    Mavic Pro Super Battery. Does it Exist ?

    From what I learned from the modder he used the same number of cell but the cell did improve so each one of them got about 150mAh more capacity.

    Mavic Pro Super Battery. Does it Exist ?

    I wish if I can help but they are just individual modders selling on P2P platform in China. There is always risk with buying from modders. My 4500 mah batteries were great. After 20 flights DJI Go still gave a readout of 32 mins. On the contrary, the 7800 mah ones, were broken on arrival. The 3D...

    Mavic Pro Super Battery. Does it Exist ?

    These batteries are real and I owned one. It upset the balance of M1P a bit because of the added weight (4-500gm) and you will get max rev warning when ascending too rapidly. I prefer some modded batteries using the same casing, with the cells swapped to some newer ones, each cell did give 200...

    NLD improved signal mod

    You are right. I'm referring to the software mod which increased the radio output to 1.8w. I did check the hw mod but found a used Alientech booster a more hassle free solution. For the batteries I got them from a p2p selling platform. I can pm you a screen cap if I found it but payment would...

    NLD improved signal mod

    I had experience on NLD, Alientech booster, and dual battery, with my M1P. NLD does have some positive impact to the range but not too significant. Combined with a boosted Alientech it made a great combination. My M1P with NLD alone could achieve perfect video transfer at around 1.5-2km in city...

    Cheaper drone suggestion for a newbie before they buy the more expensive mini?

    Why don't go for a used Spark or Mini? I was a newbie like everyone else and I started the sport with a used Spark. Did lots of reading before my first purchase. My conclusion is, in short, nothing better than a DJI at its price level. A Spark is still better than most sub $200 4K drones. The...

    Brand new MP 1 user..

    If it's a loose cable the app would say "no image transmission", otherwise it would say "no RC signal" and trigger RTH after a few seconds. It happened a few times with my Air. Before I figure out the issue I had to pull it up and flew it back by looking at it physically. Later I found that it's...

    Mavic air Crash: IMU heading error, followed by ESC error, What happened?

    I'm experiencing the same problems today. Flew my Air to a tower 500m away and practised circling. All of the sudden I got: IMU heading error Not Enough Force/ESC Error Strong Interference to Aircraft. Signal interruption may be more likely. Fly with caution. IMU attitude error. Please check...

    Do you think this RF booster would work?

    I'm looking for a RF amplifier for my controller. The majority goes to Sunhans and Dragon amps. Those are not ideal to me cos I want the amps to be powered by USB. Recently I came across this little amp. I searched for more info but there was none out there. Do you think it would work? Do they...

    File corruption

    Took my Air to DJI today. The service rep had gone through the footages and surprisingly there were no artifacts. The guy encouraged me to leave the drone so they can have a check. It was free anyway so I complied. On my way home I rethought everything and guessed it would be a faulty card...

    File corruption

    That's true but I tried a few cards and got the same result. The footages were only fine when the drone was shooting when it wasn't flying. Probably a main board issue. I hope not cos replacing the whole board will cost me a lot.

    File corruption

    Thanks for the advice. I did everything and there were still artifacts in the footages. Gotta take it back to DJI.

    File corruption

    I blew clean the card slot and recorded some video without flying. The footages were free from corruption. I'll try some actual flying later and see if the footages are ok captured from flights.

    File corruption

    the footages are all intact

    File corruption

    Recently the footages saved to the SD card were all corrupted. They were not unreadable but I noticed some tearing and artifacts. The footages could be opened in iMovie but when iMovie processed the part of footage with artifacts it would crash. The artifacts were quite frequent, in a 4 minute...
