Sorting out several different apps for my DJI birds - AirMap is great these days for LAANC but I am playing with Litchi at the moment. Nice Video by the way.
Oh, there is nothing wrong with the DJI app. In fact, that is the one that I use most. I just like presenting people with options and do my best to let my subscribers know what is available.
Thanks for the instructional video. I just got an email from the FAA talking about their Drone Zone and LAANC. I’ve downloaded this app and look forward to trying it out soon with my MavicPro.
Hy guy. I’m from Brazil, and I have a Mavic Mini and use DJI Fly. Can you answer 2 questions ? 1)- tell me about your gadget to see your fly in your control, with your cell. Whats is the name and model ? 2)- You now about if I will can use these app in my drone ? (MM Dji Fly). Thanks very much, Best Regards.
I thought the benefit of using Airmap was that it would alert u if u fly outside of ur self assigned area that you define on the map, as well as alert you if you ventured into a grid space that had a lower altitude limit, or a "0" ft designation. You didn't demonstrate any of that, if it's all possible. Seems like it should function like that.....
Great video. I saw this update in the app, but never tried it. This takes the mystery out of it; I’ll be trying this out next flight. Thanks for sharing.
If something goes wrong, DJI WILL only log a case if you were using the proper DJI app. So first make sure with them. I had problems while using the DJI pilot app for flying my Spark and DJI almost refused to log a case.
Flown twice with this app 2 days ago... I like it better than the go 4. had issues with go4 and decided to try this on my Mavic Air. I wish I could tweak more drone settings on this app. That way I'd never have to Use the DJI Go4 again.
Glad it worked for you. I only used it a couple of time...I actually prefer the DJI app though. I am curious....do you have an Android or Apple device that you use the DJI app with?
@@malonecustomdesigns it depends on the devices, I see guys having issues on both but not all android devices are the same... for every 1 iPhone there at least 30 android devices and every company adds their touch to the OS whereas Apple is the only company that handles their devices and there aren't that many. Plus there are so many power user features in android that Apple locks you out of. This simplifies everything for iOS and is the reason they seem to have fewer issues. I had to turn off the cache in the Dji settings and everything was good. You also have to make sure to get a good OTG cable. The one that comes stock on the controller for the Mavic air is USB 2.0 Android runs better on 3.0 when you plug into the bottom USB A port.
COOOLL! Does it rely on the dji go app for anything? Does the obstacle avoidance work on it? Can you choose mavic,phantom for the different features and such?
As far as I can tell, it is a standalone app, however in full honestly, I prefer to use the DJI app! It's just better for flying! The AirMap is great for making sure you are not in an area you're not supposed to be in, but I fly with the DJI app.
Isn't that a bug in the app? I don't see why you would have to notify the airport if you were flying for fun but you don't have to notify if you are flying commercially.
Do you have a video explaining all the zones colors and what they mean individually....where I live it's a blue circle..and pretty much everywhere else is a yellow/orange circle...new to drones..trying not to get jammed up
I don't think I have a particular one mentioning colors....but my other video about AirMap might be of a little help. ruclips.net/video/XmsmuqRYcGw/видео.html
I think you are alluding to different types of airspace. That is all covered in the part 107 study/exam. Having that is the best way not to get jammed up.
Not really. You choose what rules you will fly under before you fly. I can fly under hobbyist rules or Part 107 rules depending on the situation. Most of the time, I choose Part 107 rules, but I am not required to do so.
Just came across this video when searching for info on AirMap. The mount shown @1:23 looks more square and looks to extend much further than the mount your link brings me to in Amazon. Are they the same mount ?
Good app to look for a suitable location before the flight, but I will not use the app to fly because I do not know if my flights will be recorded and if these data will be passed on to any authorities.
I had some interesting experiences with this app and have been juggling between the two (djig4 and airmap) to see which I prefer and what the biggest differences are. I like the airmap preflight interface and it's very stable - zero crashes (of the software) so far. Djig4 on the other hand does occasionally crash and need a restart. Not a huge problem but it can be annoying. The djig4 interface is a little bit richer as well and has more options - I can't figure out where to turn off the obstacle avoidance tech in airmap, for example. Djig4 also tries way too hard to do too much - the video editor and the store, for instance. A lot of app overhead when they could split all that out and probably have a much leaner, more stable app. That being said, airmap's flight interface is very clean and I can absolutely appreciate the stability of the app. I'm not sure that the differences are compelling enough to use it exclusively, however. As always, ymmv.
