I have made my own clamp using a sheet of Perspex and a small hinge. The tension is provided by a spring. It will take a mobile (my motorola g9 including the protect cover) up to my iPad air2 Also with the protection cover. Works really well.

It seems to be generated by commercial Survey Monkey. That was the window that opened on completion. I thought it was direct from CAA according to the logo.

Just popped up today for me. I ignored it, didn’t know if it was a scam.

My g power works great with my M1P not sure about other systems though.

I have also let one of my batteries run right down but luckily it did recharge after some time. However several times I have allowed a mobile lipo battery to run right down and could only get it to charge again if I gave it a boost voltage for a few minutes, about 30% higher than normal.

I also took off from my car roof once and it messed with the compass. I flew into a field and hovered, having taken my eyes off it while checking the RC I hadn’t noticed it was flying backwards with no input. I noticed this just before it ran backwards into a tall hedge. I stopped it within a...

I attach my address and phone number under the battery, plus reward info if found.

Glad to see the grass has hidden all that ugly gravel put down by the mineral tramways project.

Sorry to hear of the pro loss. I always aim to come back and land with around 50% charge. I also have my M1P covered in reflective tape. That way if I lose it, night time would be the best time to look for it with a bright torch.

The new number is much longer than my old one. It has to go on two lines on the label. It said something to do with the 2020 rule changes.

I’ve several times got a phone battery going again that would not charge because it had gone too low. I put a power supply on it for a few minutes at around 8 volts and it comes to life again. Then can be charged normally.

Re finding your drone in a tree or a bush. I put patches of reflective life jacket tape on my pro, this would make it easier to find at night than during the day. When the beam from a torch falls on it it will shine back at you. Not that I have had to try it yet but I know how the tape responds...

Was wondering the same myself. Apart from remote identification we can comply as for tripod setting it does give us the slow speed required for flying close to people. I fly an M1P.

It’s a no brainer, always open mine first. Anything which reduces stress and vibration on the motors and gimbal Is good.

My iPad and smart phone both use usbC so I leave the connection tail on the controller and fit a usb to type C adapter on to the charger usb. That way I always use the usb C via the tail to charge as it has no orientation problems.
