    MPP disappeared in the mountains. Probably located after more than 2 years.

    Any photos or videos of the recovery? Sounds epic.

    Mavic 3 Lost Control Near Boat

    Yes, I see now. I only read the first post before assuming it was atti mode. It does sound like atti mode, and having to fight the drift with constant stick movement. I thought, maybe it has a bug where some failure causes it to lose its GPS holding ability but fails to report it.

    Mavic 3 Lost Control Near Boat

    Exact same happened to me last year flying over a harbour. With a boat almost directly underneath me, the drone suddenly went into atti mode, which is difficult to control when it happens the first time and you don't know what it is.

    Mavic 3 Pro Released with new FW Released as well

    Is he reliable? Where does he get his info from? If he's right, then the only change is the addition of a third camera. That's good for recent Mavic 3 buyers. At least they won't have much buyer's remorse.

    Mavic 3 Drifting

    I noticed my Mavic 3 drifting significantly today, while trying to take a sunrise timelapse. It was at 40M altitude and a light breeze.

    Fly app crashes when opening settings on Kindle fire tablet

    I have the latest Kindle fire 10 and the newest DJI Fly app. I can fly the drone and everything seems ok, but as soon as I tap the three dots to access settings the app crashes and restarts itself. My guess is that it's something to do with Amazon's modifications to android. Does anyone have...

    Fly App V1.7.4

    After installing this, my first flight with the Mavic 3 had a serious problem. It said suddenly said there was no GPS, but it was showing 24 satellites. Then it went into atti mode and became difficult to control. I was convinced it would crash, but I managed to get it home, just.

    Mavic 3 Drifting

    I think mine does, too. Also, when I move forward slowly, mine first moves slightly to the left.

    Mavic 3 Jerky Flight

    Mine was doing this tonight flying about 20ft off the ground and into the sun. Disabling obstacle avoidance fixed it.

    Mavic 3 firmware 1.00.0800 released

    Oh, thanks for the notice. I was really hoping for waypoints, or more automation tools. I guess the IMU fix is a good thing. But there is nothing else in the release note: Date: 2022.06.16 Aircraft Firmware: v01.00.0800 RC-N1 Remote Controller Firmware: v04.13.0600 DJI RC Pro Remote Controller...

    Ulanzi vs DJI wide lens

    Thanks for this. I must say, viewing on a 1440p I can only detect a very slight difference on the line where the wood meets the metal. I wonder if you overcome that with a little more sharpening in post?
