    Pro vs Platinum

    I fly a MPP. My friend recently got a MP and we flew at the same time a few weeks ago. For me there is not enough difference in the two models to justify the price increase. Had i not got such a good deal on my MPP, i think i would have been a bit let down.

    Many Tall Buildings - signal reflectance? best results question

    For me signal lose isn't the biggest issue, it would be compass interference from all the steel. My concern might be unfounded and the bigger problem is, if my concern is correct, that i don't know how you get around it. Good luck.

    Yellow flashing tail light

    UK purchase

    Am i right in thinking that refresh doesn't cover against what would be a warranty repair, rather only replaces it if it crashes?

    West Midlands Flying areas

    I live in Essington and we are lucky enough to have quiet a lot of farmers fields around us and i make use of them. When the weather picks up i will be making a day of going over Cannock Chase.

    Disconnected, but not?

    I will try a new cable then before moving to my old note 4, as this would mean a cable change as well, as i move from USB C to standard micro USB. Can anyone recommend a short USB C cable for me please? I don't fancy using the charger one as its a good meter long.

    Had An Interesting Flight Today

    This was my post and its frighteningly similar. First flight issues As i said though, that MPP whilst returned is flying very well now. I would have loved to have been brave enough to have restarted the controller, but i was in a blind panic (as you will read above). Good luck and keep is...

    Had An Interesting Flight Today

    Yes, but why wouldn't it reconnect when it came back to you? I ask this as i have had something similar on the first MPP i brought, which is now returned for this very issue. My new MPP only yesterday has a disconnect issue that i am still trying to work out what happened on. The returned MPP...

    Disconnected, but not?

    I was using the supplied black side cable. If the cable was the problem, why would it be ok on a restart? I'm not saying it isnt, just curious.... I'm happy to try anything to avoid it happening again though. I also have an old Note 4 that has no cellular data on it now that i could use...

    Disconnected, but not?

    Hi, Third flight on my MPP today. Flew where I had flown my P3S loads of times without issue. My MPP is all updated and I use a S8+. Right at the end of my flight with the bird about 3m away from me, nose out at 4m height, the app claimed it was disconnected. I manually landed, as I still...

    Replacement Mavic Special Needs

    I didn't manage to fly due to the weather (always the way with new toys). I did the IMU calibration no problem and noted that the compass needed calibration too. This isnt that surprising as i was in the house. However only one of the compass modules was unhappy. Is that normal please?
