well, after several weeks I finally was able to install the firmware update. My work around solution was to use my old N1 controller which came with my Mavic 3. Since purchasing my M3 I had subsequently upgraded my controller to the DJI RC, but for whatever reason, that newer controller would...

thank you, I cleared it for installation in the Mac security settings. That allowed the Macbook install it but at the end of the process I got a an error message: “not compatible with current version of MacOS” I’m using the latest version of Ventura.

thank you for the input. Unfortunately the Assistant 2 won’t install on my Macbook. It says it’s “ unable to verify absence of malware”. The dji download page says it’s “updated are discontinued”.

Hi, Trying to update my M3 firmware with DJI RC controller connected to WI-FI but all I get is an error message; “server error, wait a moment and try again”. I’ve been trying for several days on different WI-FI networks and keep getting this message. When I click on “update fly safe” I...

I doubt there is such a command, but turning it off is all that is needed to regain control. RTH is problematic on a boat at anchor since the boat “swings” on the anchor and is rarely at the home point. Hence the home point is usually over the water and RTH would could cause landing in the...

the viewer on the link I posted shows the complete flight path. I don’t think it’s related to OA or fog. As soon as it got near the boat it lost its ability to hover in one place. as soon as I moved it away from the boat it regained hover ability.

Been using it for 6 weeks and not had prior issues with the drone while it was on.

Hi, A few weeks ago, my M3 stopped 30’ away from my boat and refused to get any closer. It had th OA turned off so this seemed very weird behavior. I resolved the issue when Innoticed that I had forgotten to turn off spotlight mode for the return flight and landing on the boat. What I...

there was a bit of patchy fog so that warning was appropriate. I dropped down out of the fog cloud to deal with . Interesting concept re the antenna. It’s called “phased array” and not parabolic (focused) so yes, I assume it could be a very wide beam pattern. The drone was approaching the...

found this in Droneblog and suspect it must be a WIFI interference issue. (I have 2 onboard WIFI - Starlink and Vesper AIS) Do WiFi signals interfere with drones? If you experience a sudden loss of control while flying your drone, you should know that this isn’t uncommon. If your drone doesn’t...

I need to get to a dock and test “shutting off” the wifi during close approach, but it seems a bit unlikely that the wifi would start to cause interference after 50 normal flights in close proximity to it. I’m currently in a remote area on the BC coast, and will not fly from the boat while at...

it was behaving “like” there was 50mph wind. wind was light, prob no more than 10 mph. If it was wind induced, it should have happened when hovering further from the boat in the same manner is it did closer in. The hover was perfectly stable if it was more than approx 20’ from the boat in the...

thanks for the comments, further background as follows: initially it was on tripod mode (or c). I had OA turned off, and was trying to bring it alongside the boat prior to the final approach to the deck. However, it was behaving like it was in an a 50mph wind and could not hold its position...

Hi, I had a very hard time getting my M3 back to land on my sailboat today. I had OA turned off and I've done this many times without problems. The drone behaved normally until it got about 20' from the boat and then it became very erratic wandering all over without stick inputs. Every time...
