Cricky, what an amazing piece of work, you've got some guts to do that kind of flying, and now I can see why the Americans are worried about China!!!

Difficult to tell how substantial the tree limbs are from your pic, but if they can support someone's weight near enough to your drone, and using German Barrios' idea of a telescopic pond net, it may be possible to retrieve the aircraft that way. I suspect your new drone is worth a lot more than...

Sorry to hear about your plight and understand your frustration. Same thing happened to me recently. Luckily my neighbour is a tree surgeon and he was more than happy to climb up there and rescue my MP without a scratch to either himself or the drone. He did not charge me for his time, saying it...

I can't use Litchi as there is a registration blockage on my controller. I have tried registering on 3 different WI-FI networks now ( as suggested by Litchi ) but to no avail. I have now abandoned using Litchi and just use Go4 and I don't even know whether I'm registered or not!

Me too, it's a hobby which I enjoy continually learning new things about flying and photography. I am also lucky enough to live virtually in the middle of nowhere so I can just go through my back gate into the open hills of Northumberland with the MP or Air and enjoy.

I use a Nvidia K1 for my pro, only because I got Litchi for waypoints on it. Like any tablet/phone sun glare is a problem I suppose. Can't be of much more help.

I've been waiting for this one! My Pro got stuck up in a tree ( my fault entirely ) Luckily my neighbour is a tree surgeon and welcomes an opportunity to climb trees for reasons other than chopping them down! Up he went, guided by the lights on the bird, and brought it down in one piece. Didn't...

I sympathise, had the same problems with my Shield K1, bought three cables before I got the right one. One of the other guys pointed out that the RC micro USB is not standard, it's unique to DJI. However, go on line and get one from Anbee, 208mm long with reverse connection, should solve your...

Hi finalfan7asy, just like you I did loads of research and plumbed for the Pro and really glad I did. Never had a drone before and I'm absolutely hopeless at photography but the sheer joy of learning to fly and continually improve on my photography skills is just so good. What's great about the...

iPhone 5s and nvidia when I can get it to connect. Why d'ya ask?

I fly in Northumberland from my garden 800ft up. I look down on the Chinooks flying through the valley!

I bought a Nvidia shield at great expense because of the larger screen and the fact I could use Litchi whereas my iPhone 5S would not accommodate Litchi. I am still trying to figure out how to connect the shield to the RC so can' tell you how good ( or bad ) it is. Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks BigMotor, sorry to have called you "BigBird" before. Your help is much appreciated, hopefully I'll be flying with the K1 soon.

Thanks for the reply Big Bird. Just to clarify, are you using the charging output from your K1 to connect to the RC or the mini HDMI?
