You may be right. I contacted DJI support, and they suggested I calibrate the IMU through the goggles, and calibrate the sensors using DJI Assistant 2, which I haven't used before. The weather here has been really weird, and there could have been a very steep temperature gradient between the...

I connected everything up, and did a bunch of updates without a hitch. But when I went to fly afterwards, I got an alternating error message in the goggles: "IMU Initialization Error" "Sensor System Error" I didn't see anything in the manual about corrective actions around this. Suggestions?

The glaciers have started to recede here, and I'm starting to reboot my FPV flying. I hit a couple of snags. On the first flight after hibernation, I was in Normal Mode, and all seemed well initially. But toward the end of the flight, the altitude sensor seemed to go whacko. I was several...

It was pretty windy when my Mini-2 got eaten by the tree, but it was my own fault. I was trying to see how close I could get to the tree (100 ft pine tree). I didn't have any problem controlling the Mini-2, and it dealt with the wind fine, but when there was a wind gust strong enough to *move...

I don't have to ask how you know...because I *already* know! I've never gotten my DJI FPV stuck in a tree, but I did get a Mini-2 stuck in a tree once. I had to hire a tree guy to climb up and get it! I'm an Android guy, and when I got the DJI FPV, the simulator pretty seriously didn't work...

Thinking about it, if someone hasn't flown FPV before, I'd probably start them off by flying a Mini-2 *entirely* by reference to the screen, with me serving as the visual observer. Flying only by reference to the screen does take practice, just like instrument flying in airplanes does. It's...

A nice steak dinner and a couple of beers at the end of the day would probably do it... ;-) TCS

I live in Carson City, Nevada, and I'd be happy to teach DJI FPV flying to anyone who's interested, including Manual Mode. BYOFPV! I've never gotten deeply into the photography aspect of drone flying, so I can't really help with that. Just to get it out of the box, find a big open space where...

I don't have the Avata yet, but the Goggles V2 that came with the FPV have never been a problem for me. They fit fine, and I don't even notice the weight. Maybe that comes from wearing a motorcycle helmet for 20 years... ;-) They seal fine too. The only light leakage I've ever noticed is some...

You can download the manuals for all DJI drones at the DJI Website. I downloaded and read the manuals for both the Mini-3 and the Avata, even though I don't have either of them...yet! :cool:

Have any of you put a strobe on your DJI FPV? If so, where did you put it? Thx

You should contact DJI Support. My FPV doesn't do that. It is more pessimistic than I am about how far it can be out and still get home, but I've never seen the RTH trigger with 50% battery left.

That's the way it works with the FPV as well.

I follow both of those procedures when I fly my FPV. Always sitting down, few head movements after take-off. I have noticed that I tend to position my head either looking down, or in the position it would be in if I was sitting on the drone, looking at what the drone is looking at.

I may put it off for a bit. I've been a smoke-eater for the last few days, and probably will be for at least a week. And I'm not a firefighter, God bless 'em. I'm directly in the smoke path of the Mosquito fire in California, and I'm living in a bowl of the...stuff... No drone flying for me...
