    new firmware - battery gone bye bye

    Hi there, unfortunately the issue was a "power board failure" according to DJI themselves. Pity about the timing! But I imagine if repeated updates via assistant and firmware rollbacks don't work (like in my case) over multiple batteries then a support ticket is in order. My mavic was just in...

    Hello From Dublin, Ireland!!

    What's it like flying over there, are the guards relaxed about drone use? I was thinking of hitting powerscourt next time I'm home for the waterfall...

    UK Pilots - in the south

    Hi folks, another newbie here, based in Surrey (guildford way) Would be keen to shadow someone who knows what they are doing with this little machine! I've only taken it out twice, got plenty of dirty looks(tbf I'm still in beginner mode so it's flying pretty low loud and obvious...)