@@malonecustomdesigns that may very well be, I've read the same thing. Ultimately it doesn't change anything - djig4 is resource intensive but feature rich and airmap runs leaner and has a clean UI. Stability issues may be os related but my overall impression of the two apps remains the same. As I said, I don't think the differences are compelling enough to use one or the other exclusively (i.e neither is significantly better than the other). I think the feature rich UI in djig4 gives it an edge, probably... But many of the pilots I know wouldn't even dream of turning off obstacle avoidance tech lol, so in those cases it's possible the slightly more efficient airmap could be advantageous. Hard to say because they're just very close, hence the ymmv. :-)
Thanks, Jay I really enjoy your videos. It did not look like the app had any intelligent flight modes like POI,follow me, or waypoint,. Is that correct?
Does the DJI Mavic "Mini" have any exceptions to rules about where you can fly because it is less than 250 grams. You are certified to fly near airports, (within five miles) but is the Mini allowed there?
Thanks for posting Jay. I am always on the lookout for helpful drone aps. IS this the same "Airmap" that is collaborating with the FAA to develop the LAANC system? Recently, I acquired my part 107. I am very familiar with sectional charts and determining airspace. Why is it, that as a part 107 pilot, you could fly within 5 miles of an airport but as a hobbyist you could not? Is that airport private?
Thanks for commenting! Yes, this is the same AirMap. And the reason that I can fly near my local airport, is because it is really small. It is considered glass G airspace.
Jay, AirMap does not work on my MJX bird, but does work on my phone, so I know right from the start if I am in a restricted area or not. That would help alot of hobbie flyers, just knowing they can have fun and not be caught in restricted air space.
(Disclaimer: I will answer to the best of my ability, but I am not affiliated with the FAA or any educational organization. I encourage you to call your local FAA office or other organization that regulates airspace for civil aviation in your country.) I do not call every helipad and such. Just the airports.
They list the river next to me as a unpaved airport and to contact ATC or airport management before we fly the only problem is the river is only about 5 to 8 foot deep and full of boulders longest stretch with smooth enough water is only 130 foot long and has boulders just barely 1" below the surface been living here for 14 years never seen a aircraft land FAA and other maps can be wrong as well only area on the river planes are is about 10 to 12 miles up stream of were its listed on sectionals suggest check the are listed out in person to verify before you fly as we did here if one is listed near by.
Yes, I tested this just to share, but I do stick with the DJI app. Oh, and yes of course....if you use this you HAVE to have terrible music to listen to! lol
Hi Jay, I have a question. Under what rule does it say you need to contact the airport? As an exercise I looked up and found three airports labeled as Corning Municipal (0O4, 4MA, KCRZ). None of them are in controlled airspace.
Answered my own question. 2012 FAA Modernization and Reform Act section 336. This was then made into an Advisory Circular AC 91-57A. And Public law 112-95
Great video but I wish you had touched a little bit more about flying for fun (part 336) and using the advisories and contact numbers since I would think the majority of watchers don’t have their 107 remote pilot’s license
question, why would you need the Airmap app when the DJI go 4 app also lets you know if you are in restricted space. Sorry I am a new Mavic Air pilot and was not sure if you answered this already. great video by the way.
Hey, thanks for asking. Actually, this part of the AirMap app isn't my favorite. I made this to show the options to people, I try to help inform of anything that might interest drone pilots. But I fly with the DJI Go4 app. However, I do use AirMap on a regular basis to take a look at areas and plan my flights ahead of time. If I am planning to go to a particular location, I use AirMap to make sure I can fly there before I go!
Of note, I have found that AirMap has been more current (perhaps more discerning) in identifying true local airports, heliports etc. v. that of what the DJI Go app will list as local airports. Might be beneficial in that regard for some.
I do have a DJI, and yes this app looks cool. For a video idea, I know I would like to see the different 3D mapping apps, and if any are free to use!? Maybe you can even do a review of a free one? Just a suggestion.
