Had a Military Helicopter fly under my Mavic, frightening stuff at the time.. Altitude regs and other aircraft. (UK )

So, I logged the "near miss" with Airprox UK and they have now filed a report on the incident. Seems I got my Helicopter type wrong, it was a Puma not a Merlin and it also seems the Pilot wasn't aware at all. Link for the reports is below and my specific incident is AIRPROX BOARD Reference...

Was weird, as it was scary and a bit of panic did set in, but at the same time an awesome sight to see the Merlin so low and fast directly overhead. What did occur to me was seeing the size of the Helicopter in this case and how small the Mavic is, makes you wonder if there was a collision is...

I have emailed the Flying Clubs chairman, who is going to inform the BMFA.

It was near Flitwick In Bedfordshire.

Wasnt recording :( and my cache was full.. Gutted.

It was one of those stories that if someone had told me, I would have thought "yeh right".

So.. Someone was flying their Mavic at 350ft and in line of site, when all of a sudden you hear a loud Helicopter sound, asks the spotter where is it and start to descend immediately, spotter calls out he can see the Helicopter just come over the treeline and it is heading straight for us and...

Taking it steady and trying to stop flying it LOS style. Got a little bit of footage from last night, just outside the village when taking the dog for a walk. All base settings, nothing altered yet, apart from may have reduced exp on rudder for this flight, cant recall tbh. Amazing bit of...

Hey Brucey. Had my Mavic a few weeks :) Jimbob got his today, so just trying to coax him out with it ;) Hope all is well over there...

Just need to get your *** into gear now and go fly it ;)

Had a similar issue with Maplins, wont refund or change the controller as it has been "used", less that a week old. Slight flaw with their stance is... how do you know you have an issue without using it ? It is only an minor issue anyway,, so will just live with it.

I am thinking if it is worth getting it replaced ? Would DJI just want the controller sent to them ? I could ask the retailer to swap it, but I purchased the flymore bundle and having to send the whole lot back would be a pain. Thankyou, it does look like mine is not centred correctly.

It is quite hard to show on the photo. But hopefully you can see that the top left MPH is a obscured by the controller "bezel", whereas on the right handside the RPM figure is very clear. It is like the LED display board is not centralised.

Just got the Mavic and think it is great :) However, question about the controller. Mine seems to have the LED panel underneath the window a little offset to the left. So looking from directly above, the mph/kph reading a slightly obscured. If you move your line of sight to the right, then...
