    Golf Course Flyovers - adding text into the video

    Adding text to video is something that every video editor program is capable of. In davinci resolve (which I use) it is even possible to link the text with objects in the video so that the text "follows" the selected object. You can even make the font grow/shrink over time to make the text...

    Aircraft lost connection with RC. What happens?

    Thank you for the feedback. The link to the other post was interesting, especially the trial of purposefully turning off the controller to see how the drone responds. I have been looking to the flight recording that is available in the DJI Fly app and it did mention the moment where it lost...

    Aircraft lost connection with RC. What happens?

    Hi everyone, I just had a scary moment while flying my Mini 2. I was flying back home (manually), still about 200m away, 4 bars of signal, when all of a sudden, the video turned grey and the message "aircraft not connected to RC" appeared. I didn't panic, but instead tried positioning the RC to...

    5 reasons not to fly a drone.

    I think you were both missing the point. Underneath the photo there is a link to the article.

    Fitting that you chose Sigur Rós for the soundtrack.

    Specifications look promising. Too bad it's not planned to be for sale (see sticker on the box) :cool:

    Landing Mini 2 on a boat

    I just found this video on YouTube. That's enough to stop me from thinking I want to do that.

    Landing Mini 2 on a boat

    After reading the comments and reflecting on previous life decisions, I think it would be best if I simply don't try launching and landing from a moving boat until I'm absolutely sure the missus can be convinced to let me buy a new drone. Thank you all for your feedback.

    Landing Mini 2 on a boat

    Hi everyone, In a few weeks I'm going on a dive cruise on a small yacht. I plan to fly my mini 2 to take pictures and video of the boat and surroundings. I did the same last year, but only flew when the boat was anchored and when there was no or little wind. I had no problems launching and...

    Stress cracks on the Mavic Air

    There was 1 sentence in the original post that triggered my attention: So I did what anyone would logically do in this scenario and busted out a box of matches and sealed the crack back up. Can you please elaborate on this procedure? I'm always happy to learn something new.

    Help needed from more experienced drone pilots

    Encountered it today on FaceBook. Thought I'd post it here

    Connection lost with the mobile device

    Thanks for the tips Gary. I already shut down WiFi and Bluetooth and stop any running apps before connecting to the controller. Putting it in airplane mode would even be better. Just out of curiosity: is it possible to configure 2 smartphones for the same drone and use either one of them or do...

    Connection lost with the mobile device

    You are absolutely right. But you also know it's not easy to spot a small light grey drone against a light grey sky. I knew exactly where it was and I had a clear view to it, but still I only saw it when it was almost directly above me (and I heard it before I saw it)

    Connection lost with the mobile device

    Thanks for the feedback everyone. Next time (if there is a next time), I will try wriggling the USB connector to get connection again. Anyway, this experience has made me (again) a bit more confident flying my little drone. And thank God (the one of your choice) for the RTH button.
