hire a small boat and get closer, then you'll have way less stress and worry and still have VLOS

I tend to keep the ND filter on when switching between video and photogrphy, because I don't want to land just to take off the filter and then fly back to the same spot. You'll just be shooting at a lower shutter speed, which isn't an issue unless there are high winds, as these drones are very...

Yes mainly used to slow the shutter speed when doing video (shutter speed twice the frame rate as a guide), so not really needed for photography unless you need to slow the shutter speed for moving water etc. No issue with keeping them on. I now use a variable density ND filter, to save keep...

make your own with a piece of cardboard if you just want to stop things touching it

errr not even close - Ag Operations, Line Inspections the list goes on. Plus the 500' rule is a distance not a height - as long as the powered aircraft is 500' away from any person, vehicle or structure they are within the law, meaning in sparely populated areas fixed wing aircraft and...

so DJI oh dear --- got on the phone on Monday and the guy went through a canned list of obvious stuff - I detailed exactly what was happening and what I'd done, including all the things on his list. They then sent me an email with exactly the same steps he'd read out to me, with a statement...

for sure -- they're closed all weekend so Monday it is

the batteries are fully charged and not still in hibernation. The error is a "not installed correctly" error, which points to the way they're seated with the contacts. I can warp the drone slightly near the battery and the error goes away.
