part of the drone's skyview blocked by buildings, terrain or tree cover? Great question - yes it is How long since you last flew is another factor that will affect sat acquisition times. Interestingly, only a week but two months before that!

Hi all. Is there a way of finding out where one can safely fly in Newton Aycliffe? A friend lives there and said that due to a close by military school(?) and airport, flying is restricted?

This is both fascinating and annoying 😁 Thank you for this. The thing that confuses me is that is super normally? Perhaps agreeing to download the new software update and some calibration may help?

Hi all. I just tried to fly and could see that it said I had 14 satellites but the icon was red and wouldn't let me get my home point and resttricted height etc. If I flew up to max height and stayed a minute then it would gain enough sats to fly, but then I would come down to 4 m and it would...

I was once advised on here that a crash I suffered was partly due to it struggling position itself over running water?

Hi all. Quick one - was hoping to fly over a flooded river today but am concerned about any issues regarding stability or even losing it? (The drone, not my mind) Thoughts?

Why not use your phone to take these photos if you are concerned? iPhones will produce almost as good quality as the Mini 4?

This is a fair point and I thank you.👍🏼

Really interesting, thank you!

Thanks so much for this (and all answers!), really appreciate it. Yes, it took some skill with Sport mode....but I kind of enjoyed the challenge and didn't crash!!!👍🏼

Hi all. Did a bit of close up photography on the weekend and had to do it in Speed mode because I wanted to get close to the object - is there a way of using the other modes but disabling the obstacle avoidance?

Hi all. Out of interest, can anyone find any drones that actually use Lidar? I have seen quotes of 30k and much more but can't seem to see any online?
