Beep volume on the controller

[Techz10]

I flew my mavic yesterday I have flown it about 35 times already. Yesterday for some reason I was not getting any sound from my controller. I taught when I updated firmware something happened, I check all menus on controller and couldn't find anything on volume control. I know the controller has a speaker on it I can hear it when controller starts up. But I would not get any sound when flying i was getting frustrated because I like the sound. I took my phone out and realized my volume on phone was off turn it up and decided to try and fly again and I had my sound back. At least on my controller it works this way and with galaxy note 5 attached to it.

most sounds/voice messages come from the phone, but the RTH comes from the controller as far as I know.

A pair of cheap ear plugs should solve the issue.

No it doesn't solve it. The sound is really annoying to all around, not just the pilot.

JK. I also feel annoying so I rarely initiate RTH unless I really lost connection with the MP. If I am not sure about the orientation, I simply change it to HomeLock and pull the right stick backward.

 

[finalfantasyfans]

BTW, you can simply turn off the controller to initiate RTH if you don't want to hear the beep.

The only thing that we can do is to set the low battery alert to 15%. Critical warning is always at 10%... this is the only way to make ur mavic controller stop Beep Beep Beep Beep Beep for few more minutes ...

I've never used homelock but this confused me. Doesn't homelock make the drone face the homepoint? Then right stick backward would cause flying in reverse away from the home point?

 

[msinger]

Doesn't homelock make the drone face the homepoint?

No. It makes the drone fly toward the home point when the right stick (elevator) is pulled down.

 

[plrogers1126]

That seems strange. If it's facing you why would right stick up to fly forward not be the right thing to do?

 

[armoredsaint]

The sound comes from your phone not the controller if volume is off on your phone you won't hear anything

you own a bebop don't you?

 

[Cash]

Home lock does not make the Mavic face you. It makes it so if you pull back on the right stick it will take a straight line back to you at whatever altitude you are at and no matter what direction the Mavic is facing.

 

[JHSlayer]

Amazed that this is an issue. Must mean DJI is solving the real problems people were having. Progress.

 

[KiterTodd]

Yeah, don't like it. It should have a vibrate option or something, if not just a volume control.
While I want to be alerted, it draws too much attention to the monkey holding the controller.

 

[Joey MTB]

+1 to DJI fixing this issue please

Not keen on opening up the controller

Seconded, you just have to remember to keep a close eye on your battery level.

Yay! - they heard us - Just noticed this now - if possible I will try tomorrow to see if it works with RTH also....

It does not work with RTH

 

[Nathan Hoover]

It does not work with RTH

That's right - they didn't hear us at all. I've NEVER had my RC battery below 15% but have had my Mavic battery low enough to get those annoying beeps. But really what's annoying more than that is the RTH beeps. Sigh.

 

[stratos]

Yeah , there is no way to reduce the volume.
I remember asking directly DJI about it and well it appears that its all in there to protect them for lawsuits.

- Critical error - alarm
- Low battery - alarm
- RTH - alarm
