    Disconnected over the ocean! No RTH!

    I clicked on street view the rocks don't look that high in that area. So that leaves compass error the likey cause.

    My new Dacckit case

    I leave my charger at home therefore the flymore combo bag has plenty room four batteries (one in the drone) PS When the door opened I thought of this.

    Music Video Shot Entirely on Mavic Air using Smart Capture

    Sorry shaunmichaelj Don't mean to hijack your exelent video post. Don't you think it is good enough to sell? Say he wants to use it as a promotional video. Does that count? I know this one is not monotized on youtube bit if it were (even only making pennies) this still comes under the rules...

    Music Video Shot Entirely on Mavic Air using Smart Capture

    Impressive. Syncing the audio must have been a nightmare. Sorry to put a damper on this. But your next step is to get a comersialdrone licence so you can sell the video. Which to me is the biggest bummer for the odd paying video. Not sure what the likelyhood of being caught is. Probably no more...

    First Flight

    Watch as many YouTube videos as you can consume when you are not flying. I learned so much from watching them and then putting to practice what I learned. And of course, learn from the mistakes and tips posted right here in the forums! Especially the ones that go wrong. Read all the comments to...

    How many times do you have to calibrate the compass?

    Sorry but you will have to remove your pacemaker. I sometimes wonder if it is just traveling in the car that offsets it.

    Need some help from UK flyers.

    Seems rediculous that if you are certified (I mean that in the best way) that you need to report and tell everything. But if you are just a hobbiest you just have to obey a few commonsense rules listed.

    FCC mode in CE area

    That's a great tip for apple users. Borrow a friends Android. Load and run DJI go 4 and connect to Mavic air then instalthe fake GPS. Once all up and running delete those apps on friends phone and buy him a pint of beer. Upgrading? Does it stop the hack? NO. Not on mine. How to switch.

    I have been watching a lot of youtube mistakes and following forums (not just this one) and learning from their mistakes. Some of which are idiotic. Lets see how for I can fly this thing with the wind is the best and out of line of sight to me also means out of line of wifi. There are too many...

    Apperently you cannot switch off ATTI mode in the Air.

    This drone flying is not as easy as I thought it would be. It's OK just zooming about the place but I have to make sure the camera is also setup right. (no over/under exposure, which ND filters) and of course frame your video to keep it interesting. Watch out for obstacles. Ooops watch that...
