Welcome to the forum from Antrim. I bought an air 1 last year but haven't been able to fly much with the lockdown. Hope to be out soon to get some air time.

The only sensible answer given to this question. If only people would read their manual.

I fly a mavic air 1 with a refurbished iPad mini5. Its brilliant however I was lucky to have got the fly more with 3 batteries as spare batteries are as rare as hens teeth. Definitely try to get the mini2 and maybe a refurbished compatible phone or iPad mini. You can get away with using the iPad...

Yes I was there with the campervan a few years ago. Lovely place plenty of scenery.

Welcome from Antrim. Is that cranfield near Toome ?

Mavic air 1 will record by default to the internal memory. You have to change it to the sd card in the settings.

Hi yes ive seen that map for Belfast international airport but why does Nats show an area in red 3 times larger ?

Hi I'm new to the hobby and am confused about flight restriction zones particularly as shown in Nats app. I thought the zone was a radius of 2.5 nm from the centre of the main runway + the 1 nm x 5 nm extension of the runways but Nats shows a mutch larger radius of approximately 15 nm at Belfast...

Nice video. Very easy to watch. Could have been a bit longer for me and maybe some text telling what were looking at.

I'm no expert but I have found that if there is any wind the home position acquired can be some distance away from the actual take off position. I use a takeoff pad so the drone records the home position relative to it but not necessarily directly above it.

Welcome from Antrim. What part of Ireland are you from?

Watched a YouTube video showing how to cure the critical error on the gimbal but all it shows is recalibration. The led,s still show red even though the gimbal appears to work normally.

As a noobie I constantly forget to remove the gimbal cover before powering up.a simple mod I have done to prevent this is to cut and hot glue a piece of plastic sheet to the cover. Now when I power up the mod reminds me to remove the cover thus preventing gimbal overload. I will probably paint...

Yes its nerve wrecking. I stuck mine to the ceiling last night. I was flying it using my Samsung s70. I thought it might be because it was low light affecting the sensors. I'm just outside Antrim town. Hoping to find some nice places to fly .

Hi you can look forward to some crappy videos as I have a lot to learn.
