    Mavic drifting left or right while flying foward

    It's strange, I noticed mine just started doing the same thing - very slight drift to the right in my last few flights. Never had a crash in the almost 2 years owning this --KNOCK ON WOOD! Redid the gimbal, IMU, calibrate, and even installed brand new props (I thought maybe one prop could have...

    Very noisy 1080@96?

    Finally took the MP up tonight - right before sunset (FINALLY no wind, not TOO cold). Manual camera settings, but I must have goofed up and hit 96fps. Ahh! I always have it set to 60. With cloudy skies, the footage I grabbed is kind of grainy.

    I updated the DJI GO app on Sunday morning, MP "lost signal" for the first time in 133 flights

    Not sure if this is a fluke or odd timing. I updated the app Sunday morning. took the MP out a few hours later. WHEW..it's the very first time this happened owning my MP since June 30. Brief flight outside Philly, just circling the area. I've been here before with no problems and I went over...

    Question - Mavic Pro in colder temps. How does it handle?

    Cool! (No pun intended) :) Thank you!

    Question - Mavic Pro in colder temps. How does it handle?

    Sadly I haven't flown in a while, 4 weeks to be exact. The weather here has not been all that great, plus by the time I get home from work, the sun has set - or just about to set. Anyway, now that "fall temps" finally hit here like a swift kick in the head - 85 on Thurs...to 50s on Friday...but...

    Mavic pro picture quality

    DNG, RAW is the way to go. I also tend to mess with the manual settings as well instead of Auto. (At times I get a blown out sky in Auto) Using ND/Polarizer filter dramatically improved my shots also. Quite a few videos on YouTube for "good camera settings" - This site is not bad. The Best...

    Sphere pano - high resolution export

    Ok, I was going to start a new topic on this...but you may have answered it :) The DJI app, it's ehh..ok somewhat for stitching the 34 360º photos, then I've been using this "THETA+" app to create a flat image (posting it on FB then creates that 360º photo) But the original output from DJI app...

    New .0500 firmware?

    I'm pretty thankful I saw this BEFORE I went out, yeah it seems its a mandatory update. It took a good 12-15 min on my end for this to download, install at home on WiFi. Flight seemed perfectly fine, no issues with flight on my end thankfully! I DID get this "Weak Antenna Signal" prompt again...

    What happens when you lose RC signal totally?

    I hear ya about getting "freaked out" - This happened yesterday to my MP, (Red warning "Weak Antenna signal" screen went to black.) the very first time in over 2 months of owning it. I was only about 1900 ft away and I flew this same exact route before. (Little odd since it's also the first...

    Mavic Pro firmware 01.04.0400 (Jul. 4, 2018)

    For the most part it's been ok for me. I am still on the 4.2.22 app version (I didn't update the app 2 weeks ago, also the new update that was released today) I did take off a few days ago and the MP seemed to have a life of it's own, but briefly. I was about 25 ft off the ground and it did a...

    Firmware v01.04.0400? Issues?

    I haven't been flying that much since the new firmware - dealing with...eh kidney stones - sorry, maybe TMI..this is total first for me - OR the weather has been absolutely lousy. I tried to fly yesterday on my day off and suddenly these pop up torrential rain/storms came in out of nowhere...

    RC STICK ERROR

    Thanks. I ran into this for the first time on Sunday. Had a brief flight, started to get a VERY brief shower...literally a few big raindrops so I landed, shut everything down. But the brief rain stopped. (Glad the drone was only 30ft above me, it had 2 drop of rain on it) Anyway went to take it...
