    Mavic Pro lost signal and went for a swim

    Sadly I have to report that I lost my DJI Mavic Pro drone into the sea! I'd flown north successfully earlier and got some lovely video of Risso's dolphins, then returned the drone to change its battery. The second time I flew to the south, well within limits at approx 50m above the sea and to...

    Updating firmware and software

    I was wondering about reverting to a previous version of the software due to the problem described below but now I am not too sure as I want to stay within the law. I have described the problem elsewhere: even though I have been flying this Mavic Pro for 14 months, the DJI software has only ever...

    Flight records not showing all flights

    I've spent silly amounts of time trying to sync flights, I've even tried an iPad instead of my iPhone and a different MacBook carefully following Heliguy's advice but no, only those first three flights that I did in 2020 are showing. The Airdata app is only showing those first three flights...

    Glasgow no fly zone

    It’s a good job that I didn’t bring my drone, I’m here as a volunteer for COP26

    Advice needed re mapping software for Mavic Pro

    I have had a couple of really productive calls with people from Dronedeploy. As the proposed mapping project is to be done by a registered charity it means we can benefit from their nonprofit programme and stay with our grant budget ?

    Advice needed re mapping software for Mavic Pro

    Thank you, yes we are checking out the legalities (hubby is a legal academic so I DAREN'T do it wrong!) A funder is willing to support this, hurray and we will get stuck in just as soon as we can, weather permitting in this wild corner of Britain :)

    Advice needed re mapping software for Mavic Pro

    Hello, I am Chair of a charity that does much more than beach cleans in a relatively remote part of Scotland, and we are wanting to use our drones - I and another of the trustees each have a DJI Mavic Pro to map the shores around our islands so we can work out where to focus our limited...

    Flight records not showing all flights

    I'm having the same problem. I got a secondhand Mavic Pro last year, and synced the first three flights ok. Since then I've done at least 15 more flights and none of them will sync, it still shows only the first 3 on the app. What am I doing wrong?

    Hi from the UK (North Lincs area)

    I was brought up just outside Scunny, now live near an airport on a Scottish island. Happy flying ?

    I HATE DJI ASSISTANT 2!!!!!!

    If its any consolation, Assistant is a brute on my trusty old Mac laptop and won't download more recent flights - no I haven't flown since we went to tier 4

    Female droners

    I've been flying drones for nearly a year, have a Mavic Pro and have been trying to get some decent images of whales and dolphins - I live in the Hebrides where it is great for seeing these amazing cretures. I too am disappointed when some of the contributors to this forum regard it as a boy's...

    Thinking about getting first drone but nervous about a few things

    I felt like you a year ago so arranged with a professional drone trainer to have a taster morning. I’m so glad I did! He brought 3 different drones of various sizes and I discovered that I got the hang of it immediately. It was incredibly useful for actually fly them rather than reading or...
