    Mavic 3 and Goggles 2 after last firmware (will not actually work without the Motion Controller)

    No I get that, but the problem is that my use case is for "passangers" like the original goggles. I need to be able to see the screen. This clugy mess won't work for me.

    Mavic 3 and Goggles 2 after last firmware (will not actually work without the Motion Controller)

    So I got VERY excited when I saw that the latest firmware allowed use of Googles 2 with the Mavic 3 and jumped on it immediately with the idea of using it for the "passanger" view like I did on the Mavic 2 with the original DJI goggles. After a somewhat frustrating process of activating the...

    4k 60fps only on standard video recording?

    Thanks! That's what I figured.

    4k 60fps only on standard video recording?

    So I've noticed that in almost every other mode, be it zoom, master shots, cine shots, etc. the Mavic 3 always downgrades to 4k 30fps when recording video. I'm assuming that is working as intended or is there some sort of setting to allow for 60fps in those other modes?

    DJI Mavic 3 Launch Event And Order Status!

    So my Mavic cine was ordered on the 5th direct from DJI. Like many others, it "shipped" a few days later, but didn't show actual shipping info till about the 8th. On the 12th it arrived in Alaska and that is where it gets weird. It supposedly cleared customs, but the location never showed any...

    Mavic 3 Fulfillment Delays?

    Same thing on my end: Ordered mid-day on the 5th, said "shipped" on the 6th, and now FedEx is saying they don't have it and DJI is mum. Gonna give it a few more days before I get concerned (may just be that it isn't updating until it actually hits the US), but I also wonder if they are just...

    Can't get FPV to work

    Exactly! Now that I get it, it makes perfect sense... I think my only complaint is that after months of searching I've never seen it explained like this. Amusingly enough, it never occurred to me to try to strafe left/right in all my previous attempts. Anyway, cleared that up and now feel a...

    Can't get FPV to work

    Resolved. TLDR: It was working all along, but I was thinking wrong about the way that it was supposed to work. Specifically, I had to stop thinking of the drone as flying like a plane. Finally figured it out. The clue came when I turned on my drone on without flying and just picked it up with...

    Can't get FPV to work

    Exactly. It does seem possible both from the fact that the button is there to switch to it and from what i see in this video:

    Can't get FPV to work

    So I have had my Mavic 2 Pro for a few months now and have figured out a lot of quirks except for one: I cannot get FPV mode to work at all. Regardless of whether I am in sport or position mode, lateral movements are still stabilized as in Follow mode. I contacted DJI and they recommended...

    Locked in position mode

    I think it might have gotten switched off by the firm-ware upgrade. Mine was on, and after the upgrade it was off this morning when I flew... got confused by Sport mode not activating and then I noticed it was off again...

    Auto-braking on Mavic 2 Pro?

    Quick update: I think it was a combination of things. I'm now around 6 flights in and I've several flights where it doesn't happen at all (and where there was no wind or the sun was on the horizon. I think being over water also may have contributed to some of the warnings. My last two flights...

    Auto-braking on Mavic 2 Pro?

    Well, let's see how it goes tomorrow. Maybe it was the controller?

    Auto-braking on Mavic 2 Pro?

    Interesting, out of curiosity are you flying in Position mode? The only other variable I changed was re-calibrating the controller. Going to fly again tomorrow with a bit more time on my hands so I'll see if the issue returns.

    Auto-braking on Mavic 2 Pro?

    Update: I think Conchman was correct. I went out yesterday when there was hardly any wind and I didn't even have to switch to Sport mode. I just couldn't reproduce the problem at all. I think what was happening on the first two flights was that I was hitting significant wind... the only thing...
