Amateur Radio. I actually use my Mavic Pro to put up my wire antennas in very tall trees. In fact I purchased my drone in 2017 especially to hang these antennas without leaving a trace.

As of July 12, 2023, the Mavic Pro Platinum is no longer rated as FAA compliant for Remote ID. The FAA as rescinded its Declaration of Compliance for the Platinum. See information below: Notice of Rescission of Unmanned Aircraft Systems Remote Identification Declaration of Compliance, Tracking...

Any further posts or thoughts on this? Having the same problem with Mavic Pro 1 in November 2021. Many thanks. Lorin

I couldn't agree more. I took the Institute's "50 Maneuvers" course - exceedingly important and for me very difficult- even as an experienced Part 107 Certified Pilot . This course was the first time I had found any online course that identifies, analyzes and offers a discreet flying practice...

After 4 years with the Mavic Pro -most of this time using a MavMount and iPad Mini- I fly only with the pinch technique for fine and precise control. Learning to simultaneously control the gimbal pitch with the left hand third finger and center focus (or other programmed actions) with the...

The new Litchi beta test has waypoints for both the Mini 1 and the Mavic Air 2. I do not know how long it will be before the generally available version will be available., nor if and when Waypoints will be available for the Mini 2.

In the last few months I have purchased three brand new Dji Mavic Pro batteries from the Dji repair center. And one of these I had to return for a replacement (after its first flight indicated on AirData that one cell exhibited continual major deviations) which they completed quickly which...

Amateur Radio I have been a licensed ham for nearly 60 years. Now I use my Mavic pro to install portable long wire or end fed antennas high up in the trees - and then bringing them down while leaving no trace. I am Part 107 Certified.

I have often had my Mavic Pro stop when facing into or towards the afternoon sun, which it seems to mistake for a physical obstacle. By disabling the forward obstacle avoidance in the Go 4 app. my Mavic will then fly forward in the same direction in which it had originally been unable to...

Thank you for your post. This is very encouraging. I will notify Dji this coming week. I had recently a very good experience with Dji when applying the Refresh insurance onto my new Mavic Pro. Thanks again. Lorin

When I had a similar experience with an AT.C restriction and inability to take off, it was because I did not see on my iPad screen due to the glare outdoors, an “ I accept” entry box in the app notification pop up that had to be checked before the ATC clearance code I had entered could be...

Thank you for your posts. I did not notify Dji about this incident. Is this something I should do, and if so is there a recognized best way of accomplishing it? Thanks for any information about contacting Dji. A year ago I attempted several times to receive assistance from Dji regarding a...

Hi Bud, Thank you again for your reply and for your evaluations and assessments. It is unfortunate, of course, that the information needed to fully determine what ultimately went wrong is not available. It is particularly concerning since the final flight appeared to be extremely stable and...

Hi Bud, Thank you for your input and for your time. Please explain why you find it was a compass calibration issue. Is that obvious from the files I submitted? I include here a .pdf of the .csv file, (compressed in Zip) at first glance the font appears tiny and unreadable but when zoomed...
