    Anyway, in other news, a monster or monsters have been sighted in a large loch in Scotland, unfortunately despite many many many people claiming to have seen said monster, no one has been able to get a clear picture of said monster, or any picture for that mater that resembles anything but a non...

    new UK law. 1 km from any airport !!

    Yes that will work, its expensive to get a driving licence and then there are the substantial car insurance premiums, does it stop idiots, no, they simply dont bother with either and just drive anyway. Same will happen with drones and only the drone pilots who already follow the rules will...

    new UK law. 1 km from any airport !!

    I can not see anything changing, unlike motorists, its hard to make money out of (screw) drone user's, so only lip service will be paid to enforcing these new rules

    Drone blamed for Helicopter Crash in South Carolina

    Luckly most 'real pilot's' dont get all hysterical evertime the D word is mentioned and are sensible and rationale people. They just weight it up along with the many thousands of other risks they face everytime they fly or drive or put their trousers on

    Irrefutable evidence that DJI favors Apple devices

    Which is better Family guy or American Dad? Who cares, just a pointless no right answer discussion, bit like this thread, as long as what ever you use works and your happy, what does it matter what label is on the phone or tablet you use to fly your Mavic or written on the bloody box. The funs...

    Irrefutable evidence that DJI favors Apple devices

    Mine came in a box and all the words on the box were in English, clearly irrefutable evidence that DJI made it only for people who speak English :cool:

    Drone blamed for Helicopter Crash in South Carolina

    That's what i was thinking too. Drones are like the cats/dogs of the road, only for the air "So how did you crash into that tree, were you not paying attention, on the phone etc etc" "No officer, a dog ran out in front of me and i had to swerve to avoid it and i hit the tree" "That's a...

    Manners Maketh Man

    Dont throw the baby out with the bath water would be more apt. Yes sometimes, just like in real life, you have to sort the wheat from the chaff on this forum, much like any forum full of people with their own minds and opinions. Personally i find the vast majority of people on here very helpful...

    Updated "blue" charger and my thoughts

    Why would you ever want to over pack/charge the battery ?, not only is it not good for the battery, it could also be very dangerous. Or am i missing something?

    How fast will the DJI car charger replenish Mavic battery

    In that case it probably makes sense to use the inverter, as what ever energy your wasting stepping up the voltage to your inverter, then back down again in the charger is still probably more efficient than running your engine and burning gas

    How fast will the DJI car charger replenish Mavic battery

    Yes should work fine, as long as your inverter has a high enough output to supply what your powerextra charger needs to work correctly. Ive used an inverter on various chargers without issue. Although its not the most efficient way of charging batteries
