GPS correctly before the flight. I haven't turned on my controller...

    Mavic Pro takes off (and got lost) after iphone shuts down

    Was in visual sight. My iphone died (so did the app) and my fingers were off the toggles on the controller. Drone took off out of sight as I stared at my dead phone and my controller. Tried to bring it backwards towards me with toggles but to no avail. It was only up 300 or so ft. See photo

    Mavic Pro takes off (and got lost) after iphone shuts down

    Yes, tried "Find my Drone" immediately, but the app said "disconnected" and only showed the location where the drone last had communication with the controller, the picture in my post. I saw the drone fly way past that location.

    Lost Drone Recovery & Precautions

    My phone died due to cold, the app shut down, and the drone just took off on it's own. Isnt' it supposed to immediately fly home when there is a problem? We set the gps. It's also 28 degrees outside, so I'm sure the battery in the drone died to. Tried using the find my drone function in the app...
