Thx for extended info. Don't have time to analyze that myself right now, but someone will preusmably ! :) Well that's a double shitburger and no chips isn't it ?! Sorry you are a drone down - do you know what the extent of the damage is yet, and do you think it will fly again ? If it did, would...

Massive EMP burst, possibly ? But hard to think what would cause that sort of thing in the typical sorts of places we tend to fly. Some questions: - What was it doing just before it fell ? - Was it powered on when you recovered it ? - Any messages on the screen before, during or after the...

As stadia go, that one is quite visually rewarding ! Particularly enjoying the wing-like roll off on the sides...

On my list that's before every flight session, merely because it's so easy to carry a lens cloth in the bag, only takes a few seconds, and is fairly pivotal to correct operation of the craft if you fly in those modes a lot. And while the cloth is out I also take the chance to run it over the...

May be irrelevant, and bit out of left field as a guess, but when did you last clean the sensors ? Could there be small obstruction or something lightly coating 1 of the sensors on the right side that occludes it slightly, and could feasibly make it fly in that direction in OA modes more slowly...

It really varies from day to day and from software to software. Sometimes ICE is fine, sometimes not. Personally I found it amongst the least reliable of them. A year later I would still posit that Hugin remains the only one that is error-free (or rescuable) for absolutely everything. The...

FFS. That's some weapons-grade governmental / bureaucratic arseholery going on there. There's another destination permanently off the 'visit list' for me then !

Yeah that is a battle we all have with some of the drones in the Mavic series; certainly my MP4 does that if I am not careful. And footage always looks sharper when you are on a straight track towards or away from it, as opposed to strafing along side it, or turning more than very gently. You...

Yep that's normal, otherwise we'd be having to listen to that annoying beeping from power-up to take off !

I think it's a 30 day thing. As long as that drone was turned on somewhere with wifi in the last month it'll work normally anywhere without a connection.

No no, he means up to FL 55,000 ft, not kph !.

Not if their aim was to demonstrate contempt for the airspace. I place a small amount of credulity to the theory that this could be 'posturing' by foreign powers to demonstrate that they can fly stuff over our nuclear sites with relative impunity. An offshoot of that theory worries further about...

Now I've had more time to think about it and check a few things, I think the 'clearest' pic set below is probably a night flyer Kite... too low res to make out the string ? If we search LED kite on google there's some very similar looking stuff available...

My guesses would be 'Yes' and 'Yes', and I would spend the money on additional battery packs for the drone instead.

Yep, definitely agree a lot of what is being latterly reported by the general public seems to be a lot of manned aviation. Things with flashing green and red lights do seem to feature quite heavily. But, in what I will endeavour to make the last video I post on the subject, here is a very...
