    Lost drone trying to RTH - 'max power load reached' issue

    Can we use a little common sense about flying in windy conditions? Fly this toy into the wind if flying out for any distance. The wind will help you get it back. Experienced pilots know this and do this on a regular basis, or should at a minimum. If, and I say IF...after the error of "Max...

    Fake NLD (FCC Mode + Boost)

    I can clear this up. IF as some of you have said, you enabled signal boost/FCC mode prior to upgrading to .0510, it will keep that mod. If you are on .0510, no, you can't run the patch. The way the patch works in NLD....Enable FCC mode does just that, enables FCC mode. Enable signal boost...

    Can anyone talk me out of buying BT-300 glasses

    I have these. I also have lots of other goggles, including the DJI goggles, box goggles, fat shark type. I also use reading glasses, +1.5, but with the DJI Goggles and the box type goggles, I have had to use either +4.0 or +5.0 lenses in them in order to focus on something so close to my eyes...

    There's no general threat using Google Assistant with Go 4 app. "DJI Drone could kill…"

    I think A LOT of you missed the whole point of the OP. Is there ANYWHERE in DJI documentation that warns the end user about using the device, phone or tablet, for doing anything else while flying? Thats the point. If you were a new user and only read the DJI manual, would you know this, and is...

    Using a drone in Hawaii

    Do yourself and your skin a favor and wear a hat and sunscreen. You will thank me on the last day of your vacation here. Best rule for flying drones...ANYWHERE? Don't be stupid.

    Xiaomi's entrance in the drone market. DJI should seriously pay attention to their customers now.

    You guys are missing the obvious. While you sit there with your P4 line, M2, Mavic Pro's etc and can't take off in a mis configured DJI NFZ, you will look over and cry when the neighborhood kid takes off with his X8 SE. Is it the same quality as a DJI craft? No. Is it as good? No. Is it a...

    Why you probably shouldn't fly your drone on April 6th (GPS rollover explained)

    While all of the "snowflakes" won't be flying that day, I will be flying as fast as I can and as far away as I can, just because... In fact, I won't even wait to gain enough satellites. I will just run outside, start it up and full throttle baby! Fast and far away. Wahoooo!

    $49 Huawei Ascend XT2 aka Wunderphone = THE best Mavic screen EVER

    Still to date this Huawei is the best value in a dedicated device, and it's not a bad phone either.

    Blade Test Results- DJI vs CARBON FIBER

    From my flying observations and using CF props for a while now, the conclusions you have reached are spot on. For my flying style, I will take the improved stability - which I chalk up to improved responsiveness, and the overall improved response to stick input. Slightly lower flight times are...

    Blade Test Results- DJI vs CARBON FIBER

    I have both the Mavic Pro and the Platinum and have used 4 different props: Stock DJI Low noise DJI CF Master Air Screw If you want more "responsiveness" out of your craft, use the 3rd party props. You can tell the difference, since both the Master Air Screw props and the CF are stiffer than...

    Upgrade Put Me In NFZ

    unlock your drones and be free. You own it. You are responsible for the flight of it, not DJI or any other company. This begs the question: If DJI is limiting your drone by implementing a NFZ, are they liable if the NFZ restriction that they put in place doesn't work for some reason and you...

    How to rollback Mavic firmware

    Good advice Yousuf110 - the only thing I would add is always, ALWAYS flash each firmware version twice. 1st flash takes about 15 minutes, 2nd flash (error checking) takes only 3. Always start with a full battery, and downgrade in steps. The recommended firmware to be on is 01.03.0700...in...

    I swallowed my pride and got an iPad.

    Ok, I will bite and post on this thread. I have: Mavic Pro, Mavic Platinum, Autel EVO and Parrot Anafi. Don't have an Apple device, so can't comment on if it is indeed better or not. I have used, or still use: Amazon Fire HD 10, 8, 7, Samsung S8 and now S9+. I also have the Wunderphone and...

    How to rollback Mavic firmware

    You all are going about this wrong. Yep. Wrong. Way too much effort, downgrading, upgrading etc. So you have a Platinum, or New Pro and want to be on the magical 01.03.0700? But you were told you need to downgrade, then upgrade, then esc errors, or..... Be easy on yourself. Stay on...
