    Phone not connecting to controller (android)

    yes, appears to be the cable. i tried an adapter on the mini usb and it works fine. annoying given i have used it twice. spose best buy a new one rather than starting a whole thing return

    Phone not connecting to controller (android)

    Urgh. All was working fine with my mini 2 plus note 9 but now all of a sudden my phone doesn't connect to the remote checked cable, checked plugged in. tried different types of cable eg apple with different phones, and works fine. I just don't know if this is hardware or software. Any ideas? Thanks

    Launching by hand from car sunroof

    I guess i just want to keep myself to myself. Probably a product of having a career where I have thousands of people in my face every month, all day long. Each to their own. I'll just give it a try and see if it reports anything just before take off. I presume if i get no interference warnings...

    How are people doing dolly zoom with a digital zoom?

    I thought dolly zoom entirely worked by the effect of an optical zoom creating lens compression. (Lens compression is essentially the phenomenon of background elements appearing larger than they actually are – hence the scene becomes “distorted” since those background elements appear closer and...

    Launching by hand from car sunroof

    Thanks, I accept those challenges, but if it was in a large carpark, risks would be negligible. As I said, I would land next to the car. I'm just more asking about magnetic interference.

    How are people doing dolly zoom with a digital zoom?

    Hi all, I'm a little confused. I thought dolly zoom was a trick using the optical elements of an optical zoom. I thought a digital zoom would not work as its simply cropping the image. Yet- Is this a misleading video? Maybe a mavic pro 2 zoom mislabeled as a mini 2?

    Launching by hand from car sunroof

    Hi, I know there will be risk of metal interference, but does anyone have an opinion on how big that risk is? For me, flying is always about discretion - its my top priority. I hate when people come over to talk mid flight, or stare or whatever. A launch from a hand out of the sunroof, followed...

    Range question

    ok, is range equiv to mavic pro 1 do you think? if you had one of those. Does it have the usual FCC/CE range adjustments based on geography?

    Range question

    Just wanted to clarify something. The ocusync is just about video transmission right? not control signal. I had a mavic mini 1 for about 2 weeks before sending it back because the signal was terrible and I rarely got past 100m. I reverted back to my mavic pro 1 but did really like the...

    What sort of info does the Mavic itself store?

    If your Mavic ended up in someone else's back garden and they knew how to get any data off of it, what info could they get? Obviously they would potentially see where you took off from if you were filming at take off. But anything else? Does it store local GPS data etc? Or is this all on the...
