    lost mavic in Leiwen, Mosel, Germany

    The obstacle sensors will treat the sun as an object when it is bright. So i imagine when your were flying towards the sun it was picking this up. In this case switching to sport would have been the best option as this turns off the crash sensors. Unlucky with your loss, hope you find it.

    Hi Jon, Time of day is your best friend, go early or late and there's rarely people. A lot of parks seem to be putting restrictions on drones. Most the time if i just want a flight or to test some settings i'll drive out towards the countryside and find a public footpath/bridle way. A short...

    In Flight, working compass encounters data exception,please switch to atti mode

    Thank you for your response. Looking at the map i believe roughly north. The orientation on the flight records is correct as it was facing off hill and upon launch was drifting backwards with the wind. I have only calibrated when i initially had it, It has never asked for it since and i...

    In Flight, working compass encounters data exception,please switch to atti mode

    Received this error whilst flying. Curious if some of the more knowledgable members on here could help me identify its cause. "In Flight, working compass encounters data exception,please switch to atti mode if craft behave abnormally" Good news is completed the flight with no problems, but if...

    My turn to lose mavic pro

    Relatively local to me, did you have any luck finding it? You've mentioned the bright sun, if that was behind you there's a chance the obstacle avoidance could have picked it up as it turned to return to home. Would explain the increase in distance if it was backing away from it.

    Editing drone footage in Premiere Pro

    if you are on about the small box whilst editing the quality will be awful, its scaled down and live rendered. Its not until you export it (you can then decide the output settings).

    Park here its free Google Maps Your at the base of the main ridge and the path up to the top. Then goes off in both directions. The millstones are off to the right. If you are a little adventurous theres a few caves and ledges you can climb down to on the face. If you go further up theres a...

    Crashed and went into sea water - Help please

    Sorry about your crash, I have no clue about the logs but there are some very good members on here that will look at them. But straight away I see only 4 satellites, the normal recommendation is at least 10 if not more. I also see no mention of home point being set, if this is the case theres a...

    Recorded Wind Speed

    A slightly windy and 0'c morning here in the UK. Went for a frozen walk up in the peak district and took the mavic. I'm still relatively new to the drone but have done lots of reading and all my flights have been in sensible places. This morning i was flying in a valley and all went well :)...

    New UK pilot.

    First move to DJI, previously built a 550 Hex (without GPS) but wanted something a little more travel friendly and intelligent flight modes. I was originally going to go with a Spark, but not having a 3 axis seemed a backwards move and amount of people that seemed to quickly progress to a Mavic...
