    Range Extending

    Does anyone know what the original settings are for a UK controller?

    RTH mode with no GPS

    I kinda thought that might be the case. Ideally it would use some inertial navigation sensors to backtrack, but I figured that would be a step too far.

    RTH mode with no GPS

    Thankfully this hasn’t happened to me, and hopefully never will. However, I was just wondering what would happen. So, say I takeoff with good satellite coverage, RTH firmly set in the birds memory I set off and go on a little trip. Then, boom - GPS coverage and control signal falls to nil. Will...

    Hyper lapse

    Hi. Can someone please explain to me how the hyper lapses works. I’m thinking, if I setup a hyperlapse and fly it today, go away and try the same one tonight, from a slightly different takeoff position - will I get the same video both times. Ie. does the drone store the GOS position of each...

    Stuck gimbal straight from the box

    I had checked that, the Amazon warehouse ones were around £100 cheaper but no way I was risking those. It was a proper boot to the nuts having the cheeky twats send out a pre-registered one anyways. It was an Amazon prime unit and sent direct from Amazon warehouse so all the signs should have...

    MA2 Real range in Europe CE mode.

    How did you achieve this? Yes open area, but was it perfectly flat, what altitude etc. I only got around 2km in a pretty unpopulated area.

    Stuck gimbal straight from the box

    I powered it up and started the motors. It registered as a single 1min flight of 0ft. Let everything sync and Airdata showed some limited data.

    Stuck gimbal straight from the box

    That’s what I think and have returned it. Hopefully this next one will be new or I give up til after lockdown, circa 2030 lol

    Stuck gimbal straight from the box

    If was definitely a returned item. The box had been opened and although nothing had been removed (that I could tell), the serial number would not let me buy dji refresh as the drone had been activated previously. When I switched it on and downloaded the ‘flight’ details Airdata reported the...

    Stuck gimbal straight from the box

    I tried out a brand new MA2 today and kept getting a gimbal stuck error. The gimbal can be seen to move in response to turning the drone so it doesn’t seem to be stuck. Adjusting the dial on the controller has no effect whatsoever tho. This particular aircraft was purchased from Amazon as...

    Mini CE version, more than a range test...

    What’s the best way to maximize the distance? Is it to select a channel before takeoff or let the drone select its own?

    Fly app resetting

    Fly app resetting

    I just had the weirdest problem with my mini 1. I was flying it straight out, watching the lil fella go then all of a sudden my control signal went from 100% to gone. Although that sounds weird enough I have had it before so kinda expecting that a bit. What surprised me was just after I lost...

    Mavic Air 2 Range

    Only 7500ft from an FCC model? My CE mini will give me 4000 without any ya go, add the parayagis and tbh I gave up before I lost signal. I know it’s got a lot more than just additional range but I’d hoped for a significant improvement with that.

    Mavic Air 2 Range

    Hi folks. What kind of range are folks getting with a MA2. Is there any accessories that’s highly recommended?
