It IS absurd. Whilst I can accept that the 'magic' figure of 250g was arrived at via some sort of collision testing it must be obvious to everyone involved that a couple of grams either side of that makes a negligible difference. And when a few grams is added purely to satisfy another one of the...

The most viable workaround I can see is also the most obvious. The police won't see where your drone is until they have found you, stopped, got out of the car, and then located it in the sky. In that time, I will be turning recording off, so that by the time they arrive by my side there are my...

Yep, my mini4P also remains unlimited. Looks like only updating firmware when it offers some functions you actually want has some advantages...

There have been several more videos from these guys - it's turning out to be quite an active channel ! This video demos some new sensors and stable Atti mode flight without a GPS connected; good that they are focusing on features DJI consumer machines don't have, and the option to choose to fly...

A lot of the DJI boards are conformal coated to a large extent, so it is always possible that it hasn't got to a lot of vulnerable circuitry. And whilst any corrosion that has occurred cannot be fixed by rinsing, it can be halted from doing it further if the damage is not yet interrupting vital...

Yes, it's not often mentioned that adding a new gimbal requires a factory-level calibration that only DJI and a few 3rd party developers can arrange and deploy.

Yes, one of the few losses of DJI slowly moving everyone from Phantoms to Mavic-based kit was that we lost the ability to manually force Atti Mode along the way. As it is we have to wait for GPS problem to occur, and then persist occurring until the system notices and disables it for us. I found...

I'm not on YuneecPilots anymore, but when I was even the H520s had a long list of weird stuff they did ! And it was very hard to have any faith in a company that constantly looked as if it was on the very brink of death or bankruptcy !

For me it was my Yuneec Hexacopter, the original Typhoon H. Despite being one of the nicest control surfaces to work with, and the machine itself being astonishingly stable in high wind, and its 'Yuneec' 360 degree gimbal (as yet unmatched by anyone including DJI, whose gimbals can't quite...

Could be that his eyesight isn't that hot, and he likes to fly while keeping the UAV in view. Or that he may find it very hard to judge relative distance AT distance if you see what I mean ? Or he might not have it logged in and is getting restricted to those sort of short-range boundaries ? Or...

I can't see how reinstalling the app would make the slightest bit of difference, so I wouldn't bother with that ! ;)

Internal aerials ? I thought the RC2 only had the 2 external ones ? If it does have any internal ones I have been using them with my sunshade from the start and have never noticed any lack of performance. Actual sunshade component largely a waste of time for that purpose - makes very little...

It might make sense to merge all the DJI-related ones into this one (presuming this one has most users) and perhaps ultimately merge with the other pilots forums too, as their numbers inevitably diminish ? There aren't going to be many in the way of the Autel guys for much longer I wouldn't have...

The reason for that is almost always because a thumb is inadvertently touching the tiny back arrow top left of the screen as it reaches across to the left stick. Minor holding technique adjustment required to avoid that, but once you get in the habit of raising that thumb off the screen problem...

Certainly deserves its own thread here, but as there are already different 'pilot' sites for DJI Inspire and Phantom lines (not sure why the latter is still going now that line is officially dead !) you'd think a whole new brand by a whole new manufacturer that is bound to produce additional...
