    Controller 5D button missing

    Did you buy that board, and did the button come with it? Mine kept falling off a few months ago, so I glued it on, then decided to do an antenna mod, and managed to break the button off in the course of controller disassembly. I decided to order a new board (eBay) so wondering if that button...

    Looks great, but not seeing where or how to purchase?

    polarpro cinema series, or rt taco?

    For what it's worth, Polar Pro's customer service is outstanding. They are responsive and clearly go out of their way to keep their customers satisfied - a refreshing change from the usual, outsourced nonsense we all get to deal with at times.

    Forward Sensors and Glaring Sun

    Had the same problem on my Mavic (after repair from a defective product) and recalibrated the forward looking cameras and vertical sensors. Glad to report that cured the problem.

    MavMount not perfect (what is right?)

    I ended up using washers and shimmed it from the top, and added two thicknesses of gorilla tape underneath. There is zero wobble now.

    MavMount not perfect (what is right?)

    Did you do that on the short sides or the long edge of the mount? I'm not seeing precisely how that helps to stop the wobble. There's not material on the controller along the top edge of the mount to rest against, so wondering exactly where you put the tape..thanks for your help!

    I lost my Mavic and need help finding out what happened - FOUND BY STARZ!

    Reading through this thread renews my faith in humanity! Thanks to all of you who actively participated in rescuing this drone - truly amazing story. I live in southern Arizona myself and happened to be close to that area last month doing some aerial work for a client, it's gorgeous country...

    Weak transmission signal

    I sent the Mavic to DJI for repair and they replaced virtually everything inside the drone. I'm traveling and won't be able to test fly until this weekend.

    Weak transmission signal

    Not in beginner mode...I'm trying to downgrade to an earlier firmware for the heck of it, can't get the DJI Assistant software to cooperate...did the firmware updates via the app, so, yes, I'd be surprised if this isn't some sort of hardware problem. Has anyone else found the DJI Assistant...

    Beyond annoying... I can't get up about about 90 feet. Are you guys on the latest firmware?

    Weak Controller Transmission Signal

    Brand new Mavic, maiden flight today, finding that I'm unable to get beyond about 100 feet vertically and/or 50 feet horizontally, I begin to lose controller transmission signal. I see a warning on the app, and the radio signal strength icon steadily decreases to near zero when I get up above...
