    Pan function mavic pro platinum

    If you really want to see it pan, use a set of DJI Goggle, so much fun when you turn your head and the gimbal pans and tilts accordingly.

    Remote ID Module for MP1

    I've been away from drone flying for about eighteen months, so now I find that my wonderful MP is discontinued/out-of-date. She still flies great, and I have the Goggles. Took her out flying today and loved it, but I have to get the rust on my skills brushed off. Now, I am wondering if it...

    Registering a second drone with the FAA?

    Hobby UASs, 0.55 to under 55lbs, can share FA3xxxx IDs. Part 107 UASs, 0.55 to under 55lbs, flying inside USA airspace, use individual FA3xxxx IDs. All others going to need N numbers, and have fun getting those,

    Let's Play: Spot The Fake

    I threw some good (but not a lot) of money away on some fake props, and can't use them, shakes the hell out of my gimbal, and that's even after turning the gain down on them. Learned a $10 lesson.

    Other People's Etiquette Around Drones

    I Got one, rarely fly without it, money well spent. Like any uniform it visually conveys (not gaurantees) authority, competence, and immediately sets the proper stage. If an inteloper insists on breaking into your sterile cockpit, land, to regain control of the situation. Even a friendly...

    Reliable HDMI Tablets (smaller ones)

    As an experienced nvidia shield K1 tablet flyer, my biggest recommendation is do not let the K1 upgrade to Android 7 “Nougat”. Stay at Marshmallow, Android 6.x. Otherwise DJI Go 4 constantly crashes, which is very annoying mid-flight. I cringe seeing these great tablets now selling used for...

    Red Alert - Gimbal Shake

    Thanks again, I used your term "vibrating gimbal" as a search term on this forum and found petter_m77's excellent YouTube explanation of the problem and how and why it's fixed with incremental adjustments to the advanced gain settings. I'll try that next. All the best,

    Red Alert - Gimbal Shake

    Thanks tictag, I am a newbie Mavic Pro pilot, and yesterday I tried a set of 8331 MPP props for the first time, and experienced this gimbal shake. I thought maybe I'd purchased counterfeit props ($8.95/set of four) from Amazon marketplace, so I swapped my normal 8830-s back on and everything...

    Goggles case

    I bought a nice, bomb proof case for my P4, carries everything, and it's great for keeping it altogether and protected for ground travel. For my Mavic Pro, I went the other way, since that is my travel drone (thinking airliner flights) I don't want all my eggs in one basket, I.e. one large...

    Why the Pro behaves so differently in strong winds from the Air

    Great thread folks! As a newbie Magic Pro owner I was unaware of these against the wind issues in normal flight mode (which I use 99%.) Thank you

    DJI Goggles: Are they worth it???

    I have a Mavic Pro and a P4, and just started using the Goggles last week on a trip to sunny Florida. Wow, a game changer, especially in bright sunlight, No more squinting at mobile device, so flying with them (gotta have a trained spotter along) is a real joy, and putting your companion(s)...

    Just ordered a pair of DJI goggles for my Mavic Pro

    I agree with your suggestion. I'm not looking at controller much now, maybe it's something DJI can add in the next firmware update. Also, I'd suggest that DJI add a three finger swipe for quickly freezing Head Tracking or Gimbal Tracking modes, (to be used before/after flipping up/down the...

    Just ordered a pair of DJI goggles for my Mavic Pro

    Had mine for about a week, a game changer. Especially, in bright sunny environments (think beach or snow covered country.) I'm still getting my head around using them competently, but it really allows you to share the fun with friends. All the best,
