Thanks Bumper, genuine battery arrived, charged it up and the Bird fired up no problem. Kudos mate for encouraging me to just go with buying the new battery.

No, battery wouldnt even power drone on.

Careful some guys in Argentina flew their Mavic's too close to the pylons, it didnt end well.......

I'snt it to tie in with line of sight, the theory being that at 400ft most birds could/would be hard to spot (cant tell by experience as mine only got the 2ft test flight before she went away).

400ft from pilots altitude of flying IIRC.

Hi Old Man (Sorry I feel rude calling you that). I could buy another battery but cheapest I have found are 80 from drones direct. RC takes charge. Seems odd that this battery has 4 LEDS and did POST before I put the now known dodgy battery in it.

Hello all I have got my Pro out to fly for the first time in over a year, now I understand that the batteries can be troublesome but one appeared to fully charge - drone POST all ok and was connect and able to update. I then tried one of the other batteries in it that did not appear to have a...

Knowing us in the UK you will probably find that English Heritage who "run" Stonehenge are allowed to class it as a building. Interestingly for overseas visitors, Stonehenge is owned by the Crown (possibly the Crown Estates) (HRH Queen Lizzie), managed by English Heritage. The land surrounding...

Maybe it's me that needs googly eyes, not the drone.:oops:
