    If you waited until July 18th to buy your 1st drone...

    If I was you I'd get a mavic. No need to get the latest greatest but the mavic is just right not too advanced and not too much of a toy. Easy to learn. You are not going to crash it on a farm. Get yourself a surveying app and start monitoring your plant health using Fake - NDVI. I recommend...

    Magnetic Interference - no GPS no ATTI no OPTI- work arounds

    Excellent! Thanks. I was considering lowering on a pulley or similar but a bit of a ball ache to justify setting up [emoji109][emoji106]thanks again. Next attempt on Sunday...

    Magnetic Interference - no GPS no ATTI no OPTI- work arounds

    Thanks that's good news. I should point out this is not a paid job. Its a cinematic / artistic experiment of my own volition. As I have access to the site and have an idea in mind which I believe will be effective I'm prepared to take a calculated risk. I'm confident even in Atti mode I won't...

    Mavic Pro "Aircraft Disconnected" won't connect at all

    Also you might need to delete other apps on your device. If you are using any mapping apps that hijack control from your dji go (or other). For instance I had a big battle with Pix4d refusing to allow any other app access to my mavic. I had to delete thier pix4d+ dji controller to use the go app...

    Magnetic Interference - no GPS no ATTI no OPTI- work arounds

    Thank you both! OK I'll try and force atti by modifying firmware (I've seen a tutorial somewhere). But please do you know if that will solve the issue of the altitude ceiling at 30ft? Thank you

    Magnetic Interference - no GPS no ATTI no OPTI- work arounds

    Thank you so much for replying. I've really been at a loss with this one. Some issues however.. As soon as the mavic connects it pretty much engages ATTI mode. When in ATTI it caps the altitude at 30ft which is a real problem as I need to fly the 13 stories internally. Any way I can overcome...

    Magnetic Interference - no GPS no ATTI no OPTI- work arounds

    I'm trying to get a shot in a magnetic hotspot - an abandoned building made up of steel and concrete with two large 13 story voids as its central features. These voids rise from the mezzanine up towards an open skylight. The idea for my shoot is to fly up the 13 floors looking down and then...
