    If what you're saying were completely true and no one ever lost their drone, there wouldn't be plenty of threads on this forum about people who lost their drone. The trackers give you a redundant system suited specifically to tracking down the drone, if the operator or the drone's usual...

    After RTH landing, MP started to take off, got force landing msg

    I'm not sure if forward looking sensors would come into play here, but there were definitely obstacles close enough to trigger them. The deck railing was probably 4 ft in front of the MP. And I don't know if specific senser data is part of the flight logs... I also had a question for you: how...

    After RTH landing, MP started to take off, got force landing msg

    ok, thanks for the feedback. As everyone has said, seems due to the VPS. The deck does have the typical spacing between the deckboards which you can see through, so I'm guessing that's why. And not the best idea to auto-land in a fairly confined space too...not gonna do that again! (going to...

    After RTH landing, MP started to take off, got force landing msg

    Here is my flight log. It looks like it was sensing negative IMU altitude just as it was landing. I'm assuming that's why it started to lift back up, but don't know why the sensors read that. (first time I've looked at a flight log too) Let me know if anyone has any ideas. thanks. DJI Flight...

    After RTH landing, MP started to take off, got force landing msg

    Ok, will do. However, I'm having issues with Assistant 2 (I might be able to get it connecting on a different laptop, I'm working on that). I haven't retrieved log files before, can I get the logs off the Mavic without it Assistant 2? (sorry, I'm sure there are answers about that on the...

    Does anyone feel the Mavic Pro 2 will be underwhelming?

    A qoute from last year....but I have a question about it (i'm not familiar with doing inspections): what difference does the matrice have over mavic in this situation, longer flight time and longer range? If you're somewhat near the tower, the mavic should be able to get hi-res images/video of a...

    After RTH landing, MP started to take off, got force landing msg

    Weird thing happened the other day. I was doing a RTH landing and the MP was landing on my deck where I had taken off from. It landed fine, exactly where it was supposed to. But then the props started to spin up and it started to very slowly lift off the deck by itself about 6 inches. I know I...

    Mavic will not connect to DJI Assistiant 2

    My 1st attempt (after uninstalling Assistant 2, and restarting while pressing 7) I got the prompts to install the drivers during the Assistant 2 install, which at the time I thought was the ticket to success, but no luck. Also, at some point when trying to connect I did try "Run as Admin" when...

    Mavic will not connect to DJI Assistiant 2

    Hi Simmo, unfortunately the fix didn't work for me, I tried it twice step-by-step. Assistant 2 still won't recognize the Mavic. I think I had a similar situation a while back where a firmware update wouldn't work on my primary laptop (the one that the MP won't connect to now) so I was able to...

    Thanks Simmo, I'll give that a try this weekend and report back how it goes
