    Drone Labelling.

    There seems to be some confusion about label placement, due to different rules/different countries. I have MA2 and inside the battery compartment on the drone is perfectly fine. UK- Your operator ID must be: visible from the outside, or within a compartment that can easily be accessed without...

    I fly a drone, ergo i must be up to no good...

    Took drone with me when we went to a nearby small loch in a designated country park with the kayak. The loch is used a lot for recreation, small sailing club and lots of kids being taught water activities and water safety, as well as lots of folk just out a walk to feed the ducks n swans. The...

    Recharging drone battery burns down (ahem!) a Fire Station

    My thoughts as well, wouldn't the heat build-up from enclosing the charging batteries be more likely to cause an issue, rather than the recognised, but extremely unlikely, chance of battery faults causing a fire?

    How is your Litchi?

    Hey all, was looking at trying Litchi for my MA2. Looking at it was as far as I got, the reviews on play store just now seem pretty poor. As usual, I'm aware more people will go on to leave a poor review when some problem comes up, rather than have no problems and go on to leave a good review...

    Dawn of a New Era for the AIR 2 - How we fly ! ---- AIR / WATER

    Surely I can't be the only user on here who thinks the price of this package is ridiculously high? For a few blocks of floaty stuff and some sticky neoprene it's a lot of money. I'm sure if they were more reasonably priced the amount of sales would increase greatly.... And before you jump in to...

    I love my case.

    Yup, mine does the job but absolutely agree it looks so much better with the "shaped" cutouts. However, that's a discussion I could never win with my superior half!

    I love my case.

    I know our drones aren't cheap and need protected but that's a bit steep on the cases. I bought this from Amazon, the larger size holds all my MA2 fly more combo plus the prop guards, the smaller size easily takes the drone, controller, batteries, filters and spare props. Loads of foam for...

    Simulator for Mavic air 2

    Hiya, yeah I've tried uninstalling both assistant and simulator, cleared everything then installed again from scratch but still no joy. Quite frustrating as I can get into the program using keyboard but when I go into flight it wants to use the controller to start up the rotors as it does in...

    Insurance

    Hi all, looking through some of the insurance options but quite a few seem to be public liability cover only. I took the DJI refresh but this doesnt cover flyaways/unrecoverable drone situations. no messed up drone=no replacement from DJI. so looking for any recommendations that include actual...

    So now I’m grounded!

    Wasn't too convinced myself about how bad this virus nonsense was and why we were killing businesses large and small. Soon woke up when I was on hands n knees coughing so bad I couldn't breathe and when the ambulance came calling trying to take me to hospital, I refused (terrified about going in...

    Anyone using an amazon fire HD 7 with MA2?

    Hi all, these are on sale with PRIME day for 30 quid, does anyone know if they work well with the MA2? my SamsungA5 works fine but screen quite small. Ive tried an Honor (i think its called), which did connect and is slightly bigger bit was quite laggy, sort of expected as its a cheapo.
