Hi all you Mavic pilots. hopefully someone has posted a response to this question. Why do we have this self discharge and what is the benefit. Thanking in advance. Trevor (South Africa)

Hi all, I have a smart controller and to be true i am not impressed. The only feature i like is the display... I am not impressed with the limited file transfer options. I am a little sorry i bought one.. I use my Samsung Note 8 at the moment and, well it works fine..

Hi all, i have a question. I had to do a hard reset on my Note 8 and had to reinstall all the apps including the DJI Go 4 app. How do i replace all the footage captured in the past so that it appears in the DJI Go 4 app? Thanking you all in advance. Trevor

Hi all. Has anyone come comeup with an idea for IR lighting fir the Mavic pro?? We have had some unwelcome visitors late at night. I was thinking that if i could rig my Mavic with night vision i could get footage of the unwelcome visitors. Here i SA the crime is really getting out of hand and...

Hi fellow pilots, I have a disturbing question. Can the Mavic be traced the aircraft alone is stolen and I still have the controller? Remembering that the controller may be purchased separately. Had a horrible dream of this last night...
