is your controller giving you verbal information? I can hear it muttering. My Mini2 only says a few things. Yours seems to be giving you constant verbal info. Is there something I can enable to get the same?

Wow! Best wife in the world! So you are hoping the Mini 3 will not come out soon and have super new feature that make you want to upgrade again! Or you'll end up with all 3!

Well he sent his water damaged Mini2 to DRONEDOCTOR and within a few days they reported it was badly corroded and too expensive to repair. No quote for the repair. Cost £8.99 to send and £19.95 to have it diagnosed and returned… It was under the water for over an hour, so that amount of time...

I don't think it is worth up-grading by just 1 generation. You've got a MINI 1, so you're not droneless, Stick with it and then get the MINI-3 (or what ever it will be called), then you will be getting a significant up-grade. I nearly bought a MINI-1 as my first drone, but I knew the upside...

Wow - cool. That's a beast of an LED on it. Let me know when you next fly, I expect I will be able to see it! Haha!

No, he didn't have the DJI care package! But nor have I. He's a lot more adventurous with his drone than I am so I am not surprised he's clobbered it and drowned it. He immediately bought a replacement (the basic DJI mini2), so he is back flying again. I think I would do the same. It's...

It's a shame there isn't an option for Dynamic Home Point, where the home point = the location of the mobile phone attached to the remote control handset. At least that would take away the worry of getting the drone into your immediate vicinity, preferably at the back of the boat. You still...

6-700 feet sounds about right to me too. And yes, you blink or look away, and you're unlikely to see it again! So in the UK, we are supposed to maintain VLOS (Visible Line Of Sight). That means the majority of flights (which are likley 1000 feet and more) are violating this rule. Is it accepted...

Hi, My friend flew his drone under a small bridge, and just before he came out the drone lurched to the right and hit the wall and fell in to the river. It took him a few hours to go home and get his boots on and find it. He dismantled it and flushed it with fresh water, then dried out over...

I think the water has caused gross malfunction of the electronics, and amongst the faults are random LEDs on. My friends drone hit the inside wall of a bridge and fell in the river, it took 2 hours to retrieve it. It's pretty much dead. He took the covers off and flushed it with fresh water to...

good thinking!!! of course you are right - I never thought about that! ****.

Removing the long strap has been discussed before, but now I have a proper solution! I used a hacksaw to cut slots in the middle of the metal square ring where they can't be seen. The strap slides off and is easy to put back on with no visibility of the slot. One slot had to be slightly wider...

What is the best Screen Video Capture for Android? Has anybody got a screen capture app for their android phone to basically record what the screen shows during the flight. I think this would be quite nice to look at because it has the flight info/telemetry data as well as the video from the...

Thanks Nathankw and Lister. There is a superb ruined castle near here, I have flown over it, and in to it, but I want to do a circle route around it. It is closed to the public, and has a fence all round it. So I stand in the nearby field, fly towards one of the turrets, then at some distance...

I want to be able to do a circle round a building, but when I am nowhere near the building. eg quickshot circle round a remote object. Is this what you are talking about ? Do I start the quickshot circle when I am over the centre of the building, or on the edge of the circle? Will the circle be...
