    Unable to connect to satellite

    One thing you didn’t mention after trying back at home if you changed the battery again. It’s possible the battery you replaced after your first flight is suspect. Loss of GPS has already been discussed.

    Playing lrf files on slow android tablets

    The .lrf files are the low res version of the high res (4K for example) files, allowing fast file transfer to you mobile device from your drone etc. Renaming the file extension to .mp4, as you mention, will allow playback of these files on devices that can open mp4 files. You could use these...

    Flight height question

    Are you sure? If you have an RTH height set to 50-metres for example, that is 50-metres above takeoff point. If you were then flying 50-metres below takeoff point and hit RTH the drone will climb 100-metres before starting its return home.

    Should Authorities reconsider line of sight with 360 drones ?

    ‘Right now, we need to think only about avoiding impacts with trees, wires, and (very rarely) low flying aircraft.’ And anything that the drone may fall on in the event of a battery or flight controller failure.

    Should Authorities reconsider line of sight with 360 drones ?

    It’s not the visibility from the drone’s camera that is relevant whether forward facing or 360. It is the pilot in control’s vision with unaided eyesight that restricts visibility. Situational awareness is about what the PiC can see and that is not from the air. Even with a so called 360 degree...

    Mavic 4 Pro, RC Pro2, Fly App Question on landing

    A ‘normal’ landing uses the downward VPS sensors in combination with the IR sensors. With VPS off the flight controller uses the IR sensors to triangulate the height above ground during landing for the last 25ft or so. IR can pass through light cloud and moisture. Because it passes through, and...

    Go4 Update v4.3.68 Released

    Especially when an update could, potentially, result in the drone failing while in the air. They need to take more responsibility and fully disclose any changes. There’s still a lot of Mavic 2Pro’s flying and not publishing firmware release notes won’t do DJI any favours in the current US...

    Go4 Update v4.3.68 Released

    That’s exactly my thought. That said, why would they bother to update a stable release after so long. It could simply be an OS compatibility update but without a release note, who knows.

    DJI have just released Go4 v4.3.68 on the Apple iOS App Store. Not much to go on: ‘Fixed certain issues and optimizes overall app quality’ Anyone tried this yet?

    Nacelle inopérante après changement du bloc moteurs

    Where was the smoke coming from? It may give an indication of what has failed. It may not be the gimbal itself but the electronics that drives it. D’où provenait la fumée ? Cela peut donner une indication sur ce qui a lâché. Ce n’est peut-être pas la nacelle elle-même, mais l’électronique qui...

    Nacelle inopérante après changement du bloc moteurs

    In English: Hello, Sorry for not writing in English, but I really lack the technical vocabulary to explain my “problem.” Recently, I powered up my Mavic Pro and forgot to remove the transparent gimbal cover, and during initialization the gimbal was blocked by it. Smoke appeared and I...

    No shortage of US-based "authorized DJI partners"

    I couldn’t agree more. DJI are between a rock and a hard place. They are in their current position because of ridiculously unfounded and unproven ’spying?’ on US soil, something anyone with any device and an Internet connection could do. The vast majority of IOT home devices and sensors are...

    flights above 400'

    And then there is visual line of sight, orientation and situational awareness to take into account - not a chance against the sky.
