    New Mavic Pro owner as of today

    AFC mode is Automatic Focus Continuous, this is where the camera checks to see that you have focus on your subject, as that subject can change while flying and getting closer to objects or further away it does a quick auto focus and this can lead to unwanted focusing movement on your footage. I...

    New Mavic Pro owner as of today

    I see what you mean....Nasty gimbal vibration in some of the video. Not normal and worth looking into. Since it is new, check you gimbal mount is not distorted or not sitting freely. It should bounce around when you hold the Mavic but the base plate shouldn't touch the edges of the hole it sits...

    Advice on which silicone glue to use on the gimbal ribbon replacement

    I have replaced my ribbon on the gimbal on two occasions. The ribbon has to be bent carefully in the right place and on those places that are folded I used double sided clear tape. If you buy good quality tape it is extremely thin and strong. It also allows you to remove and reposition it if...

    no video feed back

    Hi, I have replaced my gimbal twice and the camera as well due to unfortunate accidents. Camera was not working, replace the video feed cable, not the gimbal ribbon. Second time had to relace gimbal ribbon and swap camera over from original gimbal to new one. All worked well. Be very careful you...

    Continuous Auto focus problem?

    I have recently stopped using AFC mode and reverted back to AF instead. I have replaced my camera and gimbal separately due to an accident and was testing the camera. I noticed the auto focus shift happening during long flights and this ruined a few shots. Turning off the afc has stopped focus...

    Not sure to wait for the 2 after a while or jump on it

    There is a saying in the motor trade, "never buy the first version of any new model, wait for the creases to be ironed out" ..this probably is worth considering before throwing your hard earned money at any new product. Then again if you want to be the first one on your block that has a new...

    Transporting your Mavic batteries on an aircraft.

    Be aware that when travelling on internal flights within China, security may not allow you to carry rechargable batteries over a certain size on board the aircraft. In fact we were stopped at the airport departure security check and had to hand over all rechargeable powerbanks regardless of...

    Return to Home BEEP BEEP BEEP

    I though I read somewhere recently you can stop the RTH beep by pressing the power button once briefly on the controller. Haven't tried it myself but will when the weather fines up. Maybe put the MP in safe area and try it... do so at you own risk.

    Samsung Tab A 7" does it work?

    Short answer is No the Samsung Tab A can not handle the processing requirements of the Dji go4 app and video feed. Buy a ipad mini 4 and flight with confidence.

    Yes you dont need the chinese mapping. Turn it off or next update it will probably ask you again. .

    China mainland phone number and Verification code.

    Hi, In the dji go4 app before you connect your aircraft you need to go into the settings and disable the mapping for china. Restart your app and connect to aircraft and it shouldn't ask for the china info again. I had this problem and now at every update I make sure that the china maps are...

    Who else goes to sleep while editing their videos?

    Is it just me or do other people go to sleep while editing their videos? It doesn't seem to matter what the subject or how exciting the video may be, I just can't seem to get through a full edit without having a little closed eye session. Maybe I need more sleep....

    How difficult is it to replace Mavic rear arm?

    Hi, I did the same thing. Minor tree collision and rear arm pivot broke inside of drone. Bought new arm from eBay complete, watched half a dozen you tube videos of people replacing their rear arms on the Mavic and followed those instructions. One thing i did was not to unsolder the wires from...
