Sorry but I don't understand your point in comparing Drone World and DJI in this way. DW replaced some faulty blades costing a few dollars (to them). Quite right, and in my experience common when dealing with low value items. You then berate DJI because they wouldn't give you a loyalty...

I use my MP to monitor cattle on a river bank. I can fly above them at 150 ft and they really don't care apart from the occasional glance to see where the noise is coming from. At that distance (with the camera at 2x zoom, I can hover and count them if necessary. It's a great tool (and a...

I've flown my MP without an SD card on numerous occasions. No issues as far as I can tell. I'm not sure it would be a good idea for the flight system to rely on an SD card. Imagine what would happen if it ran out of storage half way through a flight?

Hi. When the app is running and connected to the RC there is a continuous flow of information between the drone and app via the RC. Changes to a setting in the app, are sent immediately to the RC and/or drone (drone RTH altitude for example). Clearly, you don't actually need the app to be...

Absolutely. Forgot to say that I often feel quite lonely[emoji16]

The simple rule "Never engage in mental fencing with an unarmed opponent" has always served me well.

The "bent" frame looks like quite severe pin cushioning. This can be found in camera lenses costing much more the the Mavic air itself, so I'm not surprised. In images at least It can be fixed using processing software such as Adobe Lightroom. In the picture, the vertical brickwork looks worse...

I have only one question...... Why?

Yes, I was confused at first when I received mine. Eventually i noticed a label on the battery showing how to switch it on but to not include it in the Quick start guide is appalling. I've not bothered but there's a full manual you can download from the DJI site Mavic Pro– Specs, FAQ...

Yes I can see the sudden drop to 0 mph. To be honest when my Mavics gimble reset during flight my panic reaction was WTF! and I let go of the controls. At that point the Mavic would have braked to a halt and hovered. I I now know that it was only the camera moving and that the Mavic was...

Ah, you said "almost crashed", sorry. I quickly looked at your log. I might have missed something but I can see you switching to sport mode and returning home. Still think it was just a gimble reset (not uncommon unfortunately).

Is it possible this was simply the gimbal resetting itself? I had a gimble reset during flight and i really thought i was losing it at the time. The video stops too soon to tell what happens next. You say it crashed but also that it was still OK. Given you were over the ocean at the...

Surely DJI will inevitably enforce a no update, no fly policy? I have to say, whether we like it or not, NFZ's and other flight restrictions are probably here to stay.

Probably because, like me you're using dji go 4 on android which hasn't been updated to 4.1.10 yet [emoji53]

I can understand the concern you have Dronenoob-TN but the simple fact is that the vast majority of Mavics behave perfectly. It is an effect of any forum like this, that the genuine issues that some people have are (rightly) given high exposure but as a percentage of all Mavics, it is an...
