It's been a while now since I came across this Australian page, and see the issue of where to fly drones is still very much alive. I have discovered that recreational permits for drones can be obtained for the Northern Territory. They are free, and valid for 12 months at a time - with sensible...

A great compilation of Australia there. You have certainly travelled many thousands of kilometres to get to those locations. I recognised a few of those locations. Very professional quality video work.

The location I was referring to is about 500km north of Adelaide and there is room at the only pub to sleep about 6 people - otherwise you bring your own tent if you want to stay a couple of nights. There is no way that 'hundreds of tourists' are going to flock there with their drones. My...

As someone from South Australia too, I agree that the restrictions in most of the National Parks (Recreation Parks) are ridiculous. I did inquire about a permit to fly in one of these areas and the details I received were that drone flights were only permitted for research or commercial...

I too had continued with tyring to make sense of the non-behaving gimbal, as many people clearly have similar or related problems. I did a 'pretend' gimbal jam up by obstructing the gimbal movement with my finger during the gimbal's 3 axis test, and the "motor overload" warning flashed up on my...

I have tried that test too, and the camera does not stay stable when doing this - it just wobbles all over the place.

I don't think it is the gimbal cable as I have replaced that. I also thought that may be the problem, but I still have no control of the gimbal. The gimbal goes through the standard 3 axis rotations test (even when the controller is turned off), and then the camera just hangs there dong nothing...

I find quite a few discussion sessions on the Mavic Pro drone being the probable source of gimbal malfunctions, and I was wondering if there is any definitive way of finding out whether the drone or the controller is the source of the gimbal not working. I had been taking some vertical photos at...

I have a gimbal problem with my Mavic Pro. The problem seems similar to this and other gimbal malfunctions but in my case I have not had a crash or made any modifications. I had been taking a few vertical photos at about 3 metres height so I could check the precision of the GPS numbers listed...

Your reference to the Gatwick Airport and a drone being the culprit needs an important update. Investigations found that there never had been a drone there at all. Somebody believed they had seen a drone near the tarmac, and that set of a whole series of over reactions. Somebody else thought...

That brought back many pleasant memories for me. I was there for a week about 20 years ago to stay with relatives who live there. I was there in July, so no snow, but it was midnight sun time. If only I had a drone back then!

I sometimes refer to mine as my 'aerial camera', or to drop camera names, use my 'DJI camera' in that the way people refer to their Nikon or Canon 650D, etc

Hi there, I am also from Adelaide (Athelstone) and have been flying my Mavic Pro for 5 years now. I recently had to replace the first of my batteries recently, and the second one is starting to swell so will be retiring that fairly soon. 'Air Jordan' above mentions that he lives in Brighton...

I have finally managed to locate the Australian group again. So much of the o/s information does not have much relevance to Australia. I have been flying my Mavic Pro since May 2017, and apart from a few mishaps with broken propellers I have managed to patch it up and keep flying with it. I...

I too had become tired of Photoshop's monthly fees and additional demands for passwords at unpredictable times. I also started using affinity and have found it does everything I used Photoshop for. A single purchase price, and it is yours. It took me a while to adjust to some of the differences...