DJI makes a very good app called GSP or Ground Station Pro. Once you have taken the shots in GSP you can upload them to Drone Deploy and they will stitch it together for you and also create a 3D map for you that you can share with others. The good thing is that you can create and edit your flight before going to the location. The downside of GSP is that it has a limitation of 99 photos. When you sign up with Drone Deploy you can get a 30 day free trial and then you can sign up for their "Explorer" level plan and you can do mapping for free.
Why pay for a third party app when the DJI G0 4 also has Geo Zones telling you where your not allowed to fly? I get that Air Map has even more info, but does that over come the cost and danger of flying with third party software that isn’t governed by DJI warranty.
Thanks for commenting. First off AirMap is free so no need to buy anything. And I personally prefer using the DJI Go app. I just like letting people know about the options that are out there :)
Thanks for getting back to me with that information, if you mentioned it was free in the video, my bad for not paying close enough attention. I actually have the app on my iPhone but last time I looked at it I saw no option to fly with it. I might give it a try after seeing you video. You have a new subscriber.
Hi, just wondering if this Airmap app is an overlay on top of the GO-4 app, or is it a separate stand alone app? I'd love to find an app that works for my Mavic Pro on Android without screen locking every couple of flights.
Jay you said you would put a link to the excellent phone holder. I can not find it!! Can you repeat please. Great video but like Litchi I like to have all my flight records in one place and neither AirMAp or Litchi will allow for this so probably stick with DJI Go.
Awesome drone shots Jay!! Hasn't DJI their own Mavic assist app? I know that their gimbals have it. I have used the DJI Ronin assist app, but it isn't that convenient.
Yes, there is a DJI Assist website. Not an app per se. it’s used for such instances when you get an alert on the mavis remote saying you need to optimize your sensors (for obstacle avoidance). It’s been buggy for some while I had just had a minor hassle to get it to work.
I bought my drone Mavic pro on April 4 and I had no problem to calibrate gps and imu but had problem with calibrate sensors so I not sure if I was doing it correct or my computer screen was to small to fit the Mavic pro so I return it to Best Buy on April 6 so this summer I buying Mavic air which smaller and compact but I hope when I get Mavic air I don’t have trouble again getting it calibrate. With sensors And it will fit my computer screen P.s do I need to really calibrate the sensors. Or can just fly without the sensors My friend as a drone that doesn’t have any sensors on it Can you please make video on how to calibrate sensors and how big the my computer screen need to calibrate the Mavic air sensor if I do need to really calibrate sensors
Jay Malone ok because it said sensor error in my controll screen that why I try to calibrate sensor with computer screen But by the way I had no problem with calibrate the imu or gps
There is a website by DJI that is titled along the lines of Mavic Assist. Here, just looked it up: www.dji.com/mobile/mavic/info#downloads You need to download software from this site, connect your Mavic to your computer and run the sensor calibration. There are you tube videos that walk you through this process. You will continue to get alerts on your Mavic controller until this is done. I personally am not willing to fly with sensors I know are not optimized...just like tossing money out the window of a speeding car...
i think i would only use it if i wasn't sure of the area i am flying with respect to airports. there are other apps that would tell me that also. i use flight modes often so airmap would not be a go to app for me.
Well, I will be honest, the DJI app offers more for your flying experience. I only made this to let everyone be aware of the feature. I personally use the DJI Go 4 app.
I actually just opened it for the first time in a long time!!! They have really updated it. I don’t have the premium account so some of the features are limited...but I need to check into it more now! I didn’t like it before, but I hadn’t opened it in probably a year!! lol thanks for pointing me in that direction!
