IF the drone stays where it is when it loses power.

I just use a standard plastic cover with a three-fold front flap. It sits nicely in the front pocket of the DJI Fly More bag. I just pop it out of the cover and slide it in the wings of the controller and the cover goes back in the bag. All very simple.

I once tried to land on a seaside platform that had a SS fence on three sides and the Mavic went mental.

Originally downloaded it from the play store. It now downloads daily in the background even if I have nothing open. I just see the download mini-icon in the top of the screen that it is downloading something.

Everything has been fine using an iPad Mini 4 because my Galaxy S4 couldn't seem to cope with DJI Go V4. However, I recently upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy S8+ and thought I'd give it a go. Everything works fine using the app on the S8+ but for one thing. Ever since I installed it, it...

SkyHB, you are talking about problems in mid-flight, broken prop etc. So in most of those cases the battery would still have a fair charge. Unless you have a crash while returning home after battery reaches 8%, you will get a good amount of time with the Mavic GPS showing its location to your...

I got a 128 but it is dual use. Had just bought the Mavic combo but it only worked so so with the Samsung S4. So how to justify even more expense? Well I convinced the wife her iPad2 was getting old and how would she like a brand new one. So I get to fly with it during the day and she uses it...

Good clip. but I was expecting a story about a mavic lost in water. :D

I think the problem is simply in the words " my 5 year old laptop".

I'll bow to superior knowledge on that one. Also it was probably the weather that keeping him low as they normally fly in at 1000ft when I watch them on Flightradar. So nighttime and weather will certainly keep me out of his way. Just a scary thought when I did the sums.

Yep. Illegal to fly drones at night in Australia. Could by why the helicopter felt safe to go in low. I've never seen them that low in the daytime so here's hoping they don't.

So I live about 7-9km from two hospitals that have emergency chopper pads. Last night at near midnight a Rescue chopper went over our house. Sounded fast and low. I pulled up Flightradar24 and it showed the chopper tracking over our house at 500ft and doing 80 knots (about 150kph). Of course...

I have no problem with registration, providing it isn't onerous. The USA FAA method of $5 and an identifying number attached would be acceptable to me. It could also help with lost/found drones. Tracking is a bit Big Brother-ish. Mavics already have geofencing technology built in. Safety and...

A place we went to recently. I'm still learning flying technique not looking at post colour corrections yet. This was shot in 2.7k 25fps, PAL, Landscape +1,+1, 0, Color style Normal, AWB, and with ND16 filter. Music by Eric Matyas of soundimage.org Edited without colour correction with Movie...

The DJI GO4 app does record a back-up copy of the video - with sound - but only in 720.
