Same with the zoom in manual, there is no way to change the shutter speed via a physical button on Android it seems. It just beeps and does nothing. Hopefully they will fix it in the next update. They also removed the awesome C2 iso/shutterspeed option in the menu which really sucks...

That is because the camera aka drone is moving during the dolly zoom. With a stationary camera there is no difference in perspective between zooming and cropping. Talley is actually correct. Here is a great explanation zoom vs crop and perspective. Perspective Control in Images - Focal Length...

I should get some spare parts on Sunday, my brother might come for a visit and he has a crashed MP with good front legs. Is it easier to change the whole arm or just the motor? I'm ok with soldering. I have already changed the back left leg, hence the red sticker color. I wanted to make it look...

There is even wear on the top side of the prop which I have no idea how it occurs. Imgur The bottom side of the prop hits the body. Imgur

I recently encountered a weird problem which seems to be getting worse and worse. The MP will barely stay in the air anymore, it flips upside down immediately if I apply more than ~6000 rpm and struggles to correct the course. After a short hovering session, all motors get warmer than normal due...

Yea don't worry about durability, it's surprisingly well built. I have over 108h and 2300km on mine. Flies perfectly despite numerous crashes and flying in the rain. I've only replaced props (many times) and the ribbon cables twice.

Check that there aren't any plastic tabs from the props stuck inside the motor which would block it from turning. Happened to me in a crash.

Here is a video I made of flying the Mavic in manual mode. It's my first time flying a quad in manual mode, super fun and scary at the same time. I will not answer any how to questions as per the forum rules.

I'm not entirely up to date on the issue since I use an older firmware, so correct me if I'm wrong. I do not believe you are forced to 'upgrade' the firmware. This locked issue is due to not logging into the app after they started requiring it. Have you tried logging out and logging back in? Or...

1) The beeping you are hearing is the controller thinking the wheel is stuck. The same thing happens if you hold a stick non centered when you turn on the remote, it starts beeping wildly. This is a warning beep in case a wheel or stick gets out of alignment and needs to be calibrated. Just let...

Are you sure it wasn't a firmware inconsistency slider. IIRC there is some kind of a vision system bug or battery FW discrepency error between the mavic and the battery running .400. I'm on 400 and I used to get that message way back, even if I swiped the slider and updated (took maybe 1minute...

Hmm, that doesn't sound too good, thanks for the info. In that case I need to do something about mine before it breaks off. I'll see what I can come up with in the coming weeks.

I just noticed my rear left should tab is also cracked. It must have been after a crash which happened over a month ago. I fly in sport mode all the time and just noticed the back leg overextending when I tried moving the Mavic around while it was hovering. I'm not going to replace it since I...

I'm at 117 cycles on a 4 month old battery and GO4 reports 3614mah out of 3830, which would be around 94%. Healthy drones on the other hand reports Battery Life at 90%. Others on this forum have reported much higher cycle counts.

I always pick up the MP and insert the battery with both hands. One hand on each side, fingers on the bottom heatsink and firmly press down with both thumbs. I never liked the way the MP flexes when you push the battery down with the MP a table. When you hold it in your hands you can push the...