no worries, I know that there are several other apps that provide some of the same info and seem to be all free but having to have multi apps and adverts I dislike, just not sure if the yearly sub even though cheap is worth getting a all in one app over the multi app route. Only other issue is if using this app over the DJIGo app it seems to have a better log /data compilation BUT Im sure if you use a 3rd party app to fly if something went wrong in the flight even if not due to the 3rd party app, you'd provide DJI the opportunity and right to refuse honoring warranty and related items. Either way once you look it over let me know what your opinion is on this topic sir, thanks and til then fly safe and enjoy. ~Semper Fi~
Can you make a video how to set the return home setting at the Levels that you want the drone to fly back to you And video how to change Distance and Hight To Feet and miles I need to learn Metric system
When the drone rerun home does it land diagonally like a plane or does it remember to fly back at same Altitude and then when It gets to the spot were it took off does it land straight down
In your settings, you can determine the altitude that you want it to fly back. I think I have mine set for 100 feet high. That means if the drone is somewhere at 40 ft high when you press the RTH button, then the drone will ascend to 100 ft high first, then fly back to your location, then come straight down. But as you see in my video, any time that I am near anything, I land it manually. In fact, I land it manually 99.5% of the time.
Wanted to see actual app features instead of your drone video.DJI and lichti is what I use.Airmap fit information but not going to fly with it.I still have a warranty.
Yeah, this video was only showing the update of flying your drone. I went over a few of the features in my other video! ruclips.net/video/XmsmuqRYcGw/видео.html And yeah, I prefer flying with the DJI app over this one! Which DJI drone do you have?
Yes, you should be able to fly your P3 Standard with the AirMap app. But....I still prefer using the DJI app to actually fly with. But the AirMap app is great to plan flights!!
Everything is cool! But as a part 107 you should be more careful flying your drones with a battery not charged completely. You are running the risk of loosing power in mid air and that will not be cool. Don’t you think.
No, I disagree....Once my battery level drops to 20% I bring it home. It doesn't matter if I started with a full battery or not. If you are talking about a freak battery failure, that can happen at any level of power. And it is with my understanding that charging a drone battery too often puts it at a greater risk of failure. Also, Part 107 is referring to the type of rules you are flying under for that specific flight. Sometimes I fly Part 107 rules, sometimes just hobbyist. Neither one of those constitutes being more careful than another. A responsible pilot is careful no matter how they are flying! And we should all become more responsible pilots!
(Disclaimer: I will answer to the best of my ability, but I am not affiliated with the FAA or any educational organization. I encourage you to call your local FAA office or other organization that regulates airspace for civil aviation in your country.) No, a registration does not allow you to fly under Part 107 rules. If you plan to fly under Part 107 rules, then you would need to take the knowledge exam and pass it. Then you will be issued a Remote Pilot Certificate. That is required to fly under Part 107 rules.
Jay, why not answer his question? small UAS reg. Certificates are not the same as having the part 107 certificate. No, you cannot fly under part 107 in AirMap unless you specifically passed the part 107 exam. Seems straightforward.
Harpo Marx, I believe if you will read my reply you will see where I pretty much answered him with the same thing you just said. Read below my disclaimer.
Check out my other video about the AirMap app! ruclips.net/video/XmsmuqRYcGw/видео.html
Nice video by the way question is how did you get a profile picture within the app and do you really need to fly test the app for permission to fly
thanks I have a dji mini and a s20 phone . I had nothing but problems with the fly app today I'm going to try airman, so thanks for the video Dan
The air map doesnt tell you to contact your airport. Its letting you know that your near one. You'll still get authorization. Just be cautious.
Great demonstration! Thanks and I look forward to using Airmaps with my new DJI 👍
Give it a try! I still like flying with the DJI app better. But it is cool to have options!

Hello there i have mi drone 4k i want to know can i use this app for mi drone cuz i saw inside airmap it has all drone models ??

What is the red exclamation point indicate???
Can this be used with a Mavic 2pro and Crystal Sky?
It wont connect. So i use airmap and dji fly app
What does the exclamation point in the red triangle mean in the app?
How different is it from using the dji app itself ?
Only good thing about this app it can let you know if it's good to fly or not, but other than that I'll stick with dji go app..
It is pretty much how I feel. I prefer the DJI app.
question. my tablet doesn't have data connection when outside. how can I download maps so when o ever fly outside I can use maps ?
My tablet doesn't have a data connection either, but I haven't noticed any limitations. Make sure the aircraft and the app are updated before you fly.
Interesting App. Does it work with regulations also for Germany? We have a lot other regulations here. I think more strict in some parts.
