Don't you think it's about time to inform the community that you have significantly modified your RC and thus voided your warranty? No wonder that you don't send your aircraft back for all your perceived problems which (if true) certainly would be valid warranty cases. You also do not seem to ask yourself whether your own hardware modifications might play a role in all this but you prefer to continue restlessly with your crusade. I sincerely hope that by now other forum members with some brain will understand the "truth" of your stories here.

I'm hoping this post was simply due to English not being your first language and there is a language barrier, but in case it's not, and you're just trolling and making crap up as usual, allow me to clarify something for you...

ADDING signal enhancers, such as these:

Threeking Foldable Parabolic Signal Booster Range Extender Antenna Extender Compatible for DJI Mavic Pro/Mavic 2 Pro/Mavic 2 Zoom/Spark/Mavic Air Remote Controller

DOES NOT VOID YOUR WARRANTY!!! These slip onto the existing antenna, and thus they are not considered a "modification" to my remote controller, or drone as a whole.

If I were to install something like this onto my RC:

4Hawks RaptorSR

Now THIS is definitely a "modification" that would totally void my warranty, which I have not done, and never will.

And to add to that, during the "bucking" glitches I saw during the last Motor Current Error, I was NOT flying with these installed.

You can go shove your arrogant and baseless comments where the sun don't shine, and go back to galavanting around the forum with your pen pal hallmark007.

Oh, and BTW, calling my posts a "relentless crusade" is a slap in the face to EVERY OTHER POSTER here in this thread, and this forum, who is experiencing issues with their MA, and the complete lack of attention to all those issues from DJI.

Now please leave this thread, you and your "buddy" are not welcome.

This past Monday I got two weird/unexpected 1/8 yaw turns that got me to look at the forum this afternoon.  It happened early on using my first battery of the morning, used all 4 batteries that day and did not notice any other weirdness.  Will go home tonight and look for a firmware update.

Yeah I get those yaw glitches ALL the time, sometimes right after takeoff, sometimes during a flight. This is a known 0400 issue, and is WELL documented in one of the threads I linked in the first post of this thread. Logs have been shown proving the existence of this glitch.

Burmman Posted at 2018-8-29 07:10
As with everyone else who updated to the firmware v01.00.0400 I am having problems. The same IMU warning. I have stopped flying my Mavic because of this. I have been flying from the same spot going the same path and now get the IMU warning. I am starting to hate my Mavic.

Is DJI doing like APPLE does and when a new product comes out make the old ones mess up so people want to purchase a new one?

Please don’t make bold statements “as with everyone else....” you cannot include me in this! I am operating my Mavic Air with .400 FW, Go iOS 4.3.1 using an iPad 2018 WiFi only, and I’m having absolutely no problems at all.

I’m not belittling your problems, but I get fed up when people suggest that “everybody” has the same issues - WE DON’T!

Nice try to escape. You have explained to another forum member here that the Polar Pro Mount would not work with the antenna enhancer that you are using. These absolutely ridiculous plastic foldable so called "signal boosters" that do the opposite actually, would explain quite a number of your reported problems indeed. They are not only a total waste of money but significantly reduce the range and strengh of the antennas.
Just you have posted that the Polar Pro would not fit for you because of the enhancer that you are using. And these are exactly those that fix around the RC to the back and take the space.

Antenna enhancers (or extenders) are generally something like following:

Which when it comes to modifying RC is equivalent to:

Thus, nothing of any significance.  Highly doubtful DJI would want to claim either void warranty.

Really do not see how Antenna enhancers or extenders would be deemed hardware modifications.  Speaking from perspective of having repaired and made modifications to hardware.
Nor do I see how Antenna enchancers or extenders would result in problems like False flag Esc Motor error (which appears to be a Firmware Bug).


However, I am willing to listen to how you believe Antenna enhancers or extenders (as pictured) are hardware modifications AND would result in False flag Esc Motor error problem.

Nice try of you trying to continue pointing a finger at me for something I have not done, and just explained myself with in my last post VERY clearly.

Now I KNOW you're just trolling, or do not understand basic add-ons, or both!

These signal boosters DO actually work, as I've gotten not only better range in crowded signal environments, but also improved signal quality, with less lag and live video feed freezing.

