    Video files recording but not showing up on controller

    I have been recording a number of smallish video files on my M3P but starting two days ago I can no longer see the files on my controller or see them when attempting a quick transfer to my iPhone. The files are there when I put the card in my laptop. I am using a Dji approved memory card. Any...

    Setting a “floor” or minimum height

    I fly over water a lot. I have already put one of my birds in the drink. I think it would be great if there was the ability to set a minimum height for any particular mission by entering an altitude or set the minimum height at the current altitude (while in a mission). This way no matter what...

    DJI would like you to “See The Bigger Picture” on July 18th – announcement?

    Well their teaser says "It's about time" and the video shows time lapse & hyper-lapse so I am guessing that their new drone (MP 2?) will have new or enhanced time lapse of hyper-lapse features.

    DJI mavic air escapes collision with kite

    I am both a drone pilot and kiteboarder. This was very bad and dangerous drone flying on your part. The length of the kite lines and the extensions are immaterial. Kiters like to jump and jump high. You should either stay over shore or keep your drone much higher when flying over kites IMHO.

    Low flying limiting

    I agree with you. There should be a way to set a gps “floor” to avoid crashing into the ground and into water (like I have done). Then be able to cancel when ready to land. In fact there should be a way to set up a complete 3D gps zone that would allow you to set up gps boundaries in all...

    Lost at Sea: How I found it, recovered it and flew it again!

    I thought the motherboard would fry out first but then I read that it is treated with some kind of sealant, but I agree, you would think that the camera and/or gimbal would be toast after an hour in salt water. I am truly amazed.

    Lost at Sea: How I found it, recovered it and flew it again!

    Some may not believe this story and some may, either way I do not care. I only hope that those of you who do, may learn something from my experience. I was vacationing with my family in Turks and Caicos in May. It was the last day of vacation and I wanted to get some shots of the catamarans...

    Why does MP rotate full 360 in Litchi? Unable to set rotation direction

    So I have created a waypoint mission in Litchi mission hub as I have done countless times before. I have heading direction set to custom in ios. Now when I fly the mission, it always rotates in clockwise direction to be aimed at the correct POI by the time it gets to the next waypoint. I am...

    Litchi: Aircraft constantly rotates during waypoint missions

    Did you ever get this issue resolved? I am now having the same problem even though I have used Litchi for many many missions. Thanks

    Quick question on waypoints with Litchi

    @MavicWorld is spot on. also remember to set you first waypoint very close to your take off point. this way you can establish altitude right away and before you head to second waypoint or landing.

    Traveling to Iceland

    Just spent 4 days there and flew most of the places you mentioned except Geysir (too small and crowded). Vik was also a bit of a challenge. Here is some advise to consider; Take off and land AWAY from parking lots and people. Nobody wants to see or hear the drone. I would find a secluded...

    Question about Costco Deal

    Excellent point. Costco has the best return policy in just about all of retail. I wonder if they will be as open with any Mavic returns?

    DJI GO 4 new version adds Quickshot

    Ummh I am pretty sure you will be able to choose dynamic home point. I will defiantly use it (on occasion) like when I fly it from my moving boat to film some wakeboarding. Because . guess what?, my old RTH point is now just a patch of water (and far away). This will be very useful.