I am really not sure how it works there. I personally like the DJI app better thought.
i have a holystone HS700D can you integrate this drone in your list so I could use??? the Ophlea drone app is qwerky at best
Hi Jay, I have a question. Under what rule does it say you need to contact the airport? As an exercise I looked up and found three airports labeled as Corning Municipal (0O4, 4MA, KCRZ). None of them are in controlled airspace.
Answered my own question. 2012 FAA Modernization and Reform Act section 336. This was then made into an Advisory Circular AC 91-57A. And Public law 112-95
Great video but I wish you had touched a little bit more about flying for fun (part 336) and using the advisories and contact numbers since I would think the majority of watchers don’t have their 107 remote pilot’s license
Great comment. I think that I mentioned it more when I talked about the AirMap app itself. Check it out. ruclips.net/video/XmsmuqRYcGw/видео.html
Can you use this app with Yuneec? Thanks for the video, good information
As of now, I believe it only works with DJI. Thanks for watching and commenting!
question, why would you need the Airmap app when the DJI go 4 app also lets you know if you are in restricted space. Sorry I am a new Mavic Air pilot and was not sure if you answered this already. great video by the way.
Hey, thanks for asking. Actually, this part of the AirMap app isn't my favorite. I made this to show the options to people, I try to help inform of anything that might interest drone pilots. But I fly with the DJI Go4 app.
However, I do use AirMap on a regular basis to take a look at areas and plan my flights ahead of time. If I am planning to go to a particular location, I use AirMap to make sure I can fly there before I go!
Of note, I have found that AirMap has been more current (perhaps more discerning) in identifying true local airports, heliports etc. v. that of what the DJI Go app will list as local airports. Might be beneficial in that regard for some.
@@malonecustomdesigns I do exactly that and that makes the app very helpful. ;-)
Does the app allow you to extend the flight ceiling above 400ft AGL? So you can fly a tower or to the top of a hill and over?
I'll have to check on that. I only used this app like twice then went back to the DJI app. I just like the DJI interface better. :)
I do have a DJI, and yes this app looks cool. For a video idea, I know I would like to see the different 3D mapping apps, and if any are free to use!? Maybe you can even do a review of a free one? Just a suggestion.
Hmm I will look into it! Thanks.
DJI makes a very good app called GSP or Ground Station Pro. Once you have taken the shots in GSP you can upload them to Drone Deploy and they will stitch it together for you and also create a 3D map for you that you can share with others. The good thing is that you can create and edit your flight before going to the location. The downside of GSP is that it has a limitation of 99 photos. When you sign up with Drone Deploy you can get a 30 day free trial and then you can sign up for their "Explorer" level plan and you can do mapping for free.
alguem traduz essa lingua ai kkkk not hablo tu lingua kkkk
Why pay for a third party app when the DJI G0 4 also has Geo Zones telling you where your not allowed to fly? I get that Air Map has even more info, but does that over come the cost and danger of flying with third party software that isn’t governed by DJI warranty.
Thanks for commenting. First off AirMap is free so no need to buy anything. And I personally prefer using the DJI Go app. I just like letting people know about the options that are out there :)
Thanks for getting back to me with that information, if you mentioned it was free in the video, my bad for not paying close enough attention. I actually have the app on my iPhone but last time I looked at it I saw no option to fly with it. I might give it a try after seeing you video. You have a new subscriber.
Ron Brown thanks! Hope you enjoy some of the newer content!!!
I rung the bell!
how can one share to end users while your streaming to get live video
Hi, just wondering if this Airmap app is an overlay on top of the GO-4 app, or is it a separate stand alone app?
I'd love to find an app that works for my Mavic Pro on Android without screen locking every couple of flights.
This is stand alone as far as I know. I did not have to launch the GO4 app.
Jay Malone
Thanks Jay, I might give it a go and see if it works better for me 👌
Do you have to enter your certificate number in the app or does it just assume you have it because I don’t see a way of putting it in
you do that when you register for it
Jay you said you would put a link to the excellent phone holder. I can not find it!! Can you repeat please. Great video but like Litchi I like to have all my flight records in one place and neither AirMAp or Litchi will allow for this so probably stick with DJI Go.
Here is the link to it. amzn.to/2R4H5UB
And yeah, I just use the DJI app to fly.....I like it much better. But I try to share other options! :)
It appears to me that the distance and height was past the line of sight. Does flying 107 rule exempt you from keeping drone in sight?
