    More coverage of the US DOI review of DJI equipment

    While I DO think a lot of this has to do with our king, I also think that some of the caution has more to do with the software and drivers that we install on our computers to maintain the DJI hardware. If this is true, then I do not think that our personal use of these machines will be...

    Mavic Air can't connect to RC - DJI Assitant 2 can't read out software - How to reset RC and MA?

    Not sure about your inability to connect the MA to the RC, but as for DJI Assistant2 issue, make sure you have logged in to your DJI Account, using the menu in the top right. I had this same issue recently, and logging in fixed it. Good luck.

    Firmware problems?

    Aye, thank you, Doppler. I had no issue with that, as the update presented absolutely no problems for me.

    Firmware problems?

    Hmmm. I just fired up my MA today, for the first time in about 8 months. The last firmware update I did, thru DJI Assistant, erased all of the previous versions, leaving me no evident way to roll back, but I had no issue with that. DJI Assist2 now says it cannot find a version, though it DID...

    FAA Drone ID Proposal:

    Yeah, having read through the thread, Elaine and company seem to be creating quite a set of hoops to jump through. And it seems that $$$ are the driving force, as always. Looks like we all need to voice our objections and concerns, though our voices don't seem to matter these days. There's a...

    FAA Drone ID Proposal:

    I might be wrong, but I believe my Mavic Air, with up-to-date firmware, is already capable of this. If I go into MC Settings. the very first item says "Remote Identification". I tapped on that and enabled the stuff months ago. I enabled UUID and Identification & Flight Information. I entered...

    SD CARD PROBLEM

    Hey Bourbon, FWIW, I was buying a bunch of 32 and 64GB cards a few months ago for use with Raspberry Pi work, and I was buying SanDisk Extremes from Amazon as well as a few locally from a Best Buy. They have always been my GoTo for these cards. But I wound up needing to send/bring back over...

    Air actual range to expect

    A lot depends on your location. If you are in a location that gives you FCC Mode, then yes, it is possible. If you are in a location where CE Mode is forced, then probably not, unless you mod it to use FCC Mode.

    Master Airscrew

    I bought a set weeks ago, but I don't get to fly very much. But I DID finally get a chance to fly with them last week, and WOW, they really ARE much quieter than the stock props. I didn't get any motor current issues, though my flight was in 19mph winds. My Mavic Air flew effortlessly...

    Mavic Air Pricing (B&H Catalog)

    Looks like the white one in the FlyMore Combo is the best one out of all, eh? Or at least it might be the one they have fewest of in stock?

    Mavic Air Tablets

    Yes, the bottom port is preferable. FWIW, i have a 2013 Nexus 7 that works fine with my Mavic Air. I DID root it and flashed it with a 6.01 Slim ROM with the Nano-sized GApps and the ElementalX kernel. I only have DJIGo4, Litchi, and Airmap installed on the tablet, but I have pretty smooth...

    New firmware v01.00.0620 released

    Maybe battery #2 was inadvertently skipped when you upgraded to 0560?

    Mavic Air won't move forward or backwards!

    Maybe calibrate the remote? Does it yaw or roll?

    Master Airscrew Mavic Air Props now available

    Okay, but I don't really like the idea of downgrading the FW. That last upgrade affected the batteries, as well as the bird, and it MAY have fixed an important issue with the batteries immediately going dead from 50%. Rolling back that FW will require rolling back the batteries, as well, I...
