As others have said- this first batch of reviews is from those who DJI consider to be "influencers" and thus got a freebie drone weeks ahead of launch to "review". They are on the DJI payroll. The more critical and unbiased reviewers quite noticeably got left out. When these guys get their...

I used to upload all the raw files to Dropbox and paid for the service. Then I realised that my Office 365 subscription included 1TB MS OneDrive cloud storage for "free". I moved it all over- but it was a lengthy painful process downloading it all and re-uploading, balancing spare capacity on...

The public will feel safer already......

Checks..... No- not April 1st.

Well just to close out this incident I have now completed a further 3 flights with no problems at all- if a little nervous! Before the first flight I did a full IMU and compass calibration just to do “something” that might prevent another fly-away. Thanks to all that responded and contributed-...

Or legal flights by ANY drone- are you allowed to detect, jam and force to land any drone that happens to be flying over your premises? "Mexican Drug Gangs" using "Flocks of Drones" excepted of course. What a joke!

I think yours and a few others input and help was mention in the YT comments, so I was aware it perhaps had been discussed on here. Thread mentions a "friend" so not sure on the communication trail- but yes I would hope that any assistance is acknowledged and feedback supplied- seems polite! I...

Has anybody that knows about these things managed to get DJI to admit there may be a problem with the M2P- they must monitor YT and social media?

Yes, I think in 14 months of ownership I only had to calibrate my MP1 2 or 3 times- and then I kinda knew it would as I suspected rebar under a concrete pad or something. MP2 seems a needier child. And then it flies off anyway.....

Sorry- I attach all of the FLY074 files again I must have missed one. The flight log (TXT) upload shows the flight stabilising somewhat towards the end, but the drone still trying to RTH- pointing the right direction but making no headway as if against a headwind. But the wind, if any- should...

I am learning so much here but still scrabbling to keep up with the in-depth analysis- thank you so much for all your involvement and time! From the graphs presented can I say then that at some point one of the IMU's went crazy- causing the drone to basically chase its own *** around the sky...

Wow thanks guys I am getting a real insight now as to what may have happened- even that it may not have been a mysterious whirlwind or the chump on the sticks!. So the IMU's went out of agreement- IMU1 going off on it's own wild ride? I can confirm that the compass recalibration was done at...

Thanks for your input, it tallies with my understanding of the txt file. I am also aware that later in the flight whilst in Sports Mode my stick inputs were actually adding to the speed over the ground (water), but by then both me and the drone were very disorientated! I think any further...

This is the brief video I shot on the flight out to the wreck. It shows nothing exceptional and I include it only because to me it shows calm conditions and nothing that would suggest a cause for the excessive speeds that occured immediately after. The (only) still photo I took whilst...

A video of the flight would have been fun I admit! I have footage of the flight out, but then switched to stills for the shots I wanted. Reviewing the video shows a nice calm sea- nothing to indicate adverse weather. The one still photo I got shows the sun misaligned through the wreck- the...
