    M4P lost connection and felt out of the sky

    That’s the worst nightmare, did you retrieve it ? Did controller tell you where it was? And let us know what happens

    3rd flight, a couple of questions

    20kph isnt too bad at all I think. 20MPH now thats a bit winder.

    Nice one murph, Dave did nailed it (every time he comes home, he's nailed it TBH) What was the wind and the gusts according to the apps where you were?

    I see the logs on the rc2 now and replay them, very cool. I can see I went to 29m high.

    Thanks Pud, I shall try that out. Replaying the fight?? wow, is that a thing? I will look. Yes Murph, similar situation and fear level 🤣, 80m I might be that brave today, as we have very low winds too, but it's raining right now, plan to go out later hopefully.

    Hope you dont mind another post. Got out at 7pm to a quiet spot, landing pad was very handy and worked well. RTH worked nicely and I could correct it a bit or abort it. Actually used more than one battery for the first time. Only went up about 20-25 meters and that seemed really high :eek: Wind...

    Wind.....it's always windy?, and landing pad

    Does the Controller tell you the wind speed the drone is dealing with?

    Stick Mode

    Was going to post about this but see this post already. Being very new to drones (but not to using controllers) I just left it as it was, mode 2 I think. But being a regular FPS console gamer, Mode 2 was the opposite way round on the on rc2. Today ive swapped to mode 3, I think this best mimics...

    First flight at last...mini 4 pro

    Hi Guys, Nice to get my first flight done, went out 6am to a local rural playing field. It was a bit windy 33ft 16mph with gusts at 30mph so I didnt take it above 15 ft just to play with the controls, land and all that. Bit of feedback and maybe a question or two (all relative to having never...

    All the gear and no idea.... guess what I missed?

    It is a charger but you still need a wall plug USB-C

    All the gear and no idea.... guess what I missed?

    Thanks guys, checked the bottom of the 61w charger and it read a few other wattages inc 27w, so plugged it in and I didnt blow up, thats always a good start. Doing one battery at a time in the drone for the first charge, as I saw that was a good idea on a video, incase they are in dormant mode...

    I do have a USB-C charger actually for my laptop, but that says 61w I think, and I dont want to damage the drone already.