No, with Part 107 I have to keep it within line of sight. And this flight was easily within line of sight. :)
Dji app also has a no fly zone feature
Yes it does!
Wow thats pretty cool,wonder if it works with parrot bebop?
I'm not sure. I'm thinking only DJI as of right now.
Does this app save those importante logs that we need to send to DJI in case of problems and crashes with the drone?
I'm not positive.....I actually prefer using the DJI Go 4 app to fly with. I just like letting people know about options! :)
The loud music detracts from your content
Awesome drone shots Jay!! Hasn't DJI their own Mavic assist app? I know that their gimbals have it. I have used the DJI Ronin assist app, but it isn't that convenient.
Thanks! Do you want to see more of Riceland? And DJI has a DJI Go app, that works with a number of their drones. I'm not sure about Mavic assist.
Yes, I want to see more of Riceland :-) The shot where you flyes towards the truck on the road looks so cool.
Thanks! I’ll try to get some more shots soon!
Yes, there is a DJI Assist website. Not an app per se. it’s used for such instances when you get an alert on the mavis remote saying you need to optimize your sensors (for obstacle avoidance). It’s been buggy for some while I had just had a minor hassle to get it to work.
Will definitely try AirMap. Oh, and I like that tablet mount. I need one also, will be ordering it. Thanks Jay !
I love it!
I bought my drone Mavic pro on April 4 and I had no problem to calibrate gps and imu but had problem with calibrate sensors so I not sure if I was doing it correct or my computer screen was to small to fit the Mavic pro so I return it to Best Buy on April 6 so this summer I buying Mavic air which smaller and compact but I hope when I get Mavic air I don’t have trouble again getting it calibrate. With sensors
And it will fit my computer screen
P.s do I need to really calibrate the sensors. Or can just fly without the sensors
My friend as a drone that doesn’t have any sensors on it
Can you please make video on how to calibrate sensors and how big the my computer screen need to calibrate the Mavic air sensor if I do need to really calibrate sensors
I don’t think sensor calibration is necessary unless there is a problem with your sensors. Just make sure you do the updates.
Jay Malone ok because it said sensor error in my controll screen that why I try to calibrate sensor with computer screen
But by the way I had no problem with calibrate the imu or gps
But I One picture of my village where I live and I it’s on my phone and I’m saving it it’s a picture of all the snow on the ground and on the roof
There is a website by DJI that is titled along the lines of Mavic Assist. Here, just looked it up: www.dji.com/mobile/mavic/info#downloads
You need to download software from this site, connect your Mavic to your computer and run the sensor calibration. There are you tube videos that walk you through this process. You will continue to get alerts on your Mavic controller until this is done. I personally am not willing to fly with sensors I know are not optimized...just like tossing money out the window of a speeding car...
i think i would only use it if i wasn't sure of the area i am flying with respect to airports. there are other apps that would tell me that also. i use flight modes often so airmap would not be a go to app for me.
I agree. I like flying with the DJI app better. But I love using Airmap to plan a flight!.
What’s the difference in the go pro4 and this one? I’m always scared of a fly away
Are you asking about a GoPro 4? That is not a drone, just an older model action camera.
Im sorry, I was asking what’s the difference in this app and the DJI go app
Well, I will be honest, the DJI app offers more for your flying experience. I only made this to let everyone be aware of the feature. I personally use the DJI Go 4 app.
curious what you think of the kittyhawk app, or do you use a group of free apps instead?
I actually just opened it for the first time in a long time!!! They have really updated it. I don’t have the premium account so some of the features are limited...but I need to check into it more now! I didn’t like it before, but I hadn’t opened it in probably a year!! lol thanks for pointing me in that direction!
no worries, I know that there are several other apps that provide some of the same info and seem to be all free but having to have multi apps and adverts I dislike, just not sure if the yearly sub even though cheap is worth getting a all in one app over the multi app route. Only other issue is if using this app over the DJIGo app it seems to have a better log /data compilation BUT Im sure if you use a 3rd party app to fly if something went wrong in the flight even if not due to the 3rd party app, you'd provide DJI the opportunity and right to refuse honoring warranty and related items.
