When he lost signal should have really switched out of rate mode to level the quad then punched up in the air to regain his VTX, looks like a signal loss due to a blocking object over range (camera comes back after he raises the height a bit). If VTX didn’t come back after a few seconds you...

In my opinion they very much do. First Mavic had 2 issues, decentred camera and 2 of the batteries had cosmetic issues - what looks like an oily residue (when the light hits it at a certain angle) that can't be cleaned. Replacement Mavic still has decentering issues, but milder than the first...

T Thanks for the tip - I've already uploaded to healthydrones by default & the batteries are new - it's just an unfortunate issue with the packaging. Annoying, but decals will cover it and not effect resale value. Just surprised I'm the only one seeing this as these batteries are transported...

That's actually a really good idea - I'll do that - thanks.

**** OCD :). But yeah, you're right. What I'd actually like to do is have a cup of tea and fly my new drone, but the weather here in the UK is pretty terrible today! I emailed Maplins to see what they say.

Very unlikely, also being able to take precautions assumes we know the cause, in which case the problem wouldn't exist. I've seen a few 'fly away' videos on youtube and it's mostly operator error. To give one example some guy smashed into the side of his building after taking off from the...

Took my P3 flying in early mist, came down with a fine coating moisture on it, after that the gimbal would randomly stop working. Managed to get it replaced as the drone was pretty new. Wouldn't recommend flying in any kind of moisture at all. As an aside I read DJI refresh has changed and now...
