    Compass issue with Fly 1.4.0?

    Repeatable every time i flew with 1.4.0, and verified by someone else. I reinstalled 1.4.0 and still had the issue. Camera settings aren't documented by DJI but plenty of info on youtube about it.

    Compass issue with Fly 1.4.0?

    It is related to the app version. I installed the previous version and the problem is gone. Someone else I know also sees the issue with 1.4.0 but not 1.3.0. I agree that the issue is with the displaying of the data in the widget, not the data itself. Hence why the proper map view works...

    Compass issue with Fly 1.4.0?

    Just uninstalled 1.4.0 and installed 1.2.4 and the home location in the attitude indicator works fine. Must be a glitch with the new app that no one else seems to have noticed?

    Compass issue with Fly 1.4.0?

    Has anyone noticed the home point intermittently being shown in completely the wrong location relative to the drone when using the round attitude indicator? I start off with the home point directly behind the drone (shown correctly), then watch what happens when I rotate the drone. Then when I...

    Mavic Air battery went from 92% to 0%

    "went back over the records of that battery and there really wasn't a clue that it was going to occur. " - so you're saying that even when you looked at the data in Airdata, there were no major cell voltage discrepancies etc? The battery looked healthy? That is worrying!

    Mavic Air battery went from 92% to 0%

    Yeah I'd def try it. Well worth it. I flew my drone towards me when it was trying to land itself, but with hinsight I should have just let it land to lessen the impact. It was only about 200m away in a grass field, luckily. I often do fly far over water though! At least now I know which...

    Mavic Air battery went from 92% to 0%

    None of mine had the bulging either. AirData was a complete revelation to me. I paid $6 for a month's membership to try it out and stayed up half the night going through all my data - I'm a geek though and love a graph! I'd highly recommend it. As a result of the Airdata analysis, I have now...

    Oh right! Thought the link was specifically for sharing... New to Airdata tho. How come boblui was able to see it then?

    No problem. From Argos in the UK. Ordered a new one online for immediate collection, went to the shop, returned the first one and got an immediate refund and collected the new one at the same time. That's the advantage with buying from a retailer rather than DJI direct. No hassle - had my...

    Mavic Air battery went from 92% to 0%

    Thanks - more useful info. So what do you do with your batteries after a flight, if you don't plan to use them again for a few days? Manually recharge them to about 50%?

    Mavic Air battery went from 92% to 0%

    In that particular flight there was no indication that there was anything wrong. Displayed battery percentage looked as expected during the flight. From memory it was largely in sport mode. I have never run them below about 20%, and charged straight away to full after use, allowing the auto...

    Mavic Air battery went from 92% to 0%

    Ju Just checked my other batteries. Strangely the oldest ones are in the best condition. I will no longer fly with the one discussed in this thread, but I've noticed another one of mine looks like this: And a recent flight with it looks like this: Maybe it's time to stop using that...

    I bought a Mini 2 last week. On its second flight, the gimbal started going crazy. See from 1:35 in the video, with the most severe issue at 3:25. Any idea what might have been wrong? Flight log here: Took it straight back to the shop and swapped it for another one, so not my problem...

    Very interesting. I've done a PfCO and an A2 CofC and nowhere was this issue mentioned. Seems pretty important to me. Also wishing I didn't sell the spare brand new batteries I had last summer.... Thanks again
