    Thanks TJ for putting this up!!

    Went to do some shots from Streatham common. Not great at low light and some soft bits, need to play with settings.

    Mavic Flyaway

    :oops: Oh believe me, my insides fell out when that little runt decided to bugger off during its maiden voyage. I could not look my GF in the eye and luckily the farmer was happy to not do any shooting till we had found it despite the fact we might unsettle the birds. If I can get a controller...

    Mavic Flyaway

    Update on my case. When I first lost it, I uploaded my logs to DJI who accepted responsibility was with the drone. Well they sent me a new one. I now have 2 drone bodies, tested the original flyaway which seems to be working perfect but my dji refresh is now on the new one but have a spare Mavic :)

    Taking the Mavic on holiday flight

    OH CRUMBS!! Guess I was lucky! I flew Emirates on the long haul stretch with changes at Dubai so boarded 4 different Emirates birds in total. Mavic was by my side all through. I guess with bigger drones they might use the policy....in fact a couple of people had bought drones at Dubai airport...

    Thailand, Cambodia & Malaysia with Mavic...spot the P3 pro clip!

    Other way round 1.32 is the Phantom Pro and everything else bar the opening sequence is Mavic. I had to do a bit of work in post on Mavic while the P3 shot was just all settings on auto

    Taking the Mavic on holiday flight

    Just came back from taking mine to Cambodia, Malaysia and Thailand. Carried it in the DJI bag as carry on, made sure my batteries were discharged to just one blinking light and it was fine. Did 9 flights through about 5 or 6 airports with no issue. Not once was I challenged but be careful in...

    Thailand, Cambodia & Malaysia with Mavic...spot the P3 pro clip!

    So just completed a trip to South East Asia for a wedding / holiday. Drone noob and did not have my replacement Mavic back from dji so was using my cousins. Please feedback on the editing, colour balance etc as tried different things for different shots. Drone not perfectly level on a few but...

    Mavic Flyaway

    Lets just say I have not felt this traumatised in my life. We initially thought it was heading away based on HealthyDrones as they showed distance to Home getting larger. I was trying to track where the battery would likely die but that led us to a major motorway with a thick 5 miles of forest...

    Mavic Flyaway

    Update, my little drone is safe back home. As it seemed, it picked a random spot and made it as its home location. Went there and set itself down. Had to track down the farmer and his games keeper who was out shooting birds (gulp). Then we tracked through mud to my Mavic. It was cold and wet...

    Mavic Flyaway

    Yes it was as had done the up and down rookie thing a couple of times. If you look at the Phantom log viewer, the drone decided to update its home point and set off there. I have narrowed where it has gone and will head there now to see. Luckily it looks like a farmers field so it might have...
