    Good idea - I'll give that a go.

    Crossed controls

    Tried the flying home backwards but none of the controls work as they should and they are not reversed, I. E. Right stick Left may cause the drone to fly forwards. Pulling it back may cause it to fly right. Really confusing and only the right stick functions are affected. Left stick works as it...

    Cheapest IOS Tablet for Mini

    Mine has 32gB and it is more than enough for what I use it for.

    Crossed controls

    No - no smart watch and nowhere near any powerful radio transmitters that I'm aware of. Not sure if it's the app causing the problem on my Mini 4, with Litchi or if it's with the controller. (I'm using Litchi if FPV mode)

    Crossed controls

    Hi - I'm flying the Mavic Pro V1 and have had no problems with it apart from this weird problem. It's made me cautious - needing to make sure that the drone is behaving properly before having the confidence to go off on a mission.

    Cheapest IOS Tablet for Mini

    I found I had problems with connectivity and video performance with Android tablets. I don't think the Android version of Go and Litchi is as stable as IOS.

    Crossed controls

    On a couple of recent flights I've experienced crossed controls. Setup, connection, GPS lock and take-off all normal. Not long into the flight I noticed that the craft wasn't responding correctly to the controls. At first I thought that I'd become confused and had the craft pointed towards me...

    Cheapest IOS Tablet for Mini

    I've been using an iPad Mini 4 with my Mavic Pro and my Mini. I've had no issues with either though primarily use Litchi to run my Mavic. Although I'm an Android user, I bought the iPad Mini as I couldn't get decent stability and performance out of any Android tablet. BTW - I use the iPad for my...

    RC STICK ERROR

    I've never had a stick error, but a couple of weeks ago I was taking photos of a neighbour's new deck (Mavic 20m away). Finished taking the photos from various altitudes then tried to bring it home using right stick. Mavic would not respond correctly to stick input. I thought initially that my...

    Blade Test Results- DJI vs CARBON FIBER

    Just bought a couple of sets of MA props for my MP1. One test flight so far - definitely quieter than the ML low noise and 45rpm slower spin. Still have to run and dndurance test.

    Low noise props

    I bought some clone low noise props on ebay and have flown many hours with them with no problems. I'm not recommending them, just sharing my experience.

    Drones in Zimbabwe and Botswana

    No - no issues with South African, Zimbabwe or Botswana customs. I carried my drone in my carry-on camera back pack which I'd modified to carry my 35mm DSLR, lenses and all my drone gear. I had no comments or issues when they scanned my carry-on in Jo'burg or when leaving Maun in Botswana (we...

    Drones in Zimbabwe and Botswana

    You won't be able to use your drone to film Vic Falls - they are strictly prohibited because of the scenic flights around the Falls. I did fly mine at the Safari Lodge, but was eventually advised by the manager there that they were banned there too. On our elephant ride the guide did ask me to...

    Virtual Litchi Mission

    Can't thank you enough @namirda for such a great piece of software. It is going to save me many failed missions based on my past experience! Thumbs Way Up!

    Mavic and Waypoint Flight Mode

    Yes it does. Completely hands off after launching - it is exactly how I run my Litchi missions.
