Just completely block the sensor with foil. I think you'll have a hard limit if sub 20m if you don't have GPS though. Maybe even more like 10m

No, I'd get a CE version to save any warranty issues.

Ouch I feel sorry for your loss and it's an expensive mishap to happen. I was at a gathering of drone pilots a few weeks back and one of the "more experienced" members suggested setting the RTH altitude to 120m regardless of location. He would not accept that it was a absolutely stupid thing to...

I recently tested out the ulanzi and was rather underwhelmed almost to the point I wonder if my one is faulty.

Also, if you have a USA model and you're flying in the UK do the fake GPS hack as you'll get full USA power in the UK vs our increased power using the hack.

The logic makes sense. I know the FCC "hack" works for pretty much all of the DJI products and this "hack" seems interesting. I wonder if the same method works on the Mavic 2's etc as the original fake GPS hack works just fine with them.

Seems almost as if he is doing something wrong when there are LOADS of people getting 1-2miles range out of these in CE locations. Many more suffering blow-aways when they couldn't see them etc.

bingo. far far far far far more than vlos!

Depends where you are and what model. USA in FCC should see you okay range with 5.8ghz. elsewhere 2.4ghz should see you 1mile+. works great for me

Well in the UK you'll find a number don't care for the 1000ft threshold. I had to land the other day when a police helicopter was in the vicinity at around 200ft but not on radio not flight radar.

I listened for a while then realised it was pointless. All of the low flying private flights didnt announce their location or show on flight radar so gave up caring. Some of those are often FAR too low but they dont show up. I dont care for them if they dont want to announce themselves.

You should make it clear that the 600ft with no signal problems was probably with a pro not a mini. I'd guess a mini would fail far sooner than that if the trees were dense

Hopefully aerial pixel will look at the data from their test runs and see what they get. I remember back in my early phantom days (OG phantom!) and the props from the P2 came out (i think) they really did make a difference to battery life and even DJI acknowledged this.

C1 for gimbal 90deg/center C2 for underbelly lights. Those lights are really useful!

The thing is it WAS windy but at the same time my mini didn't just fall out of the sky when it was in greater winds. I've got photos of it holding steady at a funny angle in 20mph winds and whilst it was gusting more it was just getting battered around. To me it looks like the pilot was flying...
