Mavi Air FW Update - v01.00.0200

[dwallersv]

How do you change the UI to expose the feature on the goggles?

Update the goggles to firmware 300, swipe down on the touchpad with two fingers (shortcuts), it's right there.

It looks like the firmware did fix the shake problem. I have seen some videos showing the fix worked, and I've done a couple of flights with my Air and I no longer having the shake issue either.

IMU related cold shake issue gone with this update. Video transmission still sucks, lagging even at 50m distance with 2.4G, probably not possible to do better on WiFi. 5.8G a bit better, but incomparable with Mavic Pro.

Where are you flying? I can go out 3km+ with no issues on both 2.4 and 5.8.

In a small town and also country side. In Finland. I use FCC "mode" anyway, it's not CE issue.

After update no much improvements.

With Mavic Pro I can fly anywhere, 3km+, seating with RC at home or car.

Probably something defective then, or someone blasting hugely abnormal power wifi around.

I don't think it's defective. It's expected behavior for WiFi powered solution. They did really great job with their OcuSync in Pro, but Air with its WiFi maybe work/maybe not. What I want to say that Air is not for everyone. In cities (where still allowed to fly) it won't be hassle free expierence. Wouldn't definitely recommend to newbuyers. As a second one I will keep for its portability.

Bz101, please explain more about the smart capture. You say you can now launch it with a double press of the function button with no phone or controller. So you mean this is a button on the drone itself? Also want to know about the group picture option.

Even in congested areas my MA easily does 500m on 2.4 before the first drops. 5.8 is better. I can't think of an environment that completely cuts the feed at <300m unless someone's already hogging the spectrum in the way he shouldn't be.

Dude then something is wrong and you said you're in FCC mode I can get out easy 2 Miles every time in both channels and I'm in wifi Central! .... yeah we all know the mavic pro is better, but this isnt the mavic pro and for what it is "enhanced WiFi" they did a pretty good job. Have you tried going custom and picking a channel on 2.4 or 5.8?

Yes ....so the little green status button on the back of the Drone is actually a button so place the aircraft down. you don't need your phone or tablet start the aircraft up give it a good minute or two to acquire satellites and warm up. then press the button 2 times walk over to where you will stand you will see the camera look up at u...profit

Yes, I do custom on a free channel. Actually not much channels are busy.

The firmware update for the controller mentions changing the default control stick deadband settings. Anyone experience issues with the default settings this firmware changes on the remote? For example, moving the stick forward, does the aircraft have a good response or is there none until the stick is farther away from center? My remote is on older firmware and when I slightly touch the stick, the aircraft is responsive.

Honestly feels the same for me but changing "exp" settings in app. For p mode and sport mode really makes things alive or u can dumb things down
