    Clicking sound

    I never noticed this before, or at least until after the recent firmware update. After running and shutting down, there is a clicking sound coming from inside the main housing. The power is off, nothing is running. I checked the gimbal, does not appear to come from there. If I remove the...

    Airmap traffic alerts

    Wonder if anyone else has noticed traffic alerts after creating a flight in Airmap? I saw them twice, but the app was open and on the screen when it happened. Once I switched into DJI GO, I never got anymore alerts, but know for sure something flew right past the area I was in.

    Flight map doesnt show no fly zones

    I'm using the same exact setup. DJI Go doesn't show them on the map, but it will warn you if you try to fly in controlled airspace. I use Airmap for airspace maps and it's pretty solid. You can even send digital notification to ATC if you need to fly in controlled airspace. Hope this helps.

    Litchi glitch

    Same here. As bad as it sounds, at least I'm not the only one having the problem. Any other apps available that can do a pano so we don't need Litchi? That's the only reason I'm using it for now, although I have tried a route with it too.

    Litchi glitch

    Interesting you mentioned taxing your device. Today was the first time I ever got a message that my phones CPU was being overworked

    Litchi glitch

    I'm reading about some other users having glitches in Litchi. The 2 issues I had didn't match anyone else's so I wanted to share them. Both happened using the Pano mode on a P3P (Using an iPhone 6 Plus and most recent iOS update). First time, 2 issues happened, although one of them was not the...

    DJI App

    The smaller iPad mini might not have the CPU power to run the app. Same thing happened to me with an older model iPad. Didn't work at all. Just a thought.

    GPS failed - lesson learned

    Thanks for the detailed explanation. Seems like I launched from a not so ideal location on this one and got lucky. Good lesson learned.

    GPS failed - lesson learned

    I don't calibrate before each flight so it was not calibrated here [I've read the "do I or don't I calibrate" arguments, I'm the latter]. The last time was a few weeks prior in a grass field after I accidentally gave it the kill command at 200 feet and it came down into some bushes. Done many...

    GPS failed - lesson learned

    I thought the same thing at first about the wharf, but after I landed, rebooted and relaunched it was fine. I planned to fly just for a couple minutes on the low battery to check the conditions, set the camera right, etc. Then I put in a fresh one.

    GPS failed - lesson learned

    Thanks. File uploaded. DJI Phantom & Mavic Flight Log Viewer - PhantomHelp.com Looks like it could have been a compass issue after takeoff that then led to the GPS dropping out. The yaw errors towards the end were probably me trying to recalibrate after I landed.

    GPS failed - lesson learned

    Hello everyone! Wanted to share an experience I had that surprised and scared me at the same time. The other day I had setup to shoot some video around Baltimore's Inner Harbor. This was going to be my first time flying out over water so I was taking my time getting setup. I did what I always...
