Dear DJI.  Please watch this video and FIX this BUG.  Thank You.

All these various issues coming out making me a bit pleased that the seller cancelled my order. At least for now.

Is it a bug or is it a hardware problem,

Is it a bug or is it a hardware problem,

Almost certainly a software bug.  It just looks like the analog stick position is being ignored while the program is off stuck in some other loop. I am almost certain it's NOT a hardware issue.

After owning several Phantom drones...  This is pretty typical stuff.  DJI always has some glitches with early launch software.  They will fix it if enough owners post detailed videos showing the issues.  Eventually they get it right.

I guess you don't think the three other threads with this video are enough huh?

Looks like maybe just a visual bug in the software since it shows 0% despite being far outside the deadzone at center.

Nope.  Not for a serious issue like this one.

This same video was posted in another thread.

I do not think this is a cause for concern, and here's why...

Notice that the eight ball gets stuck, BUT the numbers (the actual reading of the stick position) goes back to zero. I think you are looking at nothing more than a display bug in the DJI GO app, on the diagnostic screen. I do not think what you are seeing is related to any of the recent crashes.

I'm not so certain that's a huge deal.  Looks like the image is freezing but it's still centering.  My PC does that when I calibrate my Xbox 360 controller.  

We have documented two of the above issues, that is all.  We are working wih the users for a resolution.  It is not global issue.

Great.  Glad to hear it.

I am sure you guys will get to the bottom of it and find a solution soon.

Thank you.

It's not a global issue because the Mavic hasn't been delivered globally.

I think he means it's not affecting all customers?  Only isolated cases?

So, should we ground our Mavic's until we better understand this? This would explain the spinning without remote inputs

Honestly...  After owning a P2 and a P3... If I saw a bug like this being reported... I would not fly until the next firmware update and look for other owners confirming it's safe to fly again.  But that's just me.  Others will disagree.

It looks like a graphical issue with the dot and not the actual reading. All the readings still show 0% when the stick is in the middle.

With about the 50 drones that DJI has shipped worldwide 2 users is a considerable 4%.

I would agree except for the couple of owners reporting crashes where the drone started spinning out of control and crashing.  It may be related.  It may not.  But I do think it's probable that there are still a few bugs to be worked out.  And all the feedback we can throw at them (With detailed videos.) will help.

Yes I am going to ground my Mavic until we get a fix... Just too many goofy things popping up on the first Mavic's out in the wild.

Yep I agree with that. Anything to make sure this thing doesn't crap its pants ( when I get a replacement )

Maybe do the stick calibration slowly and let the screen register the movements.
Its a stick calibration, so it only needs to know where the max and centre positions.

If I had a Mavic, I doubt I would let much of anything stop me from flying... as long as I knew I could run to the store and buy another off the shelf. So, BE CAREFUL! You won't get another one anytime soon.

I did a recalibration of my controller this evening. About to grab the controller and check if it was reading zero when the dot was not center. I do believe several times it showed a percentage. I'll film it and post it to YouTube if it shows an issue.

I am one of the first few to say I had this issue.

The way he let go, it almost seems as if the control is actually seeing the stick in that position, could it be some of that Mavic powder in there?  If anyone has it, best way to see if yours does the same is do the same calibration.

Just filmed a calibration and moving the sticks. The dot would get stuck in various positions but showed no values. If weather is good tomorrow evening I'll do another flight at the local soccer fields. I've only flown it once to test after the initial issue. Flew for 5 min roughly perfectly fine.

That does not explain the behavior in the video.  The stick simply stops responding to input at times.

Post detailed video.  This helps the engineers.

Also be sure to note your firmware/software versions.

That would be my question.

Good to hear you had a safe flight.

You guys may be better served discussing this in the original thread so that info isn't spread all over the place.

Right.  We would not want anyone to read about a perfect, safe flight. Right?  ;-)

that's like 50% of Mavics that have shipped out.

That was not my intent. I just figured having the discussion about the problem may be better all in one place, so info isn't spread all over the place.

We are talking about how erratic stick readings might be related to crashes.  It's HIGHLY relevant to the subject of this thread and all crash threads at this point.  It's about making users aware of issues. Not hiding them buried inside one single thread.

I have confirmed that mine behaves the same way... I was not contacted by DJI. What do you mean working with the users?

I'm confused. So you're just a random guy in the internet blowing up the issues the Mavic is having or what?

No.  Not really.  I am an experienced DJI owner.  I own P2 and P3.  I have my Mavic on order and I am waiting for it patently.  Meanwhile I am just pointing out some issues that DJI owners and engineers need to pay attention to.  Hopefully get a firmware update out before too many customers experience a crash.

It's all about making the Mavic better...

That's all.

I do think it's important that guys who have some experience, get involved, however once it has been taken on board by tech guys here and they report it to appropriate engineers, it will be those guys who will decide if firmwear is needed to rectify problem,
Opinions, photos and videos are all helpful to engineers , so yes the post is important, it does not need to be highlighted on every thread, one thread to discuss if sufficient, otherwise it becomes confusing to newer members. And almost comes across as panicking newer flyers, so I would ask Fulgerite to use one thread for these specific issues.
