    MavicAir 1 misbehaved during landing

    Hi there all, We had to do an urgent rental video, and while shooting a thunderstorm started to roll in. By the time we initiated the landing sequence, fat drops already started to fall. The drone flew back to the home point (I was standing close to the original liftoff). It went through all...

    Thanks, I will definitely watch. I want to use the drone for 'cinematic' things, yes, but I also think it is a good idea to get a couple of maneuvers that one can practice (like doing the scales when playing piano).

    yes, it takes getting used to the direction of the drone vs the controls! Slowly grasping that. What is a funnel ? Every day I practice the movements I am doing, and once comfortable with it, I try and make it a bit more complicated. And then look at the video footage.

    Is this a predominantly male hobby?

    I got sort of roped in to the flying/operating, but I have to admit that it is quite a lot of fun for an old maid to have ... And now I need to be the best and outperform the owner of the drone :cool:

    Very nice! I like the handle for easy carrying. I am busy creating a nice landing pad. Regretfully the old plastic surface is all powdery and paint or tape will not last long. So plan B is to make a little fitted sheet with a contrasting colour sewn on. (I also plan on incorporating a carry...

    Good morning :) I am still practicing with my MavicAir. Doing a gradient decent, a flyby sideways (and then turning the drone slightly, which is quite cool & started to do figure of 8's above our house. But would be keen to know if there is a list of maneuver that I could use in my daily...

    Air 1 Lovely bay - Porto Timoni!

    in 1988 we backpacked through Europe. It was in the blissful days pre European Union visas where one could visit any place in a country if you had a visa for said country. And we discovered that little beach! We never arrived in Mainland Greece, as we enjoyed Corfu so much. Rented scooters and...

    Hectic! I will provide the drone with a better landing strip - add some duct tape or some sort cross the the centre. Good advice :-) But this morning i had a near perfect landing on the landing pad. I think it was an inch or 2 out. (the drone also requested a compass reset, which I did)

    Phone GPS out by a meter

    Very sage advice, much appreciated! Currently I am just focusing on flying in straight lines, doing a gradient up or down while flying, turning, and have slowly started to circle around obstacles, eg trees in the yard. Luckily we have no buildings at the back of our property, and is avoiding...
