Has anybody stopped to think that maybe dji is doing this so that their drones and flight systems won't be used in terrorist attacks in places like Syria?
How do you focus the camera with the controller only? C1 for focus doesn't work unless the controller is connected to the phone..

Once they sell their quad to me it is no longer theirs. I paid for a product not renting it! I I'm responsible for how I use it!Has anybody stopped to think that maybe dji is doing this so that their drones and flight systems won't be used in terrorist attacks in places like Syria?
Hey there Rob,
Thanks for your input. I just can't help feeling that there is a limit to what DJI can "do" to those 'non-conforming pilots'. I still have my Mavic on .400, my app on .4 versions - and I always fly in airplane mode. I also disable the Go4 app after use (Android) whilst still in airplane mode, and I have a Firewall app that blocks all data in and out from whatever app I delegate. Interesting when I checked on the DJI app just how many times (100's) it tried to log into China. Guess what I'm trying to suggest is - the Mavic/RC and app realistically are never capable of knowing anything other than what's currently programed within when they are effectively severed from the Internet. I have not received any prompt through the app. I've reinstalled the .4 app after deleting all the previous files, engaged the firewall, and after disabling the app after use there have been no attempts to contact China - and I'm happy enough to continue this way with my Mavic oblivious to the outside world.
Just my thoughts.

Hi,
I'm still a newbie with Quads, although I've flown RC Fixed Wing for over 30 years. My local RC Club (Chartered with AMA in 1944) has Quad Nights on Wed,Thur.
I'm simply getting comfortable with flying the machine. I want to be stone cold proficient with how the machine flys before I start going any distance looking at an iPhone.
While I look forward to beginning to film, and shoot images I really am enjoying simply flying this amazing machine. Once you set it up in the App it remembers them.Without the iPhone it flys on it's last settings(at least this has been my experience as I'm the only person with a Mavic at my Club.)
Thanks for the question. ; )

I for one would be VERY interested in reading the reply (if any) you get from DJI!I also emailed DJI I would not have paid $1000. For the MP 35 days ago if I knew they would control the product that I paid for and own! I am not happy at all. The FAA can not regulate Hobby recreational drones here in the USA. So why can DJI? Again I did not buy my MP for them to later do this! DJI Will Severely Limit Your Drone if You Don't 'Activate' it Online

How do you cook Fish 'n Chips then?Even here in the UK the Forestry Commission in Scotland has banned frying.
Hmmmm... I'm guessing you have the setting set to AFC (Auto Focus Continuous), which focuses the camera periodically... Guess that will probably work..
BTW, if you really want to learn to fly a quad, then you shouldn't be practicing on a Mavic since it's way too stable in P-mode and it doesn't have a manual switch to ATTI mode, which is what you need to actually learn on.. You should spend money on one of the cheap Syma quads without all the smart features and fly that in the field... Then you'll learn to be able to compensate for wind, having to increase throttle as you come to a hover from forward flight, hover orientation in all directions, etc... Just like a RC heli, but much more stable and easier to control...
Their will be no law suits, no class actions. The whole thing is comical. You purchased their drone they maintain the software. You want to keep using their software you agree. Technically they haven't done anything.
