    Too Hot to Fly... :(

    It's always cool to hear that people have a modest view towards drones. I live in the UK where the default answer is generally no. So I've adopted an 'ask for forgiveness' approach.... [emoji38]

    New drone retrieval method

    I had to hire a tree surgeon to retrieve mine. I foolishly didn’t take into account elevation!

    New Mavic combo, undecided what tablet to use - Ipad or samsung?

    As most have mentioned here and on the advice of a DJI technician/troubleshooter I will only use Apple devices with DJI. It’s far more stable to fly on iOS than Android. As someone who works closely with Samsung devices it’s a shame that this is the case but alas it’s a small sacrifice to ensure...

    bluetooth locator

    None to be honest but I was a bit put off with the fact that you have to be relatively close to the UAV to locate it, right? Why not consider one of those with a 4g sim imbedded?

    Using a splitter to charge iPhone connected to RC

    Ah, the proverbial ‘rock and a hard place’. Apple are the recommended devices to be used however I used a galaxy Note 8 without issue. One might argue that the more powerful the device the less chance you have of the device failing during mid-flight. The other option is to keep a dedicated...

    Obstruction Avoidance Problem

    Did the gimbal move by itself when you were experiencing this issue?

    Non-commercial use for my company

    I think the best way to look at it is that any ‘tool’ you use in the interest of the business becomes part of the business. I would presume it’s tax deductible so silver lining and all that....

    Mavic Pro Lost over dam

    A mainstream (supposedly) reputable company entering into the age old art of bartering sets off alarm bells. As above, why would they offer anything if they believe they have no case to answer????

    Mavic Pro Lost over dam

    A bit vague. I should have articulated the point more vigorously. When I lost control of the drone it flew for approximately 100’ whilst changing course around 30 degrees to the left. It then completes a 180 degree turn all whilst completely out of my control....

    Mavic Pro Lost over dam

    Something weird happened to me a few days ago. I struggled to calibrate the gimbal as I kept getting the motor overload message even though no gimbal lock was in place. That took about 10 mins to sort out. I then took off for a regular flight and something interesting happened on my return. It...
