Here's a report Heavy Wind The Mavic Mini's Achilles Heel

I think we can all agree that the spark has better ability in strong winds (because of 50g extra weight? more powerful motors?) and we can agree that the Mini has improved radio comms and flight time. If my main criteria is stability and better control of drone and assuming I will not ignore...

Thinking about making the switch myself here are some of the advantages of the mini. 1. 2.7k camera resolution 2. Better gimbal 3. lighter 4. more compact 5. longer flight time. 6. Batteries use standard cells 7. cheaper 8. Better range Any comments on the above appreciated. Attached is a...

The answer to this was YES. They found a scratch on the frame. And I mean just a slight bit of damage maybe a fraction of a mm deep and decided to charge me to replace the entire frame and gimbal at US$200. I raised a complaint and got them to waive some of this so got sick of back and forth...

Thanks for the advice so far. Sent the drone in for repairs and as they found a scratch on the drone as it bumped into an object only a meter off the ground at very low speed and the battery popped out. The gimbal threw a hardware error many months later for no reason. Do you think DJI will...

I don't think the eBay seller is authorised. He mentioned it was an unwanted gift. Do I stand any chance?

Hi the gymbal on my 10 month old spark has stopped moving. As I need to send it in for repair will they accept an eBay receipt? Else any other suggestions?

Ok... Then why wait?

They won't charge until the temperature drops to a safe level.

The current theory is it might have been an inside job, disgruntled employee Was Gatwick drone an inside job?

Yep S5 working nicely here with Android 6.0, (5.1" AMOLED display). Phone did have the tendency to overheat. So I defaulted it, always used Airplane mode, OTG now runs very cool. The only problem is the display could be brighter but I think that is a challenge for most phones. If you are...

Ok cool. So does that mean the AC to Spark is using wifi 802.1... or some proprietary RF? And if you are not using OTG which band does it use for the phone and how do you know which is being used?

If you use the OTG cable does it free up either the 2.4 or 5.8 wifi spectrum for the RC <-> AC communications?

Interesting discussion.. Can someone explain what happens when in FCC mode with an RC <-> OTG cable and android device? I assume: 1) WiFi is disabled for comms between RC and smartphone 2) There is some proprietary RF comms between the RC and the AC either on 2.4 or 5.8Ghz? 3) This RC <-> AC...

Gee not bad. Just need 2x more batteries and the charger which would set you back say another $300.. Is this an original DJI item or just 3rd party goggles? >3D VR Glasses Virtual Reality Headset
