Thnx will check it out 🤞

Resetting the drone? I turn everything off [R/C. drone, iphone] and turn back on again is all so far.

Am I drinking my bath water? Lately I have been flying a DJI Mini2 without any problems but on the last 2 attempts I keep getting "RC not connected". Have I done something I shouldn't have, or not done something I should have????? I can't seem to get the R/C and the drone to talk to each...

and looking forward to your shots. I am in Australia visiting Hinolulu in about 8 weeks.

iphone 12 I keep seeing references to "Phantom". Are we talking Mini 2 in that or is Phantom something different? [sorry for simple questions]

Sorry this is not relevant to the current question but it prompted me to ask. I have been wondering whether the flight log viewer is available on my mobile device if I am using a DJI Mini 2. It would be great to look back on. [I am 80 and I don't understand a lot of I.T. stuff so in laymans...

Thank you. I will never be in that league unfortunately. I realise there is no accident avoidance on the Mini 2 but my question was specific to your comment "There's an option in the Fly app to turn off sideways movement" and was wondering if the sideways movement can be toggled on/off for the...

Not up with any of this stuff [now 80 and left me behind some time back] but is this available for the Mini 2? If so where/how

Why switch to "anytime" Isn't "Emergency only" the same thing as far as the drone is concerned? Off is off isn't it? [honest question I have been trying to get an answer to for a long time.]

Basically we agree. I just didn't qualify my answer. I was only looking at outdoors as indoors I have no use for the drone. From what I understand now they are very good indoors but due to weight [taking it over the allowed max. weight], drag, battery life, and wind resistance they are not...

Yes flying over ground sloping away from you or over a valley, or off an elevated position and using 400ft height to ensure you don't bump in to something nasty immediately puts you in contravention of the regs. The controller doesn't move from showing thre initial launch height of 400 ft even...

YTour assumption is incorrect but thank you for the input. There were nonetheless some points there that assisted me.

OK so above AGL but in my hypothetical scenario "if I set 400ft height above my take off point, which is while dstanding on a 1000ft high mountain, then fly out over sea level flat fields below, do I maintain 1,400 ft [which is still only 400 ft above my tgake off point]? Does the drone realise...

Obvious I guess to most but I just need clarification. When i set a height is that AMSL or AGL. Does the drone [mini 2] take in to account rising terrain and continue rising at the preset height? What happens if it encounters steeply rising terrain? For simplicity, if I set 400ft height, and...

Perhaps an odd question but:- Currently as a newbie I am only using C mode on my Mini 2. When I get a battery low alert is there any advantage to switching to N or S modes to get a faster return response, or does the battery discharge proportionately faster? [i.e. if drone is responding 30%...
