    Watch movies from 4K smart tv into goggles

    You need something that has an HDMI output like a cable box or a dvd/bluray player or satellite box or ROKU or PC and stuff like that. I would not expect your TV has a video output, and the goggles can't receive a video stream over wireless except from the Mavic etc.

    New controller unresponsive or user error?

    You could also try turning on the craft and just moving the sticks, and the camera gimbal should move a small but noticeable amount. You can also use the stick calibrator in the settings menu of the go app to see if the sticks work.

    Actual Starting Altitude Ceiling

    Its seems to be true that VRE does not apply to the Mavic due to its huge thrust to mass ratio. I know of no reports of this ever happening to the Mavic.

    Help with firmware upgrade version

    I have read that one major drawback of using 1.4.1 is that DJI has removed user access to flight logs. While it may one day be possible to again downgrade older Mavics, the newer Mavics have a significant hardware change that prevents using old firmwares. PANO can be achieved quite easily and...

    Are the Time Stamp settings in controller or drone adjustable?

    Nice blind shot! :-) WE can assume the date and time is pulled from the phone, although I thought it was pulled from the GPS system, but in ay case I have seen that datestamp error, sometimes it is in the future too! As far as the login, you only have to do that once online, then it shouldn't...

    Unable to reformat SD card in bird and pc

    Indeed the DJI Assistant application for PC has an option to reset factory defaults. You could put sd card into a different PC just to confirm its not your pc card slot that is the problem too.

    New pilot questions: wind stability and gpsHealth

    Loosing GPS lock means your craft is seriously obstructed. It should not happen typically. Assuming you are not on the very newest of firmwares, you can reconfigure the SPORT mode switch to enable ATTI mode on demand, but doing so requires advanced skills and elite abilities and superhuman...

    Unable to reformat SD card in bird and pc

    Regarding format, it is only a 'quick format', that is to say it just wipes the file index, it does not actually low level format the card. This is why MR ROBOT always puts his cards into the microwave oven to truly destroy the data on them. If the app reports a successful format, then when you...

    Here's how to shoot night video...

    Thanks I look forward to trying these settings! I am wondering, however, why would the saturation be lowered so much using DLOG, when DLOG already looks very bland and desaturated by default?

    Best video setting to eliminate vibrations during turning?

    There should be no 'vibrations' at all ever in any situation, unless you are torqueing around abruptly in sport mode. The Mavic has an almost magical ability to deliver perfectly smooth recordings, unless you are using the goggles head tracking, then it all goes to pot.
