3. "Drone Too Far Off Course" Using Waypoints But Not With Destination

I suspect that the difference, in layman's terms is that on a "path" the drone logic tries to keep the drone within a set distance (horizontal and vertical) from that path.  With a "destination", t...

3. Speed (max) setting

Another benefit of flying slower is the better quality of images.  This is especially true if your drone camera has a "rolling shutter" instead of a "global" or physical iris-type shutter, and you ...

3. Custom Map Layers

You might take a look at QGIS, an open source GIS program.  The learning curve is a little steep, but importing a GeoTIFF file is easy, and you can add additional geo-referenced layers.  Another ap...

3. Dronelink vs In-Drone Altitude Limits

Thanks, Jim, for making that clear.  I was pretty sure that was what was going on, so now I have a better handle on staying within the FAA limits, especially when doing mapping flights at roughly c...

3. Photo Numbering Rollover

Thanks, Jim. I suspected it was a DJI thing.  I was surprised that it rolled over at 999 instead of 9999.  Thankfully, it started a new folder instead of overwriting earlier ones in the original fo...

3. Garbled Audio on Smart Controller

Just a confirmation... exact same equipment as Douglas.  Brand new in October. The only other issue I've ever had was a loss-of-signal/disconnect that was likely due to range/obstruction/antenna or...

3. Mission Flight error: “Control Override Joystick”

A follow-up to my post of yesterday...  Once the maximum distance problem was corrected, the mission ran just fine.  Was able to do a mapping mission over about 9 acres, and didn't need to pause in...

3. Mission Flight error: “Control Override Joystick”

I'm glad I found this.  I had a similar issue today with my Mavic 2 Pro.  After finding this thread, I went back into my drone settings and found the maximum distance set at something like 250 mete...
