    I am a novice to Mavic flying

    Hi Trekki, A bit of a late response here - have you sorted your problems out yet? If not, which iPhone are you using? I assume you've downloaded the DJI Go4 App?

    UK regulations for visitors

    I can't see above if anyone has noted this but under the new regulations then you DJI Mini2 (and the original Mini) will need to be registered. This is because it has a camera. All drones regardless of weight with a camera must be registered. The rules apply to all drone flyers in the UK...

    Why am I reading about lots of people having lots of problems with Mavic drones?

    I understand, but let's also be clear. Your Toyo view camera (I used to have one of those - memories) was relatively simple technology. They certainly got it right first time but compared to what goes into the development and technology of these drones it was an elementally simple thing. I...

    Video Image Freezes on Screen in DJI Go4 App

    Thank you both. I suspect that it could be because the storage on the phone is maxed out. Time to do some spring (winter?) cleaning and get rid of the apps I'm not using. Thanks again.

    Video Image Freezes on Screen in DJI Go4 App

    Hi, I've had a problem recently where, on a couple of occasions while I am recording a video, the video images freezes on the screen of my phone and does not change. The rest of the app seems to work properly but the video image does not change as I steer the drone. I'm using the latest...

    DJI Refresh or Standalone Insurance

    It's interesting what a Google search can turn up as sometimes it's not relevant despite the search terms. The link you provided seems to have picked up on the "drone insurance" bit of the search terms but not the "UK" bit. The link posted is a US company which I think would not be willing, or...

    Mavic Pro Batteries on sale

    I also received mine yesterday. Ordered on 28/07. Mine tracked as far as UK customs - nothing after that although it was delivered by Royal Mail so I wouldn't expect tracking via them anyway. No duty or VAT charged. Battery looks genuine and decodes as expected on the serial number decoder...

    Mavic Pro Batteries on sale

    That was exactly the problem. I hadn't noticed the extra postnord.se - thanks for the heads up. The tracking link works fine now.

    Gettng Cold Feet - Is Hassling The Norm or the Exception?

    Somewhat off topic but you are legally allowed to cycle on a Bridle path in the UK although you are required to give way to other users on foot or horseback. An ebike might be a special case open to interpretation but it seems to me that it would fall under the category of "cycle" given that...

    Mavic Pro Batteries on sale

    I ordered on 26/07. Have had an email saying my order has been shipped but, to date, the tracking number provided does not work. Can assume from some of the comments above that this is quite common and that it will work eventually?

    Mavic Pro Batteries on sale

    I had the same question. Funnily enough it was also just after I pressed the button on an order. IF no one has experience here with TomTop, is there a way, once I have the battery, to check if it is a genuine one or not? Thanks.

    Another Hello from the UK

    Hi, I'm near Hitchin in Herts. Sadly, the past four or five days have not been good flying weather around here! :-(

    The Mavic is awesome

    Hi, Don't mean to be a buzz-kill as another poster has already accused me of being! I'm asking because I'm new to the drone world and want to do things right. I know the reasons why we might be about to get a clamp down is due to people flying recklessly near airport etc - something you're...

    The Mavic is awesome

    So, is it because of people like you that we're now about to get mandatory drone registration in the UK? Just asking...
