I also would not fly the Mavic without the app. Just too much to go wrong.

We struggled with the Menu System is that what you mean, Pull down from the Top of the Screen for the Main Menu and remember to use the Button to go back , something that helped us not get stuck in the menu. I know i need to be loged on to the internet in wifi , thats just a general statement , so what app do i use what buttons do i push, the things i need to know to work through the process.

It is small enough to fit in a pocket or bag, making it incredibly portable. This means that users can easily bring it along on their travels, ensuring they have a reliable internet connection wherever they may be. Setting up the Mavic Box Wi-Fi is quick and straightforward.

WiFi or RC Selection

Leave the selector switch in the RC position. The WiFi position is only for connecting directly to your cellphone or tablet via WiFi to use as a controller.

Yep, you'll have way more range if you just leave it in RC. I was confused by at first, because I thought WIFI was for connecting a phone or tablet.

If you want to take photos and/or video, you should be in WIFI mode. If your interest is purely flying, the RC mode is best. I guess you can still take photos and/or video but you will be unable to see exactly what you are taking photos/video of. I prefer to fly in WIFI mode even though my range is less. Some of the photos/video are simply great.

If you are in RC mode and use the djigo4 app you can see everything. I can’t imagine flying in WiFi with a Mavic. Occusync is much stronger and range is amazing with the OTG cable connection to a phone or USB to a tablet.

I also would not fly the Mavic without the app. Just too much to go wrong.

If you are flying in WiFi with the app not RC you are still only getting a cached image not the full video resolution or jpg for stills

Occusync also is much better for your video signal also while flying.

Paul, thank you for the information. I have always used WIFI, fortunately without issue. I am going to give Occusync a serious look. Currently using IOS 9.7 tablet. Tried my Android phone yesterday and all was fine but I don't totally trust Android given previous feedback from users that had problems using it. I am taking photos in raw with video at 4k/24. Perhaps Occusync will provide even better results. I will let you know. Thanks again for the iinformation!

Actually, the Video/stills won't have benefit from the Occusync, as all of that is being captured on your micro SD card on the Mavic. Where you will benefit, is range, and better video transmission and much more reliable connection between you and the drone. As you get further out, you will start to see breakup of the video transmission especially if you happen to drop out of LOS. Occusync really is an excellent platform.

If you are using an iPad, (I use an iPad pro latest version 10.5 or 9.75, can't remember the Apple spec. It will work best if you use the Standard USB port on the bottom of your controller. Use a USB to lightening cable. The djigo4 app is very stable on the apple platform, but I believe it's also stable on the Android side. The S8 and S9 phones have amazing outdoor displays, at least 1000 nits. The iPhone X is 500, pretty worthless IMO. The iPad Pro is brighter IMO than iPhone x outdoors.

If you go with a tablet, you may want to look at one of the many tablet holders that will plug into the controllers folding arms. The the iPad mini will fit in the controller, but larger iPad, need an extra holder. Here is a link to just one example out on Amazon:

I am currently using the 9.7 IOS with a holder. I control only with the DJI remote, although, of course, adjust settings via djigo4 and the IOS. I also connect with a lightening cable using the USB port. To clarify , Ocusync is built into the Mavic Pro Platinum and is accessed when in RC mode.

Reviews for "Why the Mavic Box WiFi is a Game-Changer for Drone Filmmakers"

1. John - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the Mavic box wifi. The connection was constantly dropping, and even when it was connected, the speed was extremely slow. I tried troubleshooting it multiple times, but nothing seemed to work. I ended up returning it and getting a different wifi box that works much better.

2. Sarah - 1 star - The Mavic box wifi was a complete waste of money. It didn't have a strong signal at all, and I had to position it in a specific spot in my house just to get a somewhat stable connection. The speed was also slower than advertised, even on the highest speed setting. I regret purchasing this product and would not recommend it to anyone.

3. Mike - 2 stars - The Mavic box wifi had a lot of potential, but it fell short on delivering a reliable connection. I experienced frequent disconnections and had to reset it multiple times a day. It was frustrating to use, especially when I needed a stable connection for work. I eventually gave up and switched to a different wifi box that works without any issues.

4. Emily - 1 star - I had high hopes for the Mavic box wifi, but it turned out to be a major disappointment. The signal strength was weak, even when I was in close proximity to the box. The speed was inconsistent, and I often had to wait for pages to load. I would not recommend this product to anyone who needs a reliable and fast wifi connection.
