    DJI Smart Controller - hard shell case

    Anyone found or using a hard shell case for the new DJI controller? I need to travel with it and usually check it in my luggage in hardshell cases. How about a screen guard when the controller is in a bag?

    Flights from Turkey - update?

    Now with luggage restrictions in place for power sources not larger than 16x9x1.5, this means the MP battery would not be permitted. I am flying in August, has anyone experienced the return flight from Istanbul to London on BA yet and how thorough they search your suitcase for the batteries...

    Survived a collision - a lesson learned!

    I had a near miss last weekend with my Mavic Pro, with a tree! 1) Make sure RTH altitude is higher than the average tree. 30m wasn't enough. 2) Ensure you have smart RTH enabled, so the Mavic will attempt to retrace it routes (Edit: not factually correct - see my post reply below) 3) Ensure...
