Thanks for this. It must have taken considerable effort.

Be sure to take proper protective equipment. Oilseed rape pollen is just organic CS gas!

Further to msinger's response, the Mavic Pro controller uses Occusync v1 in the 2.4 GHz band, the Mavic 2s use Occusync V2 with both the 2.5Ghz and 5.8Ghz bands.

Lovely colours. I particularly liked the rainbow effect from the irrigation sprayer. The only negative thing I would mention is the drone shadow in the bottom left on the low-flying scene at about 2:20 in.

Are you getting the use of the full 256Gb? The manual (v2.0) claims support up to 128Gb only. What happens if you try to record the 129th Gb of video? As you are going to need to change batteries more frequently than cards, already, I would probably go for smaller cards, which makes getting...

Was that a home-made or a commercial purchase?

Oh, and welcome to the forums.

If you are not using an iPhone in the standard position, you have to remove the (Lightning ended) cable at the top-left corner of the controller from the controller. Weird but true. Your kit should have come with replacement cables (micro-USB and USB-C) if you want to use another sort of phone...

There are two sorts of logs - the text logs on the phone (so those are gone) but there are also .dat files recorded on the mavic internal memory rather than on the SD card. Somebody who knows better than me posted this link to help?

Connect in from your computer using the Micro USB port (the one on the opposite side of the Pro to the microSD card slot)? You should be able to see the internal memory as a removable disk?

V1.8, dated 24 Jan 19 is all that is currently available in the UK section (which I get forced to, unfortunately.)

However, there didn't appear to be any update to the battery firmware so that was okay.

Oh, bugger. At least I knew before heading out. Unpack the luggage, restart the drone, update drone and all three batteries ... Edited to add: and a large "fly safe" update as well, here in the UK at least.

Clearly not maintaining VLOS ;)

And the pictures were quite impressive - if rather sad.
