    Cut motors to drop altitude fast

    You could test this by suspending it by two opposing arms between two stationary objects (c stands, saw horses, whatever). Give it a spin and see if you are able to start the motors while its spinning.

    Creating a waypoint mission

    The general idea is that you open the app and zoom in to the areas where you might want to fly so that it forces the app to load the maps for those areas. If you don't close the app after that, it should retain them in memory.

    Creating a waypoint mission

    In DJI Go you can, because you have to physically fly to each waypoint and then "record" the location into the mission. I suspect that Litchi will work as long as you precache the maps.

    DJI Go 4 released for iOS

    Supposedly it's brand new. I imagine they are reusing some of the same libraries for common functions, but they claim that it improves video latency to "near realtime".

    Is there any gunk on your bottom VPS camera lens?

    Pigeons Close Call - FPV + 3PV

    I swear he made a beeline for me. My friend was following and got a third person shot of the event. He didn't hit me, that was obstacle avoidance kicking in.

    Gimbal Disconnected?

    Yes. I tried several different 16gb cards and they all worked fine. I guess it just doesn't like this card for whatever reason. It's a PNY Elite U3.

    Gimbal Disconnected?

    The DJI app in the Mavic times out when I try to format it. The P3 Pro is able to format it no problem.

    To update or Not to update - firmware

    In the case of these first updates, I definitely would. It fixes some potentially crash causing bugs. Over time they generally become more about feature/perfomance enhancement though. It's always good to read the release notes for each update to see if it fixes something.

    Gimbal Disconnected?

    It's an SD card that I had been using in my P3P. Just for grins, i popped it into the P3P and it works fine in there....So weird.

    Gimbal Disconnected?

    Also posted this on the DJI forum: Ok, so this is the strangest thing. As I was packing up my Mavic to get ready to ship back, I replaced the 32GB microsd card that I had in there with the card that came with the Mavic....and it started working again. WTF? I checked the 32gb card in my pc...

    Gimbal Disconnected?

    It looks like that's where we are. They said to look out for info re: a shipping label in email but haven't seen anything yet. Does that normally take a while?
