landing

I was in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic on vacation. I launched the Mavic 3 from the beach area on a beach chaise lounge. After flying it without issues, I tried to land the drone, but it came to a hover about 3’-0” or 4’-0” up in the air above the chaise lounge, but it would not land. The...

Hello all. Twice in the past five or six flights my 2s went into "emergency landing" mode without any low battery warning or even going into RTH. When these happened I immediately looked at the battery indicator and it was in the red. I've never flown my batteries into the red. How it jumped...

Hello everyone, happy Christmas! I have expanded my drone fleet, the DJI PHANTOM 3 Standard! Two questions I noticed after the first test flights, where I have not yet found a suitable solution to. 1. in the quick description you can see a button that initiates the landing from vertical...

Last night I used my Mavic 2 Pro with full battery and when attempting to land manually the drone would turn on landing lights and stopped about 5 feet above the landing zone, I attempted to land with manual controls and the drone kept "bouncing" back up a couple inches each time I would attempt...

I was able to get in over an hour flying yesterday. I am getting more comfortable with the sticks. I do well heading away, and pretty good coming back. It's the east/west directions that I'm weakest with, but I am getting better. Yesterday I practiced general flying, landing, and started...

I flew near an airport the other day, about 3 miles away. It was class E and I did the dji unlock zone thing. It was a somewhat overcast day, and I did not see or hear anyone using the airport for the two hours I was out there. It occurred to me that I don't know what the ranges for approach...

Newbie here. Problem? was learning how to use the Smart Gestures. Drone was following as intended and then suddenly landing. The propellers kept spinning fast. I ran over and grabbed my phone to control drone with phone. Later, in a different "session"/launch, it took off almost out of...

Hello. Whenever I hit the RTH button (or the RTH screen icon) my Mavic 2 Pro will return but is always about 3 metres away from the take-off spot; I use a foldable heli-pad. I always cancel and then land manually. Is anyone else having this problem? I saw a video and the guy was describing the...

Anyone else had this issue with the DJI Mavic 2 Pro? #DJI #Mavic2Pro was going so well ...until today. Now has a #fault with the downward sensor decided to land with 75% battery

Went for a hike today and took my M2P with me just in case. The wind was mild, so I flew a few times, ran through 2.5 batteries. My goal was to try a few things (more on that in the future posts), including precision landing, which I was still uncertain about. So I decided to let the SW do its...

Hi, I am experimenting with Mavic Pro on a boat using a wide-flat netting and having DJI propeller guards fitted to Mavic. The proof of concept was to land and launch the Mavic from the boat netting with the downward sensors switched off. The netting helps to cushion off the roll, heave and...

Hello all, I purchased the mavic from a seller. I got a great deal but I have been having some issues. I am going to stay grounded until I can get some advice. Sometimes the mavic flys perfect but most of the time I am having an issue. When I do a manual take of everything is ok. I get up to...

Hello Pilots, We have created a water landing mod for the Mavic / Mavic Plat. If you have some other mods you would be interested that hasn't been done yet or needs to be 3D printed and sent to you hit us up and we can work something out. [This video was shot by Spark and that thing is really...

I bought a foldable 80cm heli landing pad which came in a convenient circular carrying bag - great! The only problem is I can't work out how to re-fold it to get it back in the bag . Can anyone help please?

Mr. "NS films&editing" flew very close to NFZ airport and basically was touching planes while they’re landing. I hope this guy will be punished somehow and serve as an educational example for others. Here’s an original footage of this incident:

If I land somewhere and take off again why would I want to make that my new homepoint? Is there a way to turn that off?

I almost went into the lake yesterday when a slight unexpected gust threw me off target after my drone accepted the landing zone and began descending. My over corrections didn't help any. That being said if maybe I had toned down controls and also the ability to adjust height on my own instead...

Hi. Can anyone assist in telling me the operating limitations (such as crosswind, visibility, precipitation etc), and also, specific procedures (start, take off, in flight, landing and shutdown) of the DJI Mavic Pro? Thanks.

Couple of days ago I did a small test flying over an empty field during the night it was just after 10pm so not completely dark yet, I had my vps ON, landing was rather easy as usual, no surprise at this point but... 9min flight - no wind at all, perfect weather condition, no strong lights...

I remember flying my first drone, a phantom 3. I flew it out to sea and didn't realize that when the battery is low, the phantom will automatically fly back. I took off on a cliff so I started panicking. Worried that the drone will crash or landing in water. Luckily, I stayed 'semi calm' and...
