DJI Mavic Air 2 - How do I turn off the LEDs?

Questions & Answers
1

I was wondering if it is possible to turn the navigation LED’s Red&Green off on my Mavic Air2 ???

Also do the props spin faster while hovering in sports mode apposed to when in other modes ???

2

The props will spin at the same speed near enough

3

I am sure the led flashing is a legal requirement

4

For Android. I haven’t tried a Google search for IoS.

I have never used this so check it out for yourself. DroneHacks may offer similar.

5

Any background as to why? Just intrigued.

The props will spin at the same speed when hovering no matter what mode you are in

As Rob @macspite says Dronehacks and mod the parameters

You could try this:

“DEFAULT”: 255,
“MAX”: 255,
“MIN”: 0,
“NAME”: “forearm_led_ctrl|g_config_misc_cfg_forearm_lamp_ctrl”,
“RAW_NAME”: “forearm_led_ctrl|g_config_misc_cfg_forearm_lamp_ctrl”,
“TYPE”: “uint8_t”,
“VALUE”: “255”

Would make epic night shots :heart_eyes:

Don’t. Unless you want arresting on the spot. Trust me, I asked the Police and it was an outright “No” … and I work there.

Random info: the yellow crane performing the lift is “Big Carl”, the biggest crane in the world.

Lol I wouldn’t but it has crossed my mind in the past. A good friend of mine is head of security at B station.

Me too, several times. I ended up emailing security, then called them. Even though I hold full SC security clearance for MOD nuclear sites, they wouldn’t even consider it. Shame, because you’re right … it would make an epic night landscape.

Yeah that’s what my friend said too, the on site coppers wouldn’t hesitate to shoot it down and they don’t need permission to shoot either :joy: 🏃‍♂

They’d never see or hear you … all eyes on Big Carl. :stuck_out_tongue:

14

Imagine … if it dropped that … and you had the footage! :thinking:

The whole crane would topple too, if it did.

BBC we’re flying their drones there when Carl was first erected :rage:

HPC had their own drone at first, but that ended in tears. So they now outsource it to Vistaworx.
