Not sure which tablets are favored here, I will look. But I find it to be a hassle to use a tablet, just one more device to bring and charge and won't fit in the Mavic travel case... when i already have the phone with me.

Anyone using a new iPhone 17 with DJI Go4 app to fly your M2 Pro? I had mostly flown mine with ipad 4 mini but only 500 NITS is not bright enough for sunny days. My iPhone 16 Pro is 2000 NITS which is better, but smaller screen. So I am thinking of switching to iPhone 17 Pro Max with 3000...

I got my CP board connected and had the same problem, not finding DLL files. I was using the beta versions from the provided link since they were newer, but that was the mistake. I tried the older non-beta version and it worked perfectly. Unsealed the battery, cleared faults, and voila, the...

What is the trick to getting the software to run? I have it all extracted, including the DLLs, and it says the DLLs are not present. This before connecting the cp board, which is still enroute. Maybe it needs to see that before the SW will start?

I hope someone at JPL doesn't hit RTH (Earth) by accident! ;-)

Just took mine to FL for the first time to visit family. I have a Gannet bait release so we took the Mavic beach fishing. No luck with the fish yet but the Mavic and the Gannet performed perfectly. Only beach related issue was trying to make sure the landing pad, a towel in my case, stays...

I am doing similar plus I use the discharger linked earlier to discharge unflown batteries down to ~60%. This might have a little positive impact on battery life, plus I feel better not having a bunch of LiPos sitting around at 100% for 10 days for safety reasons, even as rare as DJI battery...

There is a charger that will charge to ~storage. The RC Geeks unit has a switch that selects 100% charge or 65% charge. The 65% is good for automatically bringing up flown batteries to a consistent voltage. But it doesn't have the discharge function. It still puzzles me why no one sells a...

I have struggled with this question a bit for the Mavic2 and my e-bike battery packs. My conclusion is that any battery type that comes with onboard smart BMS doesn't technically require using a discharger to get to storage mode as they will do this themselves over time. Hence no one seems to...

Not that I know of. This particular use is pretty benign, only to carry a bait out a little farther than you can cast. I suppose a drone could be used as a visual spotter for fish like cobia that cruise down sand bars. That might start bordering on unfair and need to be regulated. Can also...

Can't move it, the sensor has to be where it is for the device to function. The rubber band is pretty strong and would probably hold against all but the most radical g-forces, but adding a little tape won't hurt. They could have made the design better by having 2 hooks that spread the band...

Wow, this thread is timely for me. I got this new device, a Gannet remote bait release, that mounts to the M2 via rubber band. The rubber band presses on the battery latch release buttons. I haven't tried this thing in the field yet but when I do I'll probably add some secondary battery tie...

Not a version issue, it was a manufacturing mistake, using a board programmed for a different Gannet product designed to work on a different drone. The double click thing is not a Gannet issue, that is how DJI has the aux lights set up to work. The programmed button cycles through on-off-auto...

I have just been in contact with Gannet and apparently the unit they shipped me has the wrong circuit board and software version to work with M2. Apparently the M2 aux lights are frequency modulated, IOW their brightness depends on "flickering" on and off faster than the eye can see. This is...

Which model drone and Gannet do you have? I have a M2 Pro and bought the M2 specific Gannet that activates from the M2 aux light under the main body. Only problem is it doesn't work. The Gannet light sensor simply ignores the M2 LED and the release pin remains open when it should shut. I...
