    Skins affecting video signal?

    I have never had an issue with video lag while flying until I put a skin on my Mavic recently. I put a carbon fiber look decal from Amazon that covered most of the drone. Looked really cool. The next day, I had four projects to shoot. While shooting the first three, I experienced serious lag...

    AA Gate Attendant forced me to Check Mavic.

    I print off a copy of my FAA registration, take my batteries and put electrical tape around the contacts, then put each batt in a separate ziplock back in my Pelican case.

    calibrate vision sensors

    Thanks for the help. Discovered I was holding the drone backwards. I thought facing forward meant away from me not towards me. Works fine now. I get to keep my Rookie badge I guess.

    calibrate vision sensors

    Hi there- I am having same issues as you. Full firmware downloaded and installed, drone is flying well, just can't get rid of error message. Did the goofy calibrate dance and still nothing. Any ideas?
