Good day does it work to make the remote for a DJI mavic pro stop charging my phone

@downswingplayer9712 5 жыл бұрын

@@johngroening4996 I think if it is an Apple phone there is an option but if it is an android phone you can not stop it. The usb port at the bottom of the controller can be connected to the phone and that will stop the charging.

Very well done-I'm an old Navy pilot and a "digital dinosaur" so even though I could land a A4 jet aboard an aircraft carrier during Viet Nam I am still working my way into the digital world and loving it. Looking forward to fly my first drone the DJI Mavic Pro and want to thank FlyPath for his informative and easy to follow KZfaq instructions. It's been a great help!

Just wanted to let you know that some of us out here pulling out our old Mavic Pros for the second time in 5 years appreciate going back and watching your videos. I also just purchased the Mini 3 pro but wanted to play with my Mavic Pro first.

This is my first drone. I’ve wanted one for years and finally bought the Mavic Pro. The included instructions were awful, the worst. I couldn’t even figure out how to charge the unit, let alone fly it and take pictures. Therefore, I went to KZfaq to learn. After watching a dozen videos, I still wasn’t getting what I needed. Finally I found FlytPath. The information was exactly what I needed. Very clear instructions with great pictures. I was finally able to get the batteries charged, firmware updated, etc. It took me half the day, but I feel so much more comfortable with my new drone. Can’t wait to get it up in the air. And, I’m looking forward to more instruction from FlytPath.

I just started the setup process and realized I had no idea where to start and the direction booklet is useless. The panic set in and your video was the first one I found. Thanks. You made it easy for me to get started. One point you missed that I picked up before starting is to remove the protective stickers on the position sensors, or the calibration might not work. I'm writing this during firmware upgrade, so I have not experienced it first hand yet, but another video warned against the protective stickers needing to be removed. Thanks again for this instruction. If I feel lost again, I will definitely look to you. Very thoughtful, clear and useful tutorial.

I live near Sea Tac airport in Seattle and it knows NOT to fly here. DJI and you are a winning combination. I will be coming back for all of your Mavic tutorials. This is not merely another drone this is an "aircraft" and as such flyers need to fly it responsibly. Again thank you...Al
