    LATEST APP UPDATE FOR MAVIC MINI

    Nope, as others here will tell you. Maybe googleplay pushes 1.1.10 only for those who run Android 10, and the update is not ready yet for Android 9 user? It's DJI... We will never know anyway. Apparently 1.1.9 has bugs, erratic behavior.

    So no stuttering, nothing on the ASUS? If you find the time to perform the following test, I would really appreciate it: -Mavic powered up, resting on something (log, or any support), move the gimbal up and down rapidly, does the image feed stutter, do you see steps as the gimbal cycles up and...

    I kept my M8 FHD because I got tired of searching, without the compass, the only thing you lose is the little arrow on the map that points to where the transmitter is. Not a big deal for me since I fly pretty much 100% LOS. I am tempted to look for a Zenpad now. Can it work without a cellular...

    LATEST APP UPDATE FOR MAVIC MINI

    1.1.10 is only on Apple. Not on Android yet. On Android, sill 1.1.9 which has bugs, careful. Erratic behavior reported here and there.

    Tough to say what will work without actually trying. If you look at the specs, a Lenovo TabM10 should smoke the M8 FHD but the problem is not coming from tablet manufacturers, it comes from DJI and the awkward way they code their. Apps. First they do Apple, then they port over to Android. Most...

    Mavic Mini - Was I Unrealistic ?

    There might be a little bit of marketing involved in that statement from DJI. We are holding a reasonably powerful bi-directional WIFI device in our hands, it sends code the the Mini with one antenna and receives code that contains a large amount of data, the video feed and some telemetry info...

    Actually, the 3 foot cable is good to have too if you want to fly with VR goggles, dirt cheap, put your phone in them and you can FPV your mini. There is an Aussie dude explaining how to do it, you need the Litchi app but it could be a cool thing to do:

    It's tricky to find the right cable. They need to be OTG enabled, properly shielded (read a thicker cable than normal) and the right length. I can get this one in Canada via amazon, 12 inches long: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07PLYT98D?ref=em_1p_0_ti&ref_=pe_2331390_527980700 Here is...

    Mavic Mini - Was I Unrealistic ?

    -Airplane mode just before taking off (to allow the maps to cache, this is important) Kill all radios (wifi, BT< everything) if you are using a tablet. If you have a cell phone on you, put it on airplane mode too. -I leaver the DJI APP transmission settings at their default. -The flat backside...

    Mavic Mini - Was I Unrealistic ?

    HOw are you placing the antennas. The flat rear portion need to face the aircraft's relative position. If they are pointed horizontaly or down, range is reduced by half or something. Also, are you putting your phone on flight mode just before taking off. I noticed by doing so I get much better...

    Confirmed. LENOVO M8 FHD + this cable: 100% functional, no stuttering: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07L2RP5C5 Couple of quick notes: -Avoid installing too much stuff on you Lenovo, install the apps you need on your phone rather (Weather apps, drone maps, etc....). Every app you install...

    Hi Tufargon, I ordered a new USB cable, it arrives tomorrow. I will test it as soon as it arrives. ***Do not buy this cable***: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01M5GZ3N0 The new one I am testing tomorrow is this one: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07L2RP5C5 I hope it is a better quality...

    You got me thinking with this cable thing.... So I dug up the cable that came with the Mavic Mini. Though it is too short, I figured I would test it on the Lenovo M8 FHD right on the table without the tablet support thingy.... Fired up the app..... Tested the gimbal wheel on the remote up and...

    You make a good point Gajman, we are stuck with digging up a proper cable. That is a good point Gajman, we are at the mercy of whatever we can find on Amazeballz as far as cables are concerned, we all know how reliable the descriptions can be. I got the Cable Creation cable FloridaPete mentions...

    Sweet, thanks for chiming in Ger! I did not mean signal related break ups or range issues, rather, the video feed on the tablet in the Fly App. without even taking off. Just 5 feet away. With the higher spec Lenovo, I get the stutter simply moving the gimbal up and down just sitting on the...
