Did you buy this new? You're describing the "dreaded stress cracks" that are much discussed here, and if you're showing evidence of them this quickly, a warranty claim might be a real good idea. As for firmware, my strategy has been to hold for a few weeks on updates, then check here and RC...

is the gimbal clear and making it through it's startup 'dance?' I've had situations where it will boot without reporting any problem but won't pitch because it caught on something when initializing. Update all the firmware, let it cool down, calibrate IMU, gimbal, and compass, and see if you...

I actually prefer my phone in flight mode (appropriately enough) just to minimize any harmonic interference. Cache maps ahead of time and you're golden

'This video is private' I think the first thing to establish is whether you're seeing visible shaking at idle or in the air. Looked like yaw-based vibration from the first vid, which kinda points to props. I suspect that the original props (I use the carbon reinforced ones now) can take a set...

For clarity's sake, the camera can roll 90° The extended upward tilt range seems to be the same as the phantoms, going by materials we've seen so far...but it has already stumped at least one video reviewer that couldn't find it.

HA...where is the forehead-slapping emoji? I need that right now (yes, Skynet was the name of the computer responsible for the terminator giving the thumbs up in the gif I attached) Also yeah...not legal.

Yeah, me too

Hard to say for sure without shipped units...recording will most likely not be effected by flight status, but there is some landing intelligence that happens with the Mavic that we don't know many details about yet (it seems it may be more or less auto-landing even if you attempt to set it down...

I don't have map pilot but that strikes me as pretty serious overkill. Start with whatever dpi you want for your final print and work backward from there. For a print that big, I wouldn't bother with much above 150dpi unless you REALLY need to get close and inspect details, and then maybe 300 if...

^^^ this. Do yourself a huge favor and add a cheap indoor quad to your shopping spree (call it "tuition") and fly the crap out of that. You need to build coordination skills so that the sticks are second nature regardless of aircraft orientation, which just takes practice. A little qx nano or...

I personally won't get near a flying phantom but FWIW if you're not already using a neck strap or lanyard, you might find it helpful for one-handed controller interaction.

All indications are that it will refocus only when commanded by a screen tap or C-button (if set up for that)...and as such will remain fixed, shooting or not, until the next focus command. Craft aren't shipping and software and firmware have the potential to affect this, but from what we know...

Bump and some addition candidates here: • No manually-selectable ATTI Mode as of yet • Leg folding mechanisms tested to 5000 actuations (and do not contain position sensors) • Aircraft will boot (and presumable record) while folded • Gimbal bubble cover can be used in flight, but is not...

So many times this question has been asked. It's right on the website; Lightning and Micro USB included, USB-C not. Order DJI's separately or just get your own already. Search, people... search!

Interesting...i'd be curious to see the weight on that GetterBack...if there's a CO2 system in there it's probably enough to impact battery life a little. Good find though. Also welcome to the board! Forgot in my first reply. (and don't get too comfortable...I'm sure this'll move over to a...
