Another point worthwhile keeping in mind, not only are the majority of pilots breaking the VLOS rule, but if you sync your flight records in DJI Go 4 to see your total number of hours and kilometres grow, who else has access to this data that could possibly be used against you at sometime!

I reset to hoover only once. Even though it was only around 200m away, I was flying under a bridge and didn't want an unexpected loss of signal followed by a sudden ascent to 60m! I think it's worthwhile to always consider your planned flight path and wonder if anywhere along it I could get into...

Thanks for all your advice and I normally ensure the Mavic batteries are fully charged and the controller at least over 50%. The annoying problem I have is the iPad has a habit of discharging slowly during the day (I have no idea why). I might think I have 100% and if I forget to check on site...

Hi guys, I had an unexpected scare when flying my MA, my iPad battery's charge dropped dangerously low. While I still had power I thought I'd experiment and hit the return to home button on the hand controller and nothing happened? Was this because the iPad was still in control? I didn't have...

Hello from Sydney (Bankstown area). Are you aware there is a facebook page titled, 'Central Coast Drone Flyers'.

Hi guys, you are all fantastic and I've learned a lot from the comments above. A few answers: I was flying indoors out of convenience, it was at night and the building is in an airport no fly zone. The flight logs recorded little, but It was flying in Atti mode at times and got some warnings...

Hi guys, I had a strange incident with my MA while getting in some practice flying and experimenting with settings on the drone in a school hall. Being indoors it was in visual mode only so no GPS and I couldn't even calibrate the compass (no surprise). I had great control and response until I...

G'day from Sydney. I don't know about going up and down the whole time, but on start up my MA does a quick jump a couple of times between the extreme gimbal locations. I've always assumed this was part of the internal calibration. This is a good reason to always remember to take the cover off...

Hi FlyingBee, from a fellow MA owner living in Sydney. Am I understanding correctly, this is the first drone you have owned? If so, be careful of the restrictions with National Parks in Australia. The openSky app is great but only is CASA and it doesn't tell you of the NSW Nat Parks ban of...

hi guys, Has anyone thought that the magnet in iPads (I assume for the mounting of the external keyboard) has the potential to cause compass error, or at least forced a recalibration? I've suspected it with my MA a couple of times but have no convincing evidence. I've certainly transported them...

I agree with Jatekman, what a wonderful video. It isn't just the scenery and music but the overall atmosphere you created. This is what cinematography is all about! Were you using filters, which ones? Regards Glenn

Hi guys, any thoughts on whether the video sucks battery as well. I tend to have it recording all the time just in case I get that magic shot during editing. When doing this I typically get close to 13 mins starting at 100% finishing around 28%. Also, with hover tests does having the drone up...

Hi guys, A 2 part question. One, am I correct to say the larger the line in wifi the more interference on that channel, so it should be avoided, especially when it is red? I’ve seen large green lines, as well, how do I read that? Two, I’ve been getting very poor range lately, being sometimes...

Hi guys, I'm new to DJI products having just purchased an Air. Can someone please explain the advantages of this offer? Is the difference between this and normal warranty that 'Refresh' will send you a new one in exchange for the old (damaged) one, where the normal warranty they repair the old...
