You’re a genius. I even have a strap, normally for keeping the props from flopping but works just fine for holding the battery very tight.

I’m not afraid of it falling out, it’s pretty secure in that sense. The concern is that it vibrates loose enough to have a bad contact and lose control, then just drop. Not sure if a rubber band can prevent that kind of problem. Maybe. Right now my thought is to use it for software...

That's what I was afraid of. Hate to see $80 down the drain but better than seeing $1000 down the drain...

I just had one of the side latches on a Mavic battery break off. When I install the battery in the Mavic it seems like it's secure with only one latch. Have there been reports of issues flying a Mavic on a battery that is missing one of the latches?

I went with a Ballistic case (need a stand as part of the case for other applications) and your recommendation on the mounting bracket. Works very nicely, thanks for the advice! I will feel a ton better about running around in various terrain with the tablet in a case.

What case are you using with your iPad mini 4? Got an iPad mini 4 specifically to run my Mavic Pro and noted that it *just barely* fits into the controller with a little bit of a squeeze. So it’s certainly not fitting in like my iPhone 6 Plus did, with its (relatively thin) case. I seems...

I think I may have figured it out. I have always started up in the sequence: DJI Go 4 > Controller > Aircraft. What I suspect happens is that the controller looks for the aircraft firmware rev and if it doesn't see the aircraft (immediately), defaults to the old options (no QuickShot). So it...

Updated to current version of DJI GO 4 software (4.1.11) and firmware (01.04.0000) and initially after updating I saw QuickShots in the intelligent flight mode menu. I went out in the field to test it out and QuickShots was gone off the menu (Gesture Mode took its place). Came back to the...

You can see how EV works in Auto mode if you turn on Video Caption, then record while making changes to EV in auto mode or changing ISO/Shutter in manual mode. Give each change a few seconds to settle. What I noticed is that in manual mode, an ISO setting of 800 is 800. In auto mode...

I've only had my Mavic about a week, and I'm considering flying with controller only, and not connecting a phone. The idea is just back & forth flying relatively close in, just to get hand-eye coordination and smoothing out my flying. So my question is: whether flying without the DJI Go App...

Thanks! At least you got us to the root cause.

That was a great suggestion, we tried to connect on his phone through my account and we have the same problem... it simply does not connect. He has a Google Pixel phone, we are using the Google phone connector. What we get in DJI Go is the "disconnected" screen.

Just got my Mavic a week ago, have had no problems with it running it from my account. My son would also like to use it with his own phone, through his own DJI account. It doesn't seem like DJI Go will connect to my Mavic through his phone. Is there some DJI restriction that couples my Mavic...
