I use UAV all the time coupled with an anemometer to confirm winds peed (£3 off Wish) and flightradar24 if I intend going over 30m altitude. Just remember line of sight.

Drone technology is a procrastinators dream come true. Should I buy this (proven) or buy that (new and shiny) or wait for the other (promise of the future). I fly an MPP and had the chance to fly an Air the other day. Both of us agreed the rear sensors are really useful on the Air but we also...

I sadly agree, I really don't think I've come across a forum which is intended to help a community with more trolls, flamers, self-aggrandisers and nonsense. We are all hear to learn. Puts me off posting.

How I can change the MO I'm not sure? I completed all the forms they asked for, sent in as much other info like screenshots and camera stills from someone also on the boat. I like DJI, I think their support is spot on, the Care Refresh is valuable and works. I am not being put in a situation...

As with anything that is known to man 100 different people will give 100 different answers. As the old saying goes, 'Give a man a watch and he can tell you the time, give him two and you'll get an estimate.' Do what makes you happy.

Good point, there must be nothing for it to crash into otherwise it'll going into SEEK mode ha ha ha.

Each case is taken on merit, supporting evidence and the care taken by the pilot to minimise the event. I can't answer for DJI but suffice to say the European support team have been excellent. Be nice, give them loads of info and put your case forward. Good luck fellow pilot

I recalibrate before every new flight. By new flight I mean break of 12+ hours or location change. Commercial pilots do the same. Simple changes like an 11Kv cable being on or off 6m underground (invisible to us) can throw off the compass of your very expensive aircraft. Why risk it?

I had a great experience after I sank my Mavic in the Indian ocean, it was replaced within a fortnight. All I can say is I believe the CareRefresh is excellent value and the customer service is at the top of the league I have experienced.

Heaton Park mavic lost can you help?

I think Sport mode should be known as Smash mode, Splash mode, Smithereens mode, Scream mode, **** mode (as in Oh ****). Find a huge field take the drone high and do it once, then switch it off and Superglue mode off. If you 'need' it to get back home in high winds you shouldn't be flying...

Care Refresh is worth every penny in my opinion.
