    Are there any problems with running Litchi by itself with the Mini 2?

    You remember incorrectly - Litchi is stand alone, for mavic pro and also mini 2 You only run one or the other . . .

    How quickly do you deploy your drone?

    It’s not about “hurrying”, this thread is about how quickly the OP can get his drone in the air in circumstances! The routine will be different for different drones but also the Inspire pilot is not likely to be using his Inspire the same way as the OP!

    When flying, how do you deal with your "Monkey Mind"

    If your thoughts drift to other subjects whilst casually flying your drone then it’s because you are flying it casually! It’s not a toy, it’s a flying object . . . Having said that, even when flying casually, you ought to have a purpose in mind, videoing, exploring, getting it back ie why is...

    No Drones Allowed - Can they say this?

    If there is not a “fly zone restriction” then flying is permissible! We all know that. The sign is amateurish at best and that’s that! Not wanting drones is one thing, having a flying restriction is another. However further investigation might be a ‘sensible’ thing to do . . .

    How quickly do you deploy your drone?

    So you’re not the example the OP would follow for a quick deploy and pack up 😉

    How quickly do you deploy your drone?

    OP - do it Within 1 or 2 minutes MAX! I’m a “bug in and bug out flyer” Fast, don’t hang around for nosy gits😂 Those who take care, do it slowly, check everything etc etc are doing so because they ‘want’ to NOT because you need to. To fly: ALL your prep is made before, practice at home, take...

    [Poll] The Homepoint has been updated, do you check it on the map?

    Always glance as it as it just confirms where it ‘thinks’ it’s going to come back to on RTH. Ignorance of warnings can lead to 🤬🤬🤬

    Keeping the propellers on

    Agree with all above who just leave them on - I can assure you that the springs are made of a material which is designed to do what it does in situ. You don’t relieve the spring tension on your car wheels and unless one (unusually) gets broken, they never lose their ‘spring ability’ either, so...

    If you only had one battery left...

    I would pre arrange for this to happen: I would set up an auto litchi program to take off from the place I was born, Whitby Yorkshire UK. (Take of controlled by a good friend) No RTH, cancel all possibility of any other auto control that would mess it up. Following my cremation (post natural...

    How Quiet Do You Think Your Drone is?

    Agreed, it’s all subjective and in relation to what you’re comparing the sound to. Even at 400’ I can hear my mini2 though I would describe it as quiet! If someone who didn’t know the drone was there, with normal hearing, they would also be able to hear it but they would be fairly unlikely to...

    Mini Darwen Tower, Lancashire UK

    You know - you’re right, 60 secs is long enough isn’t it? Nice shots, can I suggest ‘reveal’ shots too, eg ideas such as: Come in low very directly from a long distance and sweep up as you get close Go low down the hill behind something! and come straight up revealing the tower Come in focussed...
