And that's all we can do mate. I sometimes fly close to people I control, but always warn them that if I shout a warning due to interference or loss of control they are to immediately turn their back on the drone and duck - no face cuts or bruises should ensue then. Little things can make a...

Thanks guys - valuable info and appreciated.

Thanks guys - you run these apps INSTEAD of the DJi one? They have all the core functions (like set RTH height etc) and will keep my stick speed/reaction settings and camera tilt speed settings? Thanks

I need to shoot a forest area and then do it again after works and then again when it is in bloom. What's the best way to do that so as i can mix between the images on a slow fly past and show the time lapse differences over 9 months? I need to be able to name and save the flight path. Will it...

In UK this would be permissible - you can fly over people you control. My concern would be the child release forms being explicit that a drone would be flying over their kids and thus making that parental consent an informed one based on the risk.

I bought this too. Its a punchy screen and works well BUT IT DOES NOT SUPPORT FIND MY DRONE. I lost the drone to a twig and was walking in circles for 2 hours trying to find it halfway up a mountain. I eventually switched to my S10 phone and the Find my Drone function worked and I could locate...

Wonder what the best speed and mode is for a max battery range return? Where is its efficiency sweet spot?

Just an aside and as I continue to learn - the RTH height is defined at >your menu figure< above take off point? That is, there is no chance of the aircraft being confused as the ground level is clearly much further under it once it leaves the hill is there?

Useful for us all to see - thanks for sharing. I did the UK CAA course but I dont think wind against you coming back was ever mentioned - but I know LOADS of jargon acronyms that are irrelevant to drone flying! I learnt loads from that and how you waste battery fighting the drone when it gives...

Useful info - many thanks. Sounds like one front and one on the diagonally opposite arm at rear would be best. Also if they are as reliable as you state in your experience - they could bump the warranty up - it does imply a lack of confidence in the product.

Im keen on a bottom mounting too - but doesn't seem to be being mentioned a lot?

Guys, is mounting one underneath workable? Have they got a wide scattered beam, so as long as you are a good few metres above head height you will see them - and even better when at max altitude? I also worry about the warranty - 90 days seems very short indeed for anything these days - any...

Guys, as an aside, what is the difference between FLY APP 1.2.2 and the DJI GO 4 (Android) I use? Thx

So had my first crash - reversed into a tree on the other side of a valley whilst trying to widen the shot! I had NO IDEA I was that far back - the lens is clearly pretty tight. Lesson learnt. So I tried to use the bottom right map that shows Home point, controller point and drone location...
