    Altering Return to Home

    I was responding to kilrah who indicates that you can touch the sticks, but 10 feet is a normal error. I was responding that the precision should be better than that... And always has been in my experience.

    Altering Return to Home

    Didn't think that was the case if using precision setting.... I thought it pixel matches the ground to land on the exact spot....

    Altering Return to Home

    Right.. all makes sense. But I am asking what the mavic internal rules actually are if anyone knows. Thanks

    Altering Return to Home

    I often use RTH. I know many purists out there don't like it.. but I do. I fly my mission manually and then relax and let my bird fly itself home. BUT, sometimes, I like to alter its course, usually just to get the camera to see something... I'll turn it or whatever. I notice sometimes, it...

    ipad mini 4 with cellular but no cellular service

    Rick... I understand... but is your ipad a cellular one where you didn't buy the cellular service plan (has gps) or one without cellular capability (no gps). I realize the drone has gps and I can get maps offline. but just interested if anyone got the cellular with gps and no service. Also...

    ipad mini 4 with cellular but no cellular service

    I have read the discussions that say having a larger screen is great. I have a Note 8 and it works fine although it disconnects every once in a while.. I think because of the wire. But I want a larger screen. People seem to love the ipad mini 4 and I am considering a refurbished one to save...

    Wouldn't return to home - even though it said it was doing that

    any comments by anyone on the first flight? Why did it give me a communication error with loss of the feed to my cell phone. The drone still responded to the RTH from the controller.. in that case, I was in no position to fly manually....

    Wouldn't return to home - even though it said it was doing that

    I tried... I was on the other end of that bridge...directly forward. So when I tried to have it come toward me, it wouldn't move. I assumed it was not responding to me at all. When I moved the other stick, it went down and I assumed that was the only thing it would let me do. I was...

    They are on the Mavic forum. I originally posted here by mistake.

    LOL. The close call was that when I went down, I was lucky to have not ended up in the road or the water.

    Wouldn't return to home - even though it said it was doing that

    Yes. I didn't realize that was an issue.. but clearly it is. It solves why it wouldn't return home.. and why putting the stick forward didn't cause a response but going down worked fine. If I had known, I would have put it in sport mode and home it would have come. Thank you!!

    Mavic wouldn't Return to Home - just stayed there - even though it said it was returning

    I flew two flights. On the first, my phone lost communication, which happens occasionally.. and I hit RTH on the controller and my drone returned to home (although it was off by a few feet..had to land manually). A bit unnerving. I then took off for a second flight. I flew for about 10...

    a safer way to catch your Mavic

    I tried to catch my Mavic Pro with my hand and it immediately surged and fought me. How do you kill the motors with one hand like you are in the video?