Like I said, you and your LIES are not welcome here, GET OUT!

To further show why I said that statement, let me give you an illustrated version...

This is the PolarPro tablet / phone mount:



Now notice how my signal boosters look:



THIS is why I said the PolarPro mount design cannot be used with signal boosters, cause they would occupy the same space around the antennas.

Nice try, don't play this game anymore, you're really bad at it.

That thread was NOT SPECIFIC to the mounts for the CrystalSky!!! It was actually a general discussion started by someone else looking to get a mount for their tablet, and someone ELSE chimed in about mounts for CrystalSky as well!

I have.   See my previous posts.  Seems pretty obvious antenna enhancers and rear mount for SmartPhone are incompatible.

As to antenna enhancers being ''crap'', ''useless'', and ''also dangerous plastic''; I am going to dismiss those remarks as Blowing Smoke.

I agree that activetrack has always been buggy...I have never trusted it.  Actually, never used it outside of my front yard and just decided it really wasn't something I needed to use because it just didn't quite meet expectations.  Or, I'm not able take the risk of giving up flight control.

i imagine dji could fix it or at-least partially revamp it on older drones.  because 1 issue i have is like active track (on my MP) is sometimes just gives up even tho still has me highlighted or it breaks visual for half second then sees me again and got green lines or box around me but just not following..it has a lock why not continue?   could and should also smooth out some of its panicky-ness where freaks out sometimes for no reason..

update active-track on mavic air to 2.0 because 2.0 would be better than needing to follow groups of people around, i think.  i rather mavic air process 3 seconds in advanced and work on more solid lock to subject than it being able to follow around a group of people..im only going to use group active track like 1x maybe vs if has 2,0 i would use it all the time..

Really your on a thread talking about the problems with this FW and by my statement of "as with everyone else". I meant the others in this thread talking about the problem they are also having. SO congrats on your drone working with this FW. Mine and many others are not so lucky. So before complaining about my statement read the rest of the people that are having problems also. I get so fed up of people trying to look cool and belittle others because they can't read.

Chill! That was NOT my intent! In the same way as I misunderstood your statement, you have misinterpreted my reason for posting. I fully appreciate that there are problems out there, but I feel it’s important that some balance is made to the fact that ‘some’ of us are not experiencing them.  Obviously I don’t know why this is so, and I hope that, when DJI finally sort this out, everybody can get back in the air and fly safely!

Sorry I took your post an attack. It is how it sounded to me. I am however happy to say I have updated and this new FW is working as it should for my drone. I had flown without any problems and feel much better now. Hopefully the ones that were having problems have also found this to be a good FW.

As this thread has seen enough highjacking, trolling, animosity and other poor behaviour (even I am guilty of some of this), let's try and bring the civility back to it and keep it on-topic, which is to bring light to the ongoing issues with the Mavic Air.

I just wish I was one of those MA owners who can say I have no issues

I don't know why people are defending Mavic. I have half of these issues and I have not had a good experience with my drone yet.

Hi Edison, another thread for your list: https://forum.dji.com/forum.php? ... D534%26typeid%3D534

And another user deceived by last FW for MA...
Owning previously many DJI models and coming from an, almost 2 years crusade for P4P improvement, I don't foresee a satisfactory solution in the near future...
Luckily the P4P seems to be stable now, we achieved it when the model was old enough and DJI's interest and uncontrolled and incompletely tested FW frenzy shifted to newer developing models...

And another user deceived by last FW for MA...

Thank you for posting the link to your thread...

I've seen this issue, but in this particular scenario, it has more to do with the GO 4 app on Android being the culprit of the issues you've described, as iOS users are not seeing these issues, or are very sparsely in comparison to Android.

As this thread is more to do with 0400 FW-specific problems, I won't add it to the main post list, but needless to say, this doesn't make it any less important. If you go to the Google Play Store and look at the feedback of the GO 4 app on that platform sorted by Newest First:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dji.go.v4&hl=en_US&showAllReviews=true

You'll see TONS of 1-star reviews, pretty much for the reasons outlined in your thread

Fingers crossed they get the fixes in place soon. Perhaps the hold up was down to the M2 series launch but not thats old news they can hopefully fix the issues many are having.
