    Gatwick Airport (UK) suspends flights due to Drone activity

    I agree. I was hoping that the trained it so it doesn't come in contact with the drone. Possibly drop a net onto it but then again it would need to get close and will endanger the bird.

    Gatwick Airport (UK) suspends flights due to Drone activity

    I was wondering why they haven't brought the eagles out to catch the drones. Turns out that the Dutch have abandoned the project due to concerns of injury to the eagles. Which makes sense.

    If they catch these people. They need to be put away for a long time and spend their life repaying the damage they cost. The disruption they caused to potentially millions of people during one of the busiest time of the year is immense. People going home and away to see their loves one. Heck...

    Flying over Cruise Ships

    I flew close to a luxurious parked yacht. As soon as I got close, I got severe interference and start losing control over the drone. So do be careful as they probably have some kind of satellite receiver or GPS stuff that might cause interference.

    What do you do when you know signal is getting weaker.

    Before I start seeing signal is weak. My video starts stuttering. I always fly the MA while I'm under a tree or shade so I'm pretty sure that weakens the signal. When video starts stuttering, I immediately turn the aircraft around and put it in sport mode. There are a few times where I got...

    Cancelling hold at 1.5' when landing

    I flew at night once so I had to turn the landing protection and VPS off. It landed very hard because I was expecting it hover before it lands. I landed at full speed lol.

    Do I have to reapply dji refresh on repair unit?

    To answer my own question. I contacted DJI and they had to do a transfer of care refresh to the new s/n.

    Do I have to reapply dji refresh on repair unit?

    I just got my repaired drone back. After activating the new drone, it says care refresh not detected and asked me if I want to purchase one. I can't seem to find instructions on how to register it. After logging into the dji website, I can see the care refresh is still applied to my old drone S/N.

    Davici Resolve, something more easy?

    I spent a couple of days learning DR. Took me like 3-5 hours to make my first short video. After my fifth video, I got the hang of it and can pump out videos pretty quickly. Most of the time it is looking through all my video footage to determine which one should be in the video. I probably...

    Mavic Air's controller antenna wont snap when folding?

    Same with my MA so it must be by designed.

    DJI Care Refresh

    Correct me if I'm wrong. Only issue with refresh is that you need to send the drone back. Doesn't work if you have lost it completely. With personal article insurance, it doesn't have that restrictions.

    Drove our new home up the Coast!

    That's a very nice van. Where can I get one of those and how much would I have to save up?! I'm all for living in a van and surfing on the west coast.

    The Mavic Air is "Tough"...

    I was using activeshots on my MA and it crashed into the top of the tree. I thought it had plenty of clearance but it was hard to judge when you're looking from far away. It dropped 47 feet and smashed into the ground. Only thing that was damaged was the the landing arm. Just the plastic bit at...

    Crashed into tree, should I use refresh?

    Logged the case with refresh. I was just thinking it is a cosmetic issue so it might be cheaper to go with Thunderdrones. Just renewing my renter insurance so I better add it to the policy too! Will report back later possibly with photos.
