Mavic 4 Pro - 4G Dongle with RC2

It appears to be 25% more in weight compared to the original battery (~339 grams). So that's only 83 grams. Well within the payload capacity. If it ads 10 extra minutes to the maximum flight time that's about 20% and add a bit more for the plastic and stuff. I mean if you want to fly for an hour with enhanced transmission that's an option. Perhaps you would've come back with plenty of battery left and no stress as long as you thoroughly tested it first.
I get your point.

But, let's be realistic.

Real world, you'll get 50mins from that type of battery. Similar to the standard M4P battery, 40mims in the real world, instead of the quoted 51mins.

Is the extra 10mins worth the extra £100 - £150? Not really, when I can get another brand new genuine M4P battery for that money.
 
Do you need to use the modded DT DJI FLY app in the USA to use the Mavic 4 Pro with the Enhanced transmission?

I'm going to guess not because it's already in FCC here but I don't know for sure yet
I don’t think we can use the enhanced transmission module in the USA at all.

Man, that sucks...obviously for most people FCC will be sufficient, but once you've gone 4G transmission, it's whole different ball game.

I'm not saying it's 100% perfect, as sometimes there are signal blackspots, which will result in complete signalling loss, and an automatic RTH.
 
Naturally, I sold it, and bought the Mavic 4 Pro, and told the Mrs that it was "only an extra £100" 😄.
No worries; I apparently paid only $400 for my A3S Fly More Combo plus a wide angle lens, chargers. ND filters, 5 batteries etc. and a few months later, mysteriously, a Mavic 4 Pro Creator Combol plus ND filters , batteries etc. appeared in my collection, I mean all drones look similar, who's to question if I'm flying an A3S or Mavic 4 Pro.
Most things here suddenly appear out of nowhere 'oh I had it storage'; some things I can't dispute when I needed to replace my aging Ford SUV and wanted to purchase a new truck, had her on board with the idea of something like a Toyota truck for around 80k then instead ordered a GMC 2500HD AT4X AEV Edition, paid 10k over ask and she was there when I picked it up for 129K out the door but not including a hard tonneau cover, new snow tires, dashcam, winch plus a million other things that now add up to over $155k. Hey I love that truck because I can fit my 2 meter RC pattern plane fueslages in the back. What annoyed her most was my choice of a truck was based purely on a need to fit my RC plane fuselages in the bed, the GMC has an 82" bed :) She hates it, curses every time, its too high for her to easily get in/out on the rare occasion she travels in it.

It is genuinely incredible.

I came from a toy drone, back in 2015, which took 1 hour and 45mins to charge, in return for 5-8mins of flying, with no videos transmission or even auto hovering..just basic line of sight operation stuff.

Lost it within the 2nd flight, and whilst it cost me £20, I was still gutted.

I went away from the drone scene for 10 years, and returned with my 2nd drone purchase..an Air 3s Flymore Combo.

Which then followed hours of YouTube videos, only to find that the real demon amongst drones was the Mavic 4 Pro.

Naturally, I sold it, and bought the Mavic 4 Pro, and told the Mrs that it was "only an extra £100" 😄.

Happy with the Mavic 4 Pro so far..Just wish someone could create a Wide Angle Lense that does not need to wait for gumball calibration before fitting it etc..

DJI, or some of the other companies, need to get their finger out so I can spend my hard earned money on more unnecessary crap 🤣 .
I absolutely love your story! I come from a very similar background! I bought this cheap Chinese drone (I know, I know DJI is Chinese as well :D) Vivitar Skyflow for $80 or something, but I had a horrible experience with it. Just two days in, I lost control of it and it fell into my backyard swimming pool, but guess what, I did not want to give up, so I ordered some cheap parts on eBay and rebuilt it. Then comes next incident. Freakin drone goes suddenly out of control (again) and flies into my wife's expensive flower bush, so I panicked and tried to grab it, so it does not cause more damage, it cut my finger! Did not need stitches, like the person who posted his drone injuries in other thread, but it was enough, that I dropped my drone interest and all with a huge disappointment. Then, one of my close friends comes over and asks me for opinion for a drone he wants to purchase. It was the DJI Air 3S drone! I heard about DJI before, but never operated one. I told him about my bad experience, but he went forward and purchased it. Then he brings it over to show it to me, and guys, that was LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT! I ordered my own A3S, literally the same day, I still have it, but wanted to go bigger, with better camera, longer flight time. So when I learned about Mavic drones, using Hasselblad cameras, what NASA used for moon landing, I could not resist and purchased it! So here I am, having my A3S and M4P and I love them both dearly! Not a single regret spending money on them!

rc2 mavic 4 pro?
My current configuration is:

RC2 - Latest FW
Mavic 4 Pro (512gb version) - 1.000.000 FW
Demon Tweaks FCC mod, on the RC2.

4G works an absolute treat. Just have to avoid the error of updating the drone FW, when the RC2 is practically screaming at me to do it, lol.

FW updates for the RC2 are fine, but the minute you update the FW on the drone, it's game over, and you'll need to roll back the FW again.

Η τρέχουσα διαμόρφωσή μου είναι:

RC2 - Τελευταίο FW
Mavic 4 Pro (έκδοση 512gb) - 1.000.000 FW
Demon Tweaks FCC mod, στο RC2.

Το 4G λειτουργεί τέλεια. Απλώς πρέπει να αποφύγω το λάθος να ενημερώσω το λειτουργικό σύστημα του drone, όταν το RC2 σχεδόν μου φωνάζει να το κάνω, χαχα.

Οι ενημερώσεις FW για το RC2 είναι εντάξει, αλλά τη στιγμή που θα ενημερώσετε το FW στο drone, το παιχνίδι τελειώνει και θα πρέπει να επαναφέρετε το FW.
Τhank you!!!
 
Visit their site and pay the fee, which I think is around £25 or £30.

Then, you get a link to download DJI Fly App which has the FCC mod on it.

You then connect the modded DJI Fly app to your drone, and wait a few seconds.

Then check the transmission menu on the RC2 and it should be above the 1KM line.

Make sure you download the modded app on an older Android phone, because for some reason it's incompatible with the latest Android version..for example, I installed it on a Samsung S10.

Job done
