Hello @royeiror with our Mavic Pro users, the latest firmware update has caused the Mavic Pro not to take off with autofocus settings. With our new DroneDeploy update, the focus calibration is done automatically. In this case, your drone will fly straight up, grab focus and lock it, then continue its way to its flight. If this is not working for you, then you can do it manually through the DJI GO app.

Please let me know if this is case. The drone should fly straight up and grab focus. Unfortunately since your Andriod phone is not supported by DroneDeploy officially, it will be difficult to test this.

Thanks

Hello Yusuf, I haven’t updated my Mavic for a long time, I’m on 1.3.700 opposed to the newest 1.4.200. precisely because it worked perfectly before.

The only thing that has changed in my setup is the DroneDeploy version.

I am not sure how your old update would run on our new DroneDeploy app version. The directions above are for users running the latest DJI version and DroneDeploy version.

Do you know which version breaks the autofocus?

@royeiror Firmware : v01.04.0200.

We recommend upgrading to our newest app and also upgrading your DJI firmware for safety precautions. You will still be able to fly your Mavic with our app. However, you would need to set the focus before each flight.

Thanks.

Hello Yusuf, I have upgraded my Aircraft and Remote firmware to 1.4.100 and tried flying a mission and the same problem persists. The app updated itself to the most recent version. Oddly, I tried flying a similar mission using Altizure and the mission wouldn’t start either. I Used Litchi to fly a couple of waypoints and it worked flawlessly, then I remembered that when I was able to fly missions with DroneDeploy my remote would show Waypoint on the screen. It didn’t show up this time.

Hello @royeiror

I would be curious if you are running into the same problem with an officially supported device such as an iOS device. Have you tried testing with other supported devices?

Thanks.

I do not own an iOS device, but installing DJI Go 4.2.4 allowed the mission to start, it took some time to be able to start the mission proper. It timed out first and said the waypoints hadn’t uploaded completely. I landed and tried again.

The mission started after a while.

A percentage indicator of waypoint upload completion would be very helpful

Hi @royeiror

Depending on your location and the potential RF interference the mission can take a bit to upload the waypoints, especially if it is a larger mission. I’m glad you were able to get the mission planned and executed in the end. Please let us know if you have any questions moving forward.

Tried again and found out that in order for the mission to start I need to have the props already started, then it runs without a problem.
