I have a OnePlus 6t which works well with DJI Go 4. It's also listed as a compatible device with the mavic mini as well. Most of their recommended devices are quite high-end, but I got the OnePlus because it has good specs as a general device and is waaay cheaper than the big brang names and has...

*She :D :D :D But yes, thanks for clarifying that for me. I'm unlikely to get that device since I find they don't work well with my very bad short sightedness!

Sorry to sound ignorant, but what is BT-300?

Aha, I had wondered about this! Having flown other drones, I was starting to wonder if my M2Z had a fault compass! Personally, I just find a good spot and recalibrate. It doesn't seem as sensitive to magnetic interference as people make out.

I heard that tornados were caused by *** rights. Therefore, drones are obviously ***. Edit: Seriously, you censored that word? Ok, another word for happy, means people who like the same gender.

This is all true, but conversely: -You're female? Fly wherever you like! Can you take a pic of my kids??? Apparently, women are never criminals. I also had an odd one recently where my remote controller had developed a fault and would not connect to the phone. (DJI has now fixed the RC free...

Final news on this: My remote controller has just returned and was fixed for free. Well...sort of fixed. It's actually a slightly different model of controller (the metal grill on the top has a slightly different design), so I guess they replaced it with a refurbed one. Either way, it works and...

Some more news on this! I've just heard from DJI, they have located the fault and are now fixing it for free. I should get my controller back in two to three days :D. I have to say that even though my first email enquiry was a bit...oddly handled...the process of sending it in to be repaired...

In my early days of flying I did some hilarious dumb things, but I think one that stands out is an incident I had while flying my Spark. I had taken it over to a friend who is a keen photographer to show her how it worked. It was dark outside, but I decided to take it for a quick fly anyway-...

Hi Danman, This is excellent advice, and I did try it, after some googling :). The thing is, it had worked perfectly just a few days earlier and I had not upgraded or changed any firmware on my drone, the remote control or my phone since it had last worked. So it does seem that in this case...

Right update time! I have to admit after their initial and very weird 'we need a video' request, they were fine to deal with. They have not asked me to perform any further tests and sent me a free packing label to ship it via UPS to the Netherlands for repair. @Elmo_Blimey Have you tried...

Female semi professional drone pilot here:). There aren't many of us it has to be said. I own a Spark and a Mavic 2 Zoom, and I fly a Phantom 3 Pro and a Mavic Pro at work. I think an advantage of being female in this hobby is that you get more polite and friendly interest about the drone and...

Ok, point taken. However, what I was really curious about was if other people have been asked by DJI to provide video evidence of a fault.

Oh I wouldn't expect anyone else to fight my battles. I'll let you all know how it gets on. I've reminded DJI of the UK law regarding consumer rights, and explained why I can't/won't provide video evidence. If I don't get success I'll go back to the shop I bought it from. As I said, I'm just...

Oops, sorry I was unaware of that rule. I thought it might be simpler to get a replacement controller than try to replace the entire item. I was just puzzled by being asked to provide video evidence. That's a new one on me! Anyway, I guess I will have to bench this thread it if's against forum...
