    Customizing your C1 and C2 functions, what's yours?

    So suddenly I'm unable to bind the map-view to any of the C1 and C2 buttons. It does not show in the drop-down meny anymore. Anyone else with the same issue? Firmware 1.8 and DJI Go 2.9 and 3.0 for Android.

    I Can't Say Much But... LOOK!

    The Mavic could just as easily be named "Phantom Mini", and then it would deserve a place on this forum? I don't think a different name justify a separated forum, when the ecosystem is the same, many of the same function, knowledge and the appeal to the same interest group(Phantom owners).

    Reasons to hold off, besides camera?

    I agree with you on this one. Yes, you can get some great shot of snowy landscape, but most of the time it's just freezing cold, windy, foggy or/and dark. Bought my P3A during Christimas, and didn't really fly a lot until April/May. So with the Mavic I would most likely get it right away, or I...

    DJI Mavic Unfolding Animations

    Could be cool with a more compact drone that is more easy & less fragile to transport. I hope for smaller propels that makes less noise. I think the Phantoms draws to much wanted/unwanted attention with all the sound it makes. I often takes the Syma x5 for a "discrete spin" in the neighborhood...

    Can I charge the battery and remote at the same time ?

    I charge both from time to time, no problem. Compared to my laptop charger, it's nice and cool ;)

    Is the new body really better?

    No, there are some reports with cracked shell on new/reinforced bodies also on this forum, if I remember correct. Maybe less frequent? Hard to tell.

    P3P Shell cracked while flying !

    You probably have the old shell with no extra reinforcement. I can see your location is Denmark, and you should be able to claim warranty (reklamasjon) for two (2) years. This consumer law should superseed any warranty DJI may try to give you (if bought locally). If you didn't buy directly from...

    Esc status error??

    Agree. Was trying to think trough if I could have done anything wrong, but nothing comes to mind. I was flying in some heavy wind, but I hardly believe that is the cause. The P3 handles wind impressively well btw. The bird was sent to the vendor/store, and was returned in under 24 hour...

    Esc status error??

    I have just joined the "ESC Status Error" club! :mad::( No issues during the early morning flight, but the flight a couple of hour later trowed this error. And of course this is happening during my first couple of days in my holiday abroad (Denmark)!

    Does RTH work with Compass Error?

    One observation with the Phantom 4: I was flying together with a colleague of mine. He had NEVER EVER calibrated the compass. None the less, he had experience no issue with failsafe RTH. The app itself was yelling Compass error, calibration needed etc. No IMU calibration has ever been performed...

    Altitude Calculator

    I think Pythagoras could be at help here. Let's use this pythagoras calculator If a tree (or a building) is 15 meter tall and you are standing 100 meter away from it, it will give you an angle of ca. 8.5 degrees. Let's fill in 15 and 100. edge a = 15 (50 feet) edge b = 100 (330 feet) Gives...

    Is the Litchi App really worth $20?

    Do the Litchi app have a recent increase in price? In my currency, it's about 30$ now :eek: Is it 30$ also for you US people?

    Firmware v 1.8.80 released (with notes)

    No problem updating the bird, RC and app, but on my second flight, the following occurred: - Got a "Update Required" in the DJI Go app, ignored this, because that couldn't be right. Pretty sure I had the latest. Didn't get this on my first flight. - After flying for I while i got the "No Signal"...

    How many satellites does everyone get?

    P3A, usual 17-18, I have also seen 20/21. I bet I got a lot of both GPS and GLONASS-lock.Living around 60 N latitude
