I've messed with these attitude settings , and the return at current altitude setting, and now I just forget all that stuff and set it to where I know absolutely there will never be a problem , no matter where I fly. So therefore it returns home at 300 feet, no matter what I'm doing, as that's...

Medicine - sure, ask all the questions you want, but remember you can do some research yourself and sometimes get better answers. I always check YouTube and type in exactly what I want and usually there's a 2 to 3 minute how to on there from somebody that's going through the same thing you...

Exactly, minte usually makes 2 corrections in the last 15 or 20 feet of altitude.

You are taking in a lot of information recently, and It can overload your senses. Don't overthink this. If you get to where you're going and fire up everything, and if the app and it says "good to fly", chk the rth altitude and go have a good time. Btw, I'm 67, The first three weeks of...

What I got my Mavic back in December , I had to fly primarily in and around a lot of buildings, and then learned about "rebar" - Iron rods that hold concrete together as in the floors, parking garage is etc. My parking garage that I flew off of, I got many erratic flights ....even though the...

Then Talk to DJI, mine lands within 2-3 inches of the X.

It sounds as if the possible downward "picture" that the drone is taking is too nondescript, nothing sticks out. I suggest taking a piece of red , yellow or a contrasting color to the take off surface and putting a big black X on it if you don't want to buy a landing pad. Once it has a good...

Then you should read at least the 1st page, before posting stuff that is already discussed on the same page..... #forumcommonsense

I think we all have different definitions of what the term "brick" means. I remember early on with Nokia phones that they were using the term for any time that the handset went dead, and wouldn't work. Well if the drone can't fly, to me, that's bricked, because it can't perform its intended...

Lack of compass fix/interference....gotta recalibrate or fly somewhere else, possible iron in ground .

They might cut a minute of your time, but it's not really that big of a deal. I use them all the time.

A landing pad enhances this feature... https://www.amazon.com/Rovtop-Landing-Quick-folding-Quadcopter-Launch/dp/B06Y5PDSV1/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1503716000&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=drone+landing+pad&psc=1

On the iOS device was Bluetooth turned off?

Here is a good recap read today.... On the ExtremeTechWebsite: The new update for the $500 Spark aircraft includes improvements to the flight and takeoff stability, as well as adding support for DJI’s VR goggles. The reason for all the aggressive behavior is the tweaked battery firmware in this...

After you take off, you have a few more checks to do. Take the AC up 30 feet and let it hover there for a minute or two. Check to see that it's got greater than 14 or 15 satellites, make sure the lower left position attitude arrow is pointing the right way and open the options send reaffirm your...
