I was down on the East Sussex coast this week. Did a walk to Beachy Head and I noticed that at low tide there is a clear line of sight along the entire length of the Seven Sisters between the beach at Cuckmere Haven and the staircase at the Birling Gap NT centre. Just measured it on Google maps...

When you edit the speed is that the speed the drone travels to the way point at?

A basic rule of any equipment is you shouldn't be able to damage it by using the front panel controls.

I think this is all about security. Didn't someone say Iraq & Syria had been Geofenced recently. With the growth of terrorism I wouldn't be surprised if cities & towns were fenced soon.

Beautiful sunny day in the UK, had a 32 on and the video looked great.

I'm making my first film with my Mavic. I'm using Waypoint mode to travel a 1 mile route at height of about 20m and come to to a halt in front of me. I then want the Mavic to fly directly towards me at some speed keeping me centre of the screen and I want to hit pause so it comes to a halt about...

It's the weekend and the sunny weather has brought the crowds to my local drone flying park so I can't go flying. What I was wondering is when you are on a Waypoint mission can you press the pause button, adjust the tilt of the camera, and then resume the mission? Edited to add, Ah, just seen...

Does the Mavic use barometric pressure or GPS to calculate the altitude at waypoints? If I recorded waypoints on a Monday when the pressure was 990 then flew the course on a Thursday and the pressure was 1030 would the altitudes be the same, similar or quite different?

I live in Reigate, Surrey. I'm off to Brighton to do a spot of flying in a week or so. I'll be parking my motorhome on Madeira Drive, getting up early, taking off from the beach and flying over the sea to film the piers. I don't envisage any agro from the local council.

I definitely consider it.

I don't know if I could ever bring myself to do this

I want to avoid having a special mount. I have found this on Amazon so might give it a go.

It does fit, thank you. I will have a search around for a sun shield for an ipad mini and that should be me sorted.

Wold the ipad mini fit in the RC?

DJI Go 4 makes my Nexus 6P freeze and crash which is a bit of a bummer but I was already thinking the screen isn't really that great for viewing live video. So I was wondering what apple device would other people recommend so that I can get a good look at the live video? Also would that device...
