    Nexus 7 (2013) or iPad Mini 2?

    I've not had any problem with and ipad 2 wifi, could imagine you may do so if it is chock a block with data and apps as there is a finite amount of storage and cpu power.

    Battery Lights Stuck On?

    DJI Assistant installed on PC, remove props from drone as a precaution, put offending battery into drone, connect drone to PC using USB cable supplied with drone, follow instructions in DJI Assistant. DJI Assistant will update firmware in the battery and all will be ok.

    Poll: IOS or Android?

    After trying several Android devices and phones and after getting sick off app crashes EVERY flight I bought a secondhand Ipad mini 2 and it works perfectly, no crashes and the bigger screen is much easier to use and see what the Mavic is seeing.

    Telstra tablets and phones

    That is correct but my understanding is if you lose contact with the Mavic in a physical crash etc then as the data is coming from the Mavic then finding it might be impossible? Or have I got it wrong?

    Telstra tablets and phones

    A fellow Aussie here, I've flown mine with several different Android phones, the biggest problem seems to be the storage capacity, most seem to work ok but it was rare for them to not lockup and crash the app during a flight, usually when I attempted to record video they would all crash the app...

Mine took two attempts to install the firmware...

    Firmware update v01.03.0900

    The first two attempts to update via GO 4 resulted in the update failing and the "try again" message. The second time it failed the drone locked up and just sat there with the two central leds on the battery on, front red leds on and the rear light red. About every 20 secs the two central...

    Best firmware and your reasons why

    My Mavic came last week and had 400 out of the box, seemed to be flying ok but as I'm a newbie and have only just got out of beginner mode that is probably irrelevant. Upgraded to 700 yesterday and it still flew ok yesterday after the upgrade but today for a whole battery the app locked up but...
