    What do you use C1 and C2 for?

    Same config, bait release for C1, although I am experiencing inconsistent functioning of the bait release (not the mechanism,, but the activation of the front LED). I have the latest firmware installed on the A/C and I have checked the status of firmware through DJI GO 4 (with each battery...

    Hi, I am experiencing this frustrating issue! Using Mavic 2 Pro and have 3 batteries. the latest firmware is installed on the A/C and I have checked the status of firmware through DJI GO 4 (with each battery installed, in case this was something to do with any stored functionality in the smart...

    International Date Line - any experience crossing this with a 2Pro?

    Update - Warranty replacement (not DJICare replacement) arrived on Monday. DJI had offered to replace the 128Gb card if I had a receipt - thought that was a good touch. I also got remaining DJICare transferred from the old A/C to the new one. Many thanks for assistance and opinions - great forum!

    Any further analysis on these files would be interesting - I have a number of contacts who will be sailing on cats in the location of the loss and have mentioned this issue as a warning. Attached are .txt and .dat files

    International Date Line - any experience crossing this with a 2Pro?

    Further comment - strong suspicions that the code does not cater for longitude changes from - to + in a matter of metres. I raised this as a question but it was not directly answered by the (very sympathetic and supportive) support person. She offered to replace my SD card if I could supply the...

    International Date Line - any experience crossing this with a 2Pro?

    You're correct - RTH when activated, indicated about to land, however the position of the drone was ~100 m from me, thus I aborted this on a few occasions. All happening in such a short time and with the adrenalin flowing some actions now considered were far from top of mind! Given time of day...

    International Date Line - any experience crossing this with a 2Pro?

    Hi, recently I flew towards the IDL on a planned short flight in Taveuni, Vanua Levu, Fiji. On hitting a longitude of 179.999997 the drone stopped and would not move laterally in any direction, but could rotate, ascend and descend. This was what I observed on the screen map - the distance...

    How to take my Mavic Pro on a long haul Virgin Flight to South Africa

    I've been checked at a few airports (PER, SPU, LHR) and some others for the total number of Wh storage - there seemed to be a limit based on total number of Wh carried (160-180) in the form of spare batteries (only on carry-on, not allowed in checked bags) and one airport limited the number of...
