Sorry. I’m seeing nothing but light traces on a long exposure possibly caused by hand holding a longish lens with the stabilisation (if any) turned off. Some shots show lens flare, others off axis artifacts It’s a bit like the people who claim that a drone has been following them for miles when...

But the problem is that users with RID scanners find that the drone transmits RID even when using the standard battery. It isn’t supposed to transmit as this isn’t required. Not even DJI rep’s realised this.

The AI forgot that a decent battery and charger combination won’t even let the battery start charging until the battery has cooled down, so add another 30 minutes.

I understand all of this, especially reading data from electronic components. I also know that it is possible to calculate or relate a number to another reading. Manufacturers do it all the time. Grams of diesel particulate in a dpf calculated from pressure is a common one for me. I know there...

But it wasn’t supposed to broadcast unless the overweight ‘plus’ battery was being used, unless they’ve another way of deriving take off weight which is picking up anything over 250.00g.

Drone controllers use the same logic as R/C helicopters which are largely based on the real thing rather than on fixed wing aircraft. With left stick dealing with combined collective and throttle controlling downward thrust, so adjusting up and down and the right stick dealing with cyclic...

Sorry, can’t help you as my mini 4 pro is timestamping video’s correctly. Try posting in the mini 4 pro thread. You might get more responses than from this 4 year old Mavic Pro thread.

The only advantage I can see with it was the ability to charge a depleted battery to 60%. My 100w charger gives me 3 outputs. Charging block (2 batteries) with one, drone (1 battery) with second and controller with third.

Blame Brexit! The CAA set a LIMIT, not a target weight with a tolerance.

I have this charger. I put one mini 5 pro battery on it and it charged but threw a hissy fit as it got to cell balancing. The mini 5 batteries are a lower voltage but higher power than mini 4 batteries. They are also physically lighter. Not going to bother as the new charging hub and a decent...

In this case no. If I’m taking pictures with my drone there’s this buzzy thing flying above the area. If I’m using an SLR I’ll be putting the thing to my face or it’ll be on a tripod. They are obviously being used to take pictures/videos. I’ve watched all kinds of people(often Karens), sometimes...

Over here we some choice in what is published about us, which ‘directories’ and what is contained in them. Yes, I’m on the redacted electoral roll so I can vote but my data not sold, my home phone is ex-directory so not listed. Even as a school governor (a voluntary elected role) my contact...

Because (depending on jurisdiction) the RID broadcast has to include the location of the drone controller and therefore the pilot. There are very few instances that you HAVE to broadcast your home address in plain to anyone who happens to have an app on a phone, which you’d be doing if you start...

I’d have thought that sneakiness was the first thing that border agents were looking out for. Is it really worth the risk of the possible consequences?

While easy to do, it would misrepresent what is actually there. A bit like most of the models in magazines, airbrushed to death.
