    Loss of connection.....loss of drone

    I haven’t performed a search yet, but I’m wondering what the live video latency is with the Mavic 2 Pro. I surmise that, with a 1-2 second video delay, while attempting to fly in close proximity to to immovable objects...quick reactions by the operator to avoid impacts are futile...your Mavic...

    Lost my Drone Help

    To the original question...I lost my M2P last week while I was flying out of town. I had the last known location on the flight map. But while searching for my missing mav, I clicked the “Find My Drone” feature in the GO App...it said my aircraft was at my home...856 miles away! Completely useless.

    Loss of connection.....loss of drone

    Hi Nakita...how did you go about getting DJI to take another look at (escalate) your case? I’ve gone back and forth with my DJI “data analyst” via email with no result. They’re only offering the 30% off a new Mav 2 Pro. It’s very frustrating because it takes 24-36hrs to receive a response, and...

    Calibrating Mavic GPS

    Thanks for replying. Yes, I've done all the calibrations--VPS, IMU, and compass. No change in performance.

    Calibrating Mavic GPS

    When auto landing using RTH, my Mavic is consistently off by approx 30 feet from its take off location. Even when a precision take off point has been recorded, it is unable find that area with its visual sensors when attempting to land. I received this refurbished Mavic from DJI CARE...

    Crashed drone - question on how to proceed

    Depends on your timeline. I've had two Care Refreshed Mavics in the last 4 months. Both times (including shipping from the east coast) it took 5 weeks to get replacements...and dealing with DJI support is a real nightmare. It nearly drove me insane. No real issues with the ones they sent to me...

    Mavic now available @ Costco

    Mavic at COSTCO??!?!!? ...kiss our hobby goodbye, my friends. SWARMS of Mavics will soon be terrorizing the skies of every city, town, and village in this great nation. It's only a matter of time before the flying "aerial camera" will be banned!!!

    NanoSync Antenna for DJI Mavic Coming Soon

    I would have thought that one antenna was for the transmitter and the other for the video feed.

    Forced auto-land crash...

    Just be aware that you can slam into the ground if you're coming in too hot for a landing. the usual automatic slow down just before touchdown will be disabled.

    Forced auto-land crash...

    Thanks for your testing info, msinger. For those of us that are experiencing these random forced landings while flying at altitude, I wonder what's causing the problem? Software glitch or bad sonar hardware? DJI says I have to send the Mavic back for testing...I'm holding out to see if the...

    Forced auto-land crash...

    I've had this same problem 4 times since receiving a Care Refreshed Mavic a few weeks ago. The VPS sonar sensors will randomly show an altitude of only a couple of feet when the craft might be hundreds of feet in the air. Water has nothing to do with it. If you happen to be descending with full...

    DJI Care Refresh Disapointment

    I waited FIVE weeks for my DJI Care Refresh to be refreshed back to me. It was a daily slog of constantly calling the Filipino customer service center and begging them to give me info...infuriating. There is no "priority service" for Care Refresh customers.

    NanoSync Antenna for DJI Mavic Coming Soon

    I have the Nanosync from Maxx UAV coming in the mail today. These posts are disappointing. I think I'll wait to see if others get any better results before installing or just sending it back to Maxx...

    Gotten insurance with State Farm? If so please read!

    I predict that, as soon as the "Mavic 2" comes out, State Farm will be inundated with claims of mysterious crashes from their original Mavic policy holders... Seems way too good to be true.
