    Need help. Mavic Pro grounded.

    Hi there. Try logging out of your dji account and then log back in. Also there was a mandatory registration that came out a few months ago and if you didn't register your drone the camera wouldn't show an image and said disconnected .

    Never have I been so many questions when notifying airport

    hey there. I'm in Murrieta Ca. on vacation and I'm near a small airport and apparently a couple of helicopter pads. I've flown here a couple of years ago and went over to notify the tower and they acted as if I was a nuisance and told me to just go fly. Recently I downloaded airmap and now to...

    Lost my Mavic Air in a first day

    Hi Ryan... At the time I had a fpvlr antenna on my r.c. Stock the range is about 2 miles or so on my i1 and is far enough to get a huge rush. In fact I don't need to fly very far these days for thrills. I have a blast flying over milerton dam here in the foothills of Fresno .

    Pilot Has Distance Question

    That gut feeling is why I fly.I get an adrenaline rush very similar to riding a wheelie on my motorcycle at over 120 mph. I still get that rush after flying for few years and love it.

    Lost my Mavic Air in a first day

    Hi there . Yes I have on many occasions back in the day before all the FAA regulations came out .. I've been out more than four miles before with my inspire 1 and barely made it back to the home point with four percent battery remaining .To be honest I find blos flights to be very exzileratting !

    Loosing signal

    I'm not sure what the laws are in Indonesia ,but I wouldn't want to find out the hard way..

    Loosing signal

    Because a drone flying that high could cause major issues to maned aircraft if a collision should occur . I believe they should have places that would allow for high altitude flights ,but these days there has been too many people flying recklessly around airports above 400 ft agl. Flying over...

    Hi.. No problemo. I don't think you can set the altitude higher than 500 meters and wouldn't suggest you fly higher than 400 feet agl.

    Loosing signal

    You have to be on the ground to set the channel . click the custom button and pick the best channel by imputing the channel number. You'll see what channel your on .it will be in blue.

    Loosing signal

    Hi there. It seems to help if you select the video transmission channel to manuel and pick the best one. Seems like 5.8 ghz seems to be the ticket. If you can't get good video transmission on 5.8 ghz you might have a bad antenna or main board or both like my first mavic air.

    Lost my Mavic Air in a first day

    When it comes to flying against the wind I look at it like im swimming up river .. If I don't swim fast I'll be swept away. Same goes for the air. If your losing ground you need to fly with full power or you will be swept away.. If you know you're out of battery then find a good landing spot...

    Unexpected Crash

    Thanks for pointing that out. Now I'll make sure and adjust my settings in the go4 app.

    Unexpected Crash

    Looks like you were correct ,but my p2v+ and my inspire 1 will shut off in mid flight. Guess they have updated the csc in the go4 app so people don't accidentally activate it..Perhaps it's this way in the go app these days also..

    Unexpected Crash

    I'm pretty sure all dji aircraft will shut down when a csc is initiated,but maybe they updated the procedure .
