I often visit the UK coast and always take the Mavic with me to try and get some great landscape footage etc. The one thing which happens time and time again is the within moments seagulls congregate and start dive-bombing the drone and I have to bring it in and land it before a collision...

Great reply, thank you!

Many thanks for this....Forgot to mention, Im in the UK, do these policies still apply?

Hi, I've recently set up a page offering drone photography services and have already received a number of inquiries. Before taking on any "paid" work I would want to make sure i am covered for any accidents/mishaps to persons, possessions or surrounding (heaven forbid) Does anyone else do this...

Thanks man, at least it rules that out. It may have just been a temporary glitch. I’ve read it’s a common issue. I’ve only flown about 12/12 times and without collisions so not down to damage.

Our Mavic's are limited to 400ft/121mtrs... I guess this is always gauged as the vertical distance away from the the controller/transmitter at the point of take off? Cheers

Many thanks! Had my maiden flight yesterday in basic mode (to be on the safe side) and packed it away unscathed at the end of the session :) Raining today so no flying. Off to China on business at the weekend and visiting a DJI store (possibly Hong Kong) for some spares, a case and another...
