73 and counting

I regularly hand land my MP. I hover 2 feet above then initiate landing and it lands on my hand. Simple. If you try to hold it and THEN initiate landing, it will fight you.

I was thinking, reading these comments, that perhaps the MP would not respond to stick movements due to it being in a position where the sensors were telling it that there was an obstacle…. but if you tried all directions then that wouldn’t be the answer. I have no experience of flying with...

These people were animals rights activists. It was in their interest to escalate the situation for publicity purposes. Having said that, the police response was totally over the top given the number of police officers involved. Turning it into a traffic violation stop was a blatant abuse of...

And most important, calibrate your compass.

However, it still doesn't answer the question as to why it did not initiate an RTH as soon as the controller was turned off......

That makes sense and does explain the whole situation. Thanks for clearing that up!

I have read through all the posts on. This subject and it seems that everyone is forgetting that there was apparently a gap of 5 minutes between the MP "landing" and the unexpected takeoff. The RTH then would not have been triggered by loss of signal from the controller as that would happen...

I totally agree with this suggestion - if I saw an estimated wind speed of say 30kmh I would take a lot of notice. Instead I get a “High Wind Warning” most times I fly, which I ignore after checking that the MP is not struggling.

The only reason to use an ND filter (not a polarizing one) is to achieve a more cinematic shot. We are used to seeing TV and movies shot at 24 or 25 games per second with what is called 180 degree shutter speed (1/50th).To achieve that in a camera with no aperture control requires the use of an...

I get a wind warning almost every time I fly. After checking to see that the MP is behaving satisfactorily, I ignore it. As a result I don't take it very seriously. This might get me into trouble one day, I know, so I WOULD like to know at what wind strength the warning is generated and if there...

The first thing to do when your MP is fully dried out is to do calibrations of everything - compass, IMU, gimble - make sure that you are away from any possible magnetic interference when calibrating the compass including watch/phone & any other metal. I am so glad you found your MP and much...

I have my mobile number on in two places plus the IAA registration sticker.

The movement you are seeing is the gimble initializing on switch on. This is normal and it is the gimble doing a self test. after that initial movement, it should stay still. I also flew my MP indoors first day and also had an unexpected rapid movement and crashed. Thanfully I only broke 2...
