    MM submerged

    Yes fair point - but in a pinch - they all work, and rice DID work (I don't have a cat).

    MM submerged

    Suppose it depends on the turnaround speed you want. I was in no rush so just left it there for an age. Wasn't quick! But rice IS super absorbent! Yes though, am sure there are other ways - and equally, silica gel is massively more absorbent than rice. It's just that, rice is something most...

    MM submerged

    I don't believe rice is useless. Saying that as someone who dropped an earlier version iPhone in a sink of water to the point you could pour water out of it - totally dead, bubbles in the screen. Patience is all it took - 4 weeks totally submerged in fresh dry rice in a sealed container. Worked...

    Which one is the correct NFZ map of these two about UK?

    Because they, rightly, assume that if you are in the UK you already know how to apply the UK drone legislation of 150m away from buildings and flying over built up areas. That's a given.. The NATS app is designed to tell you about other restrctions within countryside areas which might not be...

    Bypass ground sensors on Mavic Mini

    There were no kids in the park in the video! Panic not! But i am also now wondering if, with the distance only being 50cm, whether it's more a trck of the camera angle. You can tell the drone is going over a rail or ledge, but you can't judge how big the distance is - maybe the sensors were on...

    Bypass ground sensors on Mavic Mini

    I was hoping I wasn't asked that! I have watched SO many videos in advance of the purchase, I simply can't remember - there were a couple of different review videos that had shots taken like that half way through - showing the drone flying out of the back of a house into a covered yard kind of...

    Fly More Battery advice

    Thanks - i'm over thinking this I suppose.. but - for example, last year we had a lot of work done in the house and the last drone went into storage for half the year. Just worried about missing a window to check them - but I suppose that is what calendars are for..

    Fly More Battery advice

    Yes - saw that in the manual - but of course begs the question of my old brain and memory!. So imagine I leave them - the are ok on their own.. for a while. Presumably there is still natural drain though ? Not trying to be deliberately obstructive here, but.. What if they were left for 6...

    Fly More Battery advice

    Hi - sorry newbie and didn't find a defnitive answer on the search for this (or, at least, conflicting answers). What's the consensus on battery storage between flights for three batts on in the two way charger. - Leave them plugged in to top them topped up at all times? - Top up occasionally...

    Hmm - saw your second reply - that's really odd.

    Cache Maps properly DJI GoFly app

    Ah right - suspect we are getting closer! I should have said - when I panned around I kind of pinch zoomed in and out . I suspect Google has different tiles for different scales - maybe mine picked them all up. Just tried it with the MM connected and they are still all there - maps at all...

    Cache Maps properly DJI GoFly app

    Airbeaver - think I have something you could try on your iPad - fire up the Google Maps app. Make sure you are signed in the a Google account. Go to your settings (your user icon top right). There is an option in there called 'Offline Maps'. In there hit the gear icon to go to more settings on...
