Mavic Pro Battery Mod

[Racenviper]

Wow! Two drops of solder makes a big difference. Flight time almost 31 minutes. Dual 1500 lipo's came back at 10.6v each (picture was a couple minutes after I attached the charger). Main battery at 7%.

I was wondering when some would figure out the point contact was a huge current heated joint.

A bad joint equals heat and wasted energy.

I'm feeling ya, I'm not gonna rush into it not just yet,,,gonna continue to search the different threads until I get comfortable with adventuring out into deeper waters..lol

I highly recommend having a factory Mavic and your mod'ed Mavic (and a 3rd for parts)

This releases all the stresses associated with hacking your bird!

A bit off topic, but since we have everyone's attention, I got this message a few minutes after takeoff on my last run and it never went away for the flight duration. Never seen this in-flight before, only on the ground next to big metal objects. Any ideas?

I think your sma connectors are too close to the rear compass/GPS module. You mounted the connectors immediately under that metal plate where the compass and gps are located in the rear top cover. You should check the sensor status where you can see the compass data. Compass data can be seen under aircraft advanced settings, sensors.

Thx for the tip Cybernate. I should be able to do initial tests later this week. Something tells me this is going to be a science experiment in finding what all this breaks.

nice work beanbubba!

question to you guys - some folks want me to do the dual battery mod for them on Mavic. What to you think is a decent price? Is $75 too much? For those who have done it, how much time/effort do you think its worth? Not trying to get rich, but don't want to short change myself. Thoughts?

$75 is too low. That's a significant mod. Maybe $125.

Paul Shaffer gets $200 and he only brings out one cable. Now that does include return shipping and a battery holder but........

Yeah, $200 is what I'd expect. $125 is a like a minimum amount.

 

[sprtbkrydr]

I'd gladly pay $125 to get it done myself.

$99.98!!
Seriously i would not mind paying €100 for a decent mod. As long as it's done without breaking anything else
Though you should not be liable for small scuffmarks or magnetic interference.
I ve modded several remotes for free and all went ok. Only done it after owner accepted some risks involved.
For modding mavic id also ask a fee (for remote too nowadays, my time is limited)
since more risk and time consuming.
€100 is still cheap but do not want to make it too hard for fellow hobbyists.

Thanks to all before me... Special thanks to @Maclak.. cheers mate.
Connected directly onto Main cable solder points, clip holds xt60 solid and lets me lift top cover off...Flies well but no long runs due to wind...Cheers lads..Now the Nano Boost..

@digdat0 :
Just for comparing..some ahhhollls making money just making single "changes" in ass2. Below is removing NFZ.


Edit: I understand the urge to make profit but cannot deny this kind of opportunism makes me feel a bit somethingsomething.

 

[ZALEXANDERK]

That looks super nice.

Cheers, ongoing for a while but a day n its done, well That part..also going the Nano Route.. Plus a few Boosts. as @Maclak said a Mavic on Steroids...

That's fine. Nothing is forcing people to pay that. If they don't want to do the research, 50Euro seems appropriate.
