    Mavic goes swimming or lands on cargo ship

    So I was flying out over Commencement Bay this morning with my modified Mavic. I had two external batteries mounted among other modifications. I had recently replaced the ESC board and was noticing that the batteries seemed to be draining slightly faster over the last day or two. I suspect this...

    2 Questions: One on APAS, other on setting battery discharge timer

    Loving the hell out of my new MA! But this is only my 2nd drone since the P3A. Q #1. On my P3A I had this setting where I can change the default battery discharge time from the default 10 days to something else. I cannot seem to find this in the MA DJI Go app. Is this even an option anymore? Q...

    Why inceased power consumption upwind?

    Does anyone know why the power consumption in sport mode at full speed is about 15% higher (from radar readings) when going upwind vs no wind at all, even though the tilt angle is the same at the maximum tilt angle of 35°? Using the moving slab of air concept shouldn't the power consumption be...

    Charging the Mavic Pro Controller

    Hey guys, Just a quick question. I always assumed that when the Remote Controller is fully charged, it will show a BAT 100 PCT message and that's when you pull out the charging cable. However, today, I charged the RC and then took a nap, and when I awoke about 1.5 hours later, the RC has no...

    Importance of Flight Time?

    I'm a casual photographer who has been planning to get a drone (the Mavic Pro Platinum was my pick). Like many people here I'm trying to see how the Air stacks up. I'd like to ask those of you with drones how important the flight time difference between the Pro and the Air might be. I won't be...

    Storing the batteries

    Hi guys. How do You mostly store the batteries? Just keep them laying around or any safer solutions? I have heard that the Bat-Safe is a pretty safe bet and according to this test it should also be OK with Mavic sized batteries: Ammo boxes are also pretty popular, also just keeping them on...

    Does Mavic Pro Battery fit Mavic Platinum?

    I'm sure this has been discussed already but I can't seen to locate it. Does the MP battery fit in the new Platinum? I see the cosmetics are different but other than that are they interchangeable? Thanks!!!

    There've been many conversations about Mavics just dropping out of the sky and one of the recurring "likely scenarios" is that the operator is assumed to have not inserted the battery properly and it somehow came loose. That may not be the case... This past week I had my MP rise suddenly and...
