Hi,

Has anyone tested the latest 4.2.16 on Mavic Air yet? If so, any issues?

Thanks,

D

I’ve updated and check out on ground (no flight until tomorrow). So far, so good

This from an operator here in Australia. (Edit: This is with a MP)
My findings on the latest app update. 4.2.16 it's crap ! aircraft discontinued 6 times even before got a launch.
This is after the previous version 4.2.14 also had disconnect problems but not as bad as this latest version.
I wasn't game to fly with it after it constantly disconnected.
I went home and deleted this version and installed 4.2.12 and went back out and had no problems I used 5 batteries and didn't disconnect once.
The other thing I found with the last 2 versions was it took a long time to connect to aircraft.
versions 4.2.14 and 4.2.16 have problems with disconnect

Thank you Simmo. I've heard the last update caused some people some issues as well.

I believe the person that made these comments is using an S8. Therefore Android.

The new European Data Protection laws come into force on 26th May, most of what you’re seeing is to do with that. I don’t think it’s any different from what you already applied when you first log in, you’re just making your agreement, or not, official. Make sure you read what won’t work if you don’t accept!

Any idea if the FCC hack still works in the v4.2.16?

Ok - just got back from 3 batteries worth of flying using the latest app (iOS) and MA firmware.... absolutely PERFECT! No loss of FCC, no unstable video, no loss of signal over a reasonable distance (furthest away was 620m), no undemanded movements.... just a wonderful hour of flying & filming! I love this little drone!

#1 - I have not found the build 4.2.16 for Android anywhere - Is there a link available?

#2 - Will this version work with Mavic Pro with latest firmware?

#3 - I am trying to fix a pixelated video issue on my Note 4 - currently downgrading from 4.2.14 to 4.2.12
