    Audits

    I wholeheartedly agree with you, those self appointed so called Auditors are doing it for one reason only, subscriber numbers and “MONEY”. Respect for other people should always be foremost in whatever we do in life. Graham

    Mid air restart

    There are a few YT clips of a Mavic pro being restarted in midair but I haven’t seen any of an air2. Go to YT and type in Mavic pro restarted in mid air.

    Obstacle Avoid Icon

    I think it means that when your drone comes up to a tree or trees and you have the obstacle avoidance switched on you can select either your drone just braking and hovering or your drone bypassing the trees by going over them or around them. The third option is to turn the obstacle avoidance...

    Hello from Northern Ireland

    Hi B-Kane, I got my Mavic air2 about 5 weeks ago and have been getting to grips with learning to fly it and enjoying every nervy moment that I take off. I’m in Co. Antrim.

    Interesting first flight

    Yes, I saw that post too. If threatened by any bird, swallow, rook, or even a raptor. Just ascend ASAP and they will generally lose interest. If you try to descend and land they are more likely to attack as Buzzards, Hawks and Red Kites always attack their prey from above.

    New flyer from Cornwall

    Great Picture, especially with seagull zooming in. Did you take avoiding action? I used to launch my sailing dinghy that ramp in the foreground. That building in the foreground (top of roof showing) has been built since the 1970’s because our wooden sailing clubhouse was on that spot. I have...

    New flyer from Cornwall

    Hi Jezbot, Weather here still atrocious, so my MA2 still grounded. Thanks for your reply but the picture of Padstow was not attached. Can you try again. I would like to see it. Haven’t been down that way for quite a few years now.

    New flyer from Cornwall

    Hi Jezbot, like you I bought my MA2 a couple of weeks ago and it was my first drone too. Was getting quite a few flight hours in until a few days ago when bad weather moved in (strong winds and torrential rain) so all flights cancelled for the time being. I live in Co. Antrim, Northern Ireland...

    Newbie check-in.

    I’m sure it’s something that I did in pre flight set up that is to blame. Couldn’t fly today because of the high wind and next couple of days the forecast is rain so will have to wait for weather improvement.

    Thanks for all your replies. I was just trying to pull the card straight out but have now pushed it in first and it does pop out just enough to get hold of with my finger nails, one problem solved. As to the download problem, I set the video to hdr, 4K and 25fps, because I think I had seen a...

    Newbie check-in.

    Hi, I’m a complete novice and jumped straight in with a MA2. I have flown it 4-5 times now, and am gradually beginning to get over my nervy initial flight manoeuvres and really enjoying my new found hobby. I have a couple of questions to ask. The first is about the s d card. I find it really...
