BP Hooray. Finally you have read the regs properly and your misunderstanding of the regs re 5.5kms exclusion zone have been cleared up. Would doubt anyone on this Mavic Forum is interested in Micro RPAs (less than 100grams - if you were to take them outside in any more than the slightest of...

BP Turning the discussion around from initially saying that I was incorrect re the 5.5km exclusion zone to now saying you were confused by CASAs confusing regulations (they are'nt...if you carefully read PART 101 REGS then you would not have got it so wrong) is a weak excuse for not apologising...

Thats it, fed up with trying to get a very simple message across - if you cannot get it thru your head that your wrong, just go and fly within say 2 or 3 ks of a controlled airport like Tulla, Mascot, Coolangatta etc and see how long it takes for the authorities to turn up. Unbelievably stupid...

Hi Roger Your spot on - he is definitely confused. Guess that is understandable from those not conversant with aviation and CASA jargon. Some people just subscribe to the "don't let the facts get in the way of a good story" ideology. Common sense tells you that if an experienced, licensed RPA...

BP The regs are in some places a bit confusing to those who have not lived and breathed CASA speak and regs for many years....... For example, in the CASA video that I have inserted below, at the 53 second mark in the video they say "so keep well away from airports........." This in itself is...

Blake We (RPA flyers) all need to ensure that what we post in this forum is 100% correct as flyers with little or no understanding of CASA PART 101 regulations may take a comment like the one just made before by yourself as gospel and fly accordingly which could possibly have serious...

Hi Blake Just saw your reply and thought it needed a prompt reply as you are incorrect and my statement regarding CONTROLLED aerodromes/Heliports is correct. I'm a Commercial Pilot with many years of flying experience and fully understand CASA regs including those related to RPA operations...

Guys Re the 5.5km exclusion zone regulation - if an airfield or helipad has a control tower then the 5.5km exclusion zone comes into force (as the airfield/heliport is then considered a CONTROLLED aerodrome) WHILE the tower is active (manned). If it is not manned you can fly within 5.5kms of it...

I'm in Australia and CASA (Civil Aviation Safety Authority - same as your FAA) just relaxed the rules on the 29th Sept 2016 so that as long as your craft weighs less than 2kg (which the Mavic certainly does) then no certification or licences are required to fly commercially. Mind you, you still...

Thanks mate - thought it was probably a fat finger problem

Went for a fly this arvo to try out screen recording using Mobizen on my Samsung Galaxy s5, All went OK but when I downloaded footage later I found that the last 2 mins of a 14 minute screen capture did not display the telemetry, although it did still display the camera view and warning message...

I lose video while I am still on the ground trying to connect.

Started out with the new Mavic last week using my Samsung Galaxy s5 mobile. The DJI GO app on numerous occassions would stop displaying the video on the mobile screen and trying all sorts of fixes had varying degrees of success. Bought an APPLE ipad mini 2 this week and still having the app...

I could be wrong but when I was in the store to check out the ipad mini tablet I took my mavic rc with me to test fit. Mini 2 fitted into rc arms ok but I could not get the mini 4 to fit without the fear of breaking the arms. As I said, maybe I just did not try hard enough.

Thanks mate, but have spent countless hours on google and utube trying to find a free and easy to use colour grading app. Was wanting to hear from fellow forum members as to any specific apps they can recommend that fit my two criteria
