    Flying whilst on a Narrow boat

    Many thanks and drat - looks like I am either going to have to fly it in manually or jump off, set Home point, collect Mavic and catch boat up!! 8 days without dunking it in the water or up in the trees, and I should be prepared for anywhere! Should flying it under or over a bridge, such that...

    Flying whilst on a Narrow boat

    Shortly off for a weeks canal holiday up and down the Llangollen canal - really looking forward to Maviking some of the vistas - but just had an awful thought, that the hull is one large and very long iron bucket - is this going to seriously mess up the compass, calibration, even actual signal...

    Flight files on an Apple Mini

    Thanks for both those - I think on the Note4 I was looking at the files via a movie app, I wasn't using the Editor in the GoApp - just never saw it! And of course it is in exactly the same place on the Apple version - just wanted it for quick review and if showing folks whilst tablet in hand...

    Flight files on an Apple Mini

    Apologies for my ignorance of all things Apple - I had hoped to keep it that way! - but felt obliged to get an Apple 4 mini to accompany my bird (though my Samsung Note 4 had performed ok if a little sluggish) - however, whilst I could easily find my post flight vids on my Samsung, I haven't a...

    My controller dead battery within 25 minutes. What happened?

    The phone will charge no matter which connection is used? Side or usb? And there is no way to turn that off to preserve controller battery?

    How to Exceed Max Altitude for Mountain Flying?

    Aim for a climber. Attach a note. They stop and restart drone. Up you go a bit further. Sorted.

    Who here had an undamaged Mavic battery catch fire in storage?

    I had wildebeest look v suspiciously at my vehicle. I am sure they were sizing it up as to how many could fit in it. Does that count?

    Poll: DJI App Crashing?

    Started using only fortnight or so ago - so maybe I missed out on early teething problems. Initially used my Samsung Note 4 - Only used on 8 batteries before changing to an Ipad Mini4 - partly because of lag on Note 4, partly because of scare stories on here (and believe u me it broke my heart...

    Adequate reward for return Drone?

    If I had lost it - it was no longer in my possession - and someone contacted me with a view to returning it - 10% or £100 would feel appropriate. If they asked for a higher figure before returning it (kidnapping!), then I guess if you think of the alternative cost of a new Mavic only, plus...

    Hi from sunny Cheshire

    TStarr here - patrolling the M6 - M56 corridor, whilst dodging the Manchester and Liverpool airports, and praying the Mersey and Manchester Ship canal don't swallow my new bird. Looking forward to picking all your brains and sharing some of your recorded highlights.

    Noobie trying to Activate

    lol ta Mr Top Hat - must say there is some reading on this site! Sad to say the Note 2 failed - telemetry all there, settings etc, but no video feed - presumably beyond the cpu power. Pity lag on Note 4 is a bit poor, but I gather from all the threads on here, that I may have to break a...

    Noobie trying to Activate

    Hi all - bit early to be making my first post, but it may help someone - just received shiny new plane - knew there was a lot of issues with new DJI GO 4 app, both it working and what phones it may work on - had a Samsung S3, Note 2 and Note 4 to try - S3 got rejected as incompatible, but...
