I am running the latest version of DJI Go for my Advanced 3 and will shortly be taking ownership of the Mavic. Reading the Mavic user manual I need to download DJO Go 4. Slightly confused as the very front screen of the existing Go app has the Mavic on it. So basic question; I assume I need the...

I fly over the sea most of the time. Generally don't fly when it's more than 10mph. It's easy - never go too low and follow the coast line for some great footage. Have fun. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

I had the same issue and the nice lady from DJI told me to re format the SD card then load the firmware again. Note - format on the iMac did not work but with the DJ App did. All sorted and updated. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

Even with a good calibration - I've asked this question before and understand that you should not launch near any metal; railings etc. Can someone please confirm this. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

Never had any bad experience at all; as above people who are curious, and wanting to see the photos I'm taking. Always fly in remote locations such as fields and beaches. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

I have also had this message with my P3A a couple of times. Re starting the drone or moving it to another location seems to work for me. The first time, the warning popped up and went almost immediately, and did not notice it until I checked the flight log on Healthy Drones ! I now check more...

Please see my post today:- Going in circles... I think I have touched on this topic before - even with a good calibration, are you saying that you should not launch anywhere near metal

Thank you kindly gentlemen - as always, the advice from this forum is invaluable. Although the manual is a 'must to read' - in the field, things sometimes work out differently to what you expect.

Quick question for reassurance more than anything. No problems at all with firmware updates and had good flights. Today; took off - most probably too close to some parked cars overlooking the beach. 1) P3A on take-off (which I attempted three times) did not hover as usual and drifted in...
