I'm now wishing I had just opened the leg up and sorted whatever the problem was myself. The drone has been stuck at UPS in the Netherlands for the past few weeks and DJI refuse to do anything about it. I've had the thing for over a month had have so far only managed to fly it for about 3 hours...

It was a brand new FPV.

Reported him to the police last night, they popped round this morning for the screenshots I'd taken on the way to see him. Interestingly told me that they'd spoken to the aviation office who had told them that atm with the new laws things were a bit all over the place. They took it less...

I did think of that, however I know from my own flying how certain features look at 120m up and the photos he is posting are definitely a lot higher up than that.

You can see how we get to the point of having greater restrictions and licenses etc when people do this sort of thing...

No it's all flat around where he's flying. Rang 101,as he's a well-known member of the local community and it's a bad example, especially as he says he's doing it again tomorrow.

Flying within 50m of residential areas is.

He states he's done the online tests so does know what he's doing. And then goes on to offer to fly over people's houses in the town to take photos!

Evening all, someone local to me has been posting photos on a local FB page of the area taken with his new DJI FPV, stating that the photos are taken from 500m up. Now if he chooses to break the law in this way that's up to him, although that is a lot higher than the upper limit and does seem to...

Having massive issues trying to get DJI to sort a replacement. I've spoken to at least 7 different people and either not got any follow up or, when I finally get a case opened it is repeatedly about a repair not a replacement. The woman I spoke to today kept saying it has to be within 15 days to...

That's what I'm saying. So people just generally gauge the height as they go along. Cherrs That makes sense, thanks! I'll keep all that in mind.

That's what I'm saying. So people just generally gauge the height as they go along. Cheers

It only gives the reading from the original point. So if I fly up a hill it will still read 120 even though it is a lot lower down I'm relation to the hill. I'll look on settings to see if I can change it.

Evening all, I've set the max altitude on the Fly app to 120m as is legal in the UK however I've got the issue that it obviously takes that reading from where it starts and not where the drone us currently located. As a result if I start off from a vantage point I have to drop it down to what I...

Good point I could check if it was plastic or metal with a magnet. Yeah weirdly as I say I bought it from the DJI UK website however they must have had no stock in the UK as it came from China with no import charges. I can't see how they can charge me anything extra since it's a warranty...
