Hi @Mick Tonks, I also fly in Temple Newsam. I'm not sure how well you know the area but there's rougher parts to it than others. When I fly there I like to be out of sight from anybody else, get the drone in the air and zip it in sports mode at least a few hundred meters away from me over the...

I think I could have written that up better - I wasn't suggesting driving a car while flying (that would be bonkers!), I would be a passenger in a car that was following

Hi @Montec, I had a similar problem the other day where I had powered down the drone without ending the video. The unfinalised video files can be repaired using a application called recover_mp4 recover_mp4 1.92 Free / 3.0 Premium Service Free Download - VideoHelp I won't explain how it works...

Thanks PhiliusFoggg, will keep that in mind and will let you know the results (or which tree it parks in)

Thanks everyone for the fast replies. I agree, it is a bad idea. I guess I'm a bit excited by this new (to me) technology You can update the homepoint to a position on a map. Here's a link to a video to demonstrate that feature I'll have to give it a test on the disused golf course tonight...

Hello, I am a owner of a Mavic Mini. A friend of mine lives a about 4 miles away from where I live, however there's a small hill between us, where I lose signal to the drone, preventing me from landing at his house. It occurred to me that I might be able to use the return to home feature to...
