    Portrait landscape in app? Where is this?

    Not clear? Uuuunderstatement. I spend my entire life trying to find settings that are either hidden under a multitude of subsections, or (like the OP) not even there. I think the MP menu system is at best confusing and in many cases mystifying. Swipe right to left indeed. Yeah right, proper...

    What does "Mavic" mean...?

    And there, right there. Proof, if any were needed, of why I dislike poetry.

    Bee's and Seagulls

    There. Fixed it for you.

    What does "Mavic" mean...?

    ... and why "Pro"? Is the Mavic "Am" any good? I might buy one. "Pro" brings to mind condoms being available only in sizes "Large", "Extra Large" and "Ouch STOP". Spent a lengthy minute or so Googling the word mavic and drew a blank. Other than the bicycle parts manufacturer Mavic, nothing. On...

    Bee's and Seagulls

    No bees were hurt making this video. A few were sliced into many sections and one or two have a nice new haircut, but none was hurt. Top tip: If your MP is attacked by a swarm of bees, best to avoid attempting a hand catch.

    Dumb question. What's better than DJI?

    I read a lot of posts on here complaining about DJI's Customer Service and poor communication. My only other drone was a Yuneec Q500 and in my experience, their Customer Service was absolutely first class.

    Creating a Home Point

    As a matter of interest, I'm soon heading off to the Alps snowboarding. I'll be taking my MP and I was hoping this thread would be the question to which I would like an answer. It isn't, but I don't want to start a new thread. The question I have is, I'll be launching the MP from the start of...

    Jitter when yawing

    Thanks Rob, that helps hugely. And apologies for the typo in my post which autocorrected fps to GPS.

    Jitter when yawing

    Rob. You were doing OK until the second paragraph! I'm very very noob when it comes to video shutter speeds and GPS, so to read your "rule of 180" is very helpful; even I can take that in. But then you confused me. Are you saying that using the 180 rule will result in a completely white screen...

    Forward obstacle avoidance failure

    Yes thanks for posting this. I too had it, immediately after the firmware upgrade. I agree with others who experienced the glitch when flying towards the sun. I continued flying anyway, turning the MP 180 degrees and flying backwards where obstacle avoidance was engaging. A couple of battery...

    Drone nearly collides with passenger plane near The Shard

    Load of old rubbish. Firstly planes on approach to Heathrow from the East do indeed pass the Shard - about 3km south of it. They also pass Buckingham Palace. And the North Pole. Secondly, unless they're seriously out of shape, the flight corridor will have the planes passing the Shard at around...
