I crashed this spring and had to replace gimbal plate as well. It's a VERY touchy procedure but can definitely be done yourself. Just shrink down your hands to 50% size before starting. There is a good video on youtube showing the whole process. There's very slow internet where I am...

One nice thing about the lower average pitch is that it's easily drowned out by common ambient noise like cars on pavement or leaves rustling on trees. I had both sounds present a few days ago and the Plat's sound was masked between 100-150 ft.

+1 Sometimes a particular view catches my eye as a good still shot. I even reflexively press the still shot button but I'm usually always recording so it does nothing. Yes, I could grab a still from the video later, but I might not be able to remember that specific shot when reviewing video...

I believe you. But what we consider issues might differ. Did you create a user account with DJI? Has your phone app ever sent information to DJI? Have you ever flown up a steep slope, staying under 400 AGL but higher than 500 meters above your launch elevation? Do you get warnings of any kind...

This is exactly why I wanted to make those modifications. It wasn't so I could fly over military bases or fly at 10,000 ft as some suggested. Nor was it so I could enable super sport mode or anything like that. What I wanted to avoid was needing to click off multiple notifications and...

This is true and I mistakenly thought for a few years now that we were finally done once and for all with interlaced nonsense. So can someone explain why the Mavic camera records video at 29.97 fps? As far as I can tell it's not interlaced, but it's not true 30 fps either. (It always bothers...

Place your bets, folks! I'm about to go for my first test flight. Never owned or flown a drone before. Got a MPP yesterday and spent all night inserting internal SD card, rolling back firmware and adjusting flight control parameters, then re-flashing current firmware, updating RC firmware...

This is after loading .400 with DUMLdore on a new MPP

Now the big question: You can fly the Plat with no errors reported (and so far no actual errors observed) with mixed FW and MP props. But is it quiet? Some of us Plat owners want to have our cake and eat it too! :D

So did you do it? :) It seems like this discussion re: the ESCs and FW rollback is spread over a few threads. I think I saw another user had success with a mixed FW version, but I don't know the details and the wiki is pretty confusing when it comes to FW mixing procedures. MPP with quiet...

My first drone, an MPP is in the mail. I've devoured the manual multiple times, many many hours of youtube, and read through many many forum threads here and elsewhere. Of all the detailed specs and info I have found, no one has laid out, in simple terms, what aspects of the Mavic system are...

Hello there, I've been posting for about a week and just ordered a Platinum Fly More Combo. It should arrive on Friday! I plan on doing some firmware work right out of the box and I'm still shopping for a DJI GO version that suits me. (Could use some advice on specific versions on FW and...

I thought you have never powered on your MPP: For Sale: Mavic Pro Platinum Fly More Bundle – New $1,075 :confused:

Well, I appreciate the lively discussion that ensued! I'm glad some of you understood what my long original post was trying to convey. My apprehension was caused by a fear of updates 1) introducing new bugs, 2) removing either capabilities or features I will have grown accustomed to, and 3)...
