    Why my Air went out of control?

    This evening I went with some friends up to the mountains and set out to fly. Was chased away from one site by a cloud of mosquitoes, and inadvertently packed up my Air while still powered on. Some 5 to 10 minutes later at another site I opened the case and found it quite warm – but not absurdly...

    Smelly motor after crash

    Hi, Yesterday I crashed my Mavic Pro against a little hill. The drone and the gimbal are ok, just some little scratches, but now the back right motor has a burnt smell. I have reviewed that motor looking for blacked cooper wires but they look ok. I also have tried to hovering the drone at low...

    Crash during auto take-off

    I have a new Mavic Pro drone. After calibrating the compass and IMU I flew it successfully for the first time yesterday. Today, after updating the firmware and Fly Safe databases I tried to fly the drone again in a location about 300 metres from the first location. The grass was a little long...

    Unexpected Crash

    I have been flying the Mavic Air without problems but in retrospect the landings were off by over 5 feet consistently. I would just have to manually land it. Today on precision take off the drone rose about two feet and shot back rapidly striking an object. I checked all parameters which were OK...

    Losing 'Jedi' Control

    So, just thinking before I go out and try this. If I try the 'Gesture Mode' and can't control the Mavic Air, how can I gain control? Can I just grab the controller and gain control? I have also seen people doing the 'JEDI' trick without the controller. What do you do then? Thanks in advance.

    Compass error after yawing 360deg

    Hello everyone, I bought Mavic Pro a week ago and didn't have a single successful flight yet. I keep getting "Compass Error. Exit P-GPS mode..." error. Both compasses are working and are calibrated in an open field. (tested by putting metal thing to compasses - both react as they should). I...

    Crashed my new Mavic Pro, please help me repair it

    I’ve crashed my Mavic Pro an hour ago. I thought I would never do any damage to it, so I wanted to save the money and I didn’t buy the DJI Care Refresh. Looks like my skills are not as good as I’ve thought... The gimbal plate is bent and broken, flat ribbon is cut. The silver cable and camera...

    Mavic Air Fly-away
