The main issue I had was I kept losing RC signal which was from using the stupid short cable that dji supplied. I use my samsung charger cord and have it connected directly through USB to the phone and it's fine.

Birds really hate drones

I would bet it's that piece that is damaged in some way.

Behind the glass on the camera is a tiny motherboard with just a cable running from that to a bigger motherboard on the Mavic. Im guessing it controls among other things the focus / zoom. Tldr; The focus isn't working because the part posted above is ******.

I think the lense section needs replacing.

I have the same problem. Do dji replace drones if ypu arnt a care member?

I'm looking at it but it looks impossible to remove without taking out all the camera gimble unit before. Do you pop off the protective cover on the outside of tge shell to get more wriggle room to take it out?

What does the vision sensor look like? Is it just the two cables connecting the sensors to the camera?

crashed my drone but everything looks alright except the camera that has a small chip on the edge of the screen. The camera caliberates fine and I have full controles of the camera in the app but the picture is blurry and not in focus at all. I can't caliberate the vision sensor on the PC. It...

My camera wont focus in auto or manual and only things right up close are clear -- it's like it is short sighted but the manual focus isnt working either. This started doing that after the latest firmware update. I get an error in the dji app saying to calibrate vision sensor but pushing on...

I crashed mine at about 8m above my head on the back deck. Literally went straight up and right next to the deck is a massive bamboo tree. It clipped one of the overhanging single branches and momentarily drifted left straight into the main clump of bamboo and came crashing down right next to...

And that's when you crash[emoji3]

My camera is out of action for a bit and to just use the drone to take pictures of weather (storm cells ect) will a gopro be ok and not mess up the flight dynamics as a stop gap until new parts arrive?

Is there a video explaining how the flight mechanics work with no rudders ect? Are each rotor variable pitch or somthing so when you back one way the other side slows up ect?

A good place to fly is a sports oval , you can really thrash it about and get comfortable with the handling. I was practicing manual take off there but just prefer the auto take off function.