Either way once you look it over let me know what your opinion is on this topic sir, thanks and til then fly safe and enjoy.
~Semper Fi~
Can you make a video how to set the return home setting at the Levels that you want the drone to fly back to you
And video how to change Distance and Hight
To Feet and miles I need to learn Metric system
I'll see what I can do!
Copter out? No, btw yes. GPSSING !!!
Does it work for the mavic mini?
nope! dont see why its any better than oem app
This was a very useful Video, thank you. I subscribed!!!!!
Awesome! So glad you found it useful!!! I hope you enjoy my other drone-related content!
When the drone rerun home does it land diagonally like a plane or does it remember to fly back at same Altitude and then when It gets to the spot were it took off does it land straight down
In your settings, you can determine the altitude that you want it to fly back. I think I have mine set for 100 feet high. That means if the drone is somewhere at 40 ft high when you press the RTH button, then the drone will ascend to 100 ft high first, then fly back to your location, then come straight down. But as you see in my video, any time that I am near anything, I land it manually. In fact, I land it manually 99.5% of the time.
Mavic air has 21 flying time and the And it can only go up to 2.4 miles out
Can I use this app to fly my bebop
Wanted to see actual app features instead of your drone video.DJI and lichti is what I use.Airmap fit information but not going to fly with it.I still have a warranty.
Yeah, this video was only showing the update of flying your drone. I went over a few of the features in my other video! ruclips.net/video/XmsmuqRYcGw/видео.html
And yeah, I prefer flying with the DJI app over this one! Which DJI drone do you have?
I just hope
Mavic air and the same nice picture as the Mavic pro
claude christopher Scott air has nicer picture than mavic pro 1
And the air 2 blows the air 1 away!
How do you get to the part that allows you to fly in this app? I can't seem to find it
When I tapped that little "paper airplane" looking button, it opened.
I try it but not really sure its better
Yeah, I don’t know that’s It’s any better, I just wanted to let everyone know if the option! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Will this work with a mavic mini
Do you know weather the flights will sync with AirData?
I’m not sure about that. I don’t use AirData.
So... when you tap the screen the video gets larger and the music volume increases? 🙃😆💩
Exactly! It’s an amazing effect! 😊
can u use any dji drone with airmap I got phantom 3 standard
Yes, you should be able to fly your P3 Standard with the AirMap app. But....I still prefer using the DJI app to actually fly with. But the AirMap app is great to plan flights!!
Everything is cool! But as a part 107 you should be more careful flying your drones with a battery not charged completely. You are running the risk of loosing power in mid air and that will not be cool. Don’t you think.
No, I disagree....Once my battery level drops to 20% I bring it home. It doesn't matter if I started with a full battery or not. If you are talking about a freak battery failure, that can happen at any level of power. And it is with my understanding that charging a drone battery too often puts it at a greater risk of failure.
Also, Part 107 is referring to the type of rules you are flying under for that specific flight. Sometimes I fly Part 107 rules, sometimes just hobbyist. Neither one of those constitutes being more careful than another. A responsible pilot is careful no matter how they are flying! And we should all become more responsible pilots!
I have a Small UAS Certificate of Registration, so Could I also click on Part 107 part of AIRMAP to fly like you did?
(Disclaimer: I will answer to the best of my ability, but I am not affiliated with the FAA or any educational organization. I encourage you to call your local FAA office or other organization that regulates airspace for civil aviation in your country.)
No, a registration does not allow you to fly under Part 107 rules. If you plan to fly under Part 107 rules, then you would need to take the knowledge exam and pass it. Then you will be issued a Remote Pilot Certificate. That is required to fly under Part 107 rules.
Jay, why not answer his question? small UAS reg. Certificates are not the same as having the part 107 certificate. No, you cannot fly under part 107 in AirMap unless you specifically passed the part 107 exam. Seems straightforward.
Harpo Marx, I believe if you will read my reply you will see where I pretty much answered him with the same thing you just said. Read below my disclaimer.
Jay Malone - that darn “read more” I missed on your above post. All I saw was the disclaimer and not the answer below it. My bad and my apologies.
Hopefully it doesn't come w the terrible music.
How did you record it?how?
