The other option is to post about your problem on MavicPilots forum. See the link at the bottom of this forum. It is a much larger forum and has a few experts who are very skilled at troubleshooting drone problems. Good luck. Chris

I’m not sure what else could be causing the problem. If you don’t have any additional accessories installed on the drone then maybe you have a hardware problem which needs service by DJI. Chris

Have you ever replaced the props? Are they original DJI blades? Are any of the blades damaged? Those are questions that come to mind. Chris

It may not make a difference, but trying the automated landing would rule out problems with manually landing. Chris

Does the same thing happen if you tap the landing icon on the screen or you use the button on the controller? Chris

Is there any evident physical damage? If not, have you tried a gimbal calibration? If you are not located in the US and have Care Refresh you could send it in for an evaluation if other troubleshooting doesn’t work. Chris

Welcome to the forum. Chris

Flying the Flip out that far might be possible in ideal conditions but because of the enclosed props, the Flip has been reported to be more affected by wind gusts so it would probably be risky and could result in the loss of your drone. Chris

Welcome to the forum! I think the Flip will behave just like any other DJI drone over water. The main concern with the Flip and the NEO which can be controlled via a cell phone in addition to a regular controller is that if you loose signal over water, the drone will just hover until it runs...

I don’t have a Flip so I am only speculating. I think it would be the same as with other drones - it’s only an issue if you have below freezing temperatures in moist air like fog or over water that hasn’t frozen yet. I have had ice form on the underside of my Mavic 3 props in this exact...

Thanks for the tip. I fly my drones year round and am very familiar with cold weather flying - have been doing it for years. I have flown all of my drones well below the rated temperatures without any problems as long as I take precautions like keeping batteries warm before flight, keeping...

I think the key here is to make sure that if you fly over water, you use a controller to reduce the chance of signal loss and have access to RTH. Chris

Sorry to hear about the car accident. Glad everyone is ok and that out of the kindness of your family she got another car. The NEO is a great low cost drone. Maybe you might be able to get a refurbished one for your grandson. All the best. Chris

Welcome to the forum! I don’t have a Flip but do have a NEO which has similar features. The Flip is quite a downgrade from a Mavic 3 Pro. Enjoy the Flip. Chris

Check to see if your video is set to save in H265 or H264 in DJI Fly settings on the drone. The H264 codec is more compatible with a wider range of video players. Welcome to the forum. Chris
