    Battery in Drone or not.

    Always best practice to remove after flight and during storage then keep inside a fire/explosion proof pouch. These fit in the Flymore kit bags neatly. The smart batteries generally discharge to around 67% after 5 days then reduce thereafter. If storing for a long time 20-30% works well for me...

    FLYAWAY, CRASH AND SURPRISE RECOVERY

    Great you retrieved it. It's nice to be nice, drop them in a couple crates of juice or nice cold water along with a few tubs of chocolates.

    Frozen App. Drone Down. What Should I Have Done?

    I too have had the App crash on android but always had VLOS. The App freezes and screen goes black. Reset of the phone occasionally worked although the screen froze displaying zero height, zero speed and no location. This occurred on both the Mini 2 and the Air 2 so something is going on and...

    Bird judders after stopping in cinematic mode

    Looks like the sensor is picking up an obstacle, i have had similar with the Mavic Air 2. Try it in the open away from obstacles and post the outcome.

    Bird Attacks in the UK

    Yes, As you say during mating season is worse. Fly high at speed upwards and away until they relax then bring home away from the area if possible. Some nice bird shots though but best to stay clear.

    First long range test mini 2

    I hope you are having fun flying, its why we all do it. There are many factors that can affect flight and quality of reception, GPS, height, line of sight, electrical interference and of course trees. I have seen many try flight distance tests and push things to the limit but I'm sure you...

    Mavic Air 3 weight and classification

    Morning all, Has anyone heard rumours or anything related to potential weight change on the Mavic Air 3 (the Air 3 may not even be in development). It would be great if it could be classed under the C1 rule and have a weight of under 499g. There are so many confusing statements out there...

    Mini 1 or Mini 2 For First Drone

    You will absolutely love it, great images and videos but abide by the regulations. Bear in mind the prop guards while flying, it will not necessary show up on the app but will have more of an effect when windy although the additional power will help. You have various modes, normal, photo...

    Mini 1 or Mini 2 For First Drone

    Definitely the Mini 2, lots of improvements including 4K video, most importantly it has Ocusync for better wifi stability. More power and if possible buy the combo with 3 batteries and other kit. You must have the ability to install the app otherwise your wadting your time. If your new to...

    Mini Remote has no charging port??

    It is deceiving, only one micro cable can be connected at the side so it's either charge the controller or use the data cable to phone. You must be carful on which way to plug in the USB cable, the diagram next to the port shows this. Do not try to reverse the cable as it can damage and loosen...

    First time buyer! Present for partner

    Great choice. Use in an open space to get used to controls first of all. Confidence will grow the more its used, read about drone regulations and as its under 250g registering is not compulsory. It will be good to register and show the regs and rules are known. Good luck.

    First time buyer! Present for partner

    Hi, I would say stay with the Mini 2 rather than the Mini. Pay a little extra for the mini 2 for better WiFi (Ocusync) and more reliable and stable drone. Buy the Combo as it will give approx just under 1.5 hrs flying when changing batteries and you can charge via car charger while waiting our...
