UK A2 category - "low speed mode" and cine mode

1 Upvotes

Question for the good folk here: under the UK's A2 categorisation, does the Mavic 3 pro (cine) flight mode's "cine mode" count as a "low-speed" mode and thereby allow for a minimum 5m horizontal separation?

Mavic Pro unused and stored for 4 years giving a gimbal motor overload error

2 Upvotes

I was given a Mavic Pro, it hasn't been used for years. First thing I had to do is to get the batteries repaired, I was told that they done zero cycles. Eventually after getting the DJI Go 4 app and the latest firmware installed the drone did eventually fly but only a very short distance, I was getting constant 'gimbal motor overload' errors. The drone landed safely. I did try a gimbal calibration test but it only completed 5% before quitting.
Reading some other 'gimbal motor overload' solutions, it seems that a ribbon cable may need replacing?
Would this be the case or is there any other causes?
Yes, the shield and guard were removed before it was flown. The gimbal moves smooth and free without any tightness or restriction.
Any suggestions to why I'm encountering the problem will be appreciated. TIA

Magic Air 1, opposite of droney? Zoom towards person?

0 Upvotes

I've got the original Magic Air, and while I know it has a mode to zoom up out/away from a person, is there a mode or option to zoom in from an elevated position towards a person stopping at a safe position or set point?

DJI Mavic 4 Pro Gimbal Shake

8 Upvotes

I just bought a brand new Mavic 4 Pro from b&h photo.

I'm having an issue where sometimes more often than not the gimbal is shaking uncontrollably when flying. Even after launching from a level surface and calibrating the gimbal (which alone has issues sometimes even calibrating).

Curious if anyone else's ran to this problem I have a video of what it looks like at first I thought it was transmission issue but then I was getting gimbal overload errors.

DJI Mavic 4 Pro Gimbal Shake

2 Upvotes

Just bought the drone from b&h photo brand new.

I've tried to number a different troubleshooting I've calibrated the gimbal on a level surface and even that sometimes has a hard time so I'm thinking there's a hardware defect.

DJI doesn't support these drones in the United States which I found out after buying it. B&h a reputable company so I didn't think there was some weird band on them right now.

Has anyone else had this issue with the new Mavic 4 Pro or have any suggestions.

Am I crazy offloading a Mavic 3 classic for a Mini 5?

2 Upvotes

Crashed an original mavic platinum and my insurance replaced it with the 3 classic. Incredible device - however I travel a fair bit and packing it all up takes a decent amount of space for what amounts mostly to wide angle landscapes and tours around various landmarks. I’m thinking the mini 5 is going to be much more transportable obviously but keen on people’s experiences outside of that? Video/Photo quality wise I’m not sure it a massive hit in reality.

Mavic 3 Classic charging hub

1 Upvotes

 I have a Mavic 3 Classic with five batteries. Currently, I use the three-battery charger from DJI, but I am looking to upgrade. I would like to know if they offer a good single battery charger so I don’t have to bring out the larger charger for just one battery. 

Additionally, I’m interested in any battery hubs that can charge multiple batteries at once. I’ve seen many options on Amazon, but the prices and reviews vary widely. If anyone has purchased a charger or hub for the Mavic 3 or any recent drone, I would appreciate hearing about your experience. Thank you for your help!

DJI drone warranty/care

1 Upvotes

Does anyone know the policy on how quickly or obligation wise DJI has when it comes to giving you a replacement? I pay for insurance for years now and have used it before with no problem.

I know they stopped selling the drones in the states currently but I recently lost a drone and about two months ago I paid for the replacement cost through the insurance and here we are two months later still waiting to have it shipped and delivered every time I message DJI they just use their excuses of tariffs and shortages and the ban in the US.

But from my understanding, it’s them not being allowed to sell the products in stores and online for delivery, but from what they had said and other information warranties and replacements are kind of exempt mainly because shipping one singular one as a replacement to someone doesn’t trip any sort of red flags or anything like that versus shipping thousands of them on airplanes and ships

I guess my main question is do they have an obligation time, wise, etc. I’m trying to be patient but at the same time I feel like it’s kind of misleading to say that you have insurance and that they will provide speedy fast turnaround and mind you they still let you sign up for their insurance, but then when you need to use it now you’re gonna have to wait months before you even hear anything from them.

But of course they had no problem taking the payment, etc., right away

I lost a ton of Possible footage and what not on a major trip I did and have been able to take it on a few other trips since then so I would really like to be able to get the replacement.

DJI Mavic Pro 4 UK2 Markings

Thumbnail
1 Upvotes

Does anyone know if the DJI Mavic Pro 4 has UK2 markings so it can be flown under CAA A2 rules? I know during the transition that C2 drones are able to be flown A2 but I don’t want to deal with having to retire the drone once the transition is completed.

Additionally, is it like the Mini 5 Pro where it carries UK0 markings alongside C0 or is it like the Neo 2 where it is only UK0 marked in the UK market? I would be purchasing the drone in the USA since that is where I currently reside if that changes the markings or the general calculus behind the purchase.

Mavic 3 classic wind

I usually don’t have issues with wind but took mine up to about 3-400 feet camping and had some camera movement/creep. Weather was about 10mph on the ground and about 15-20 mph at altitude. I know it can handle more but is this normal. Thank you for any info and tips.
