My commercially-made landing mat (fold-out type) has a wire made of a ferrous metal. Works great, and never had any issues with compass or calibration. Just try it - I'm sure it'll be just fine.

Or as someone else suggested, pay via PayPal without opening an account. You don’t need an account to pay someone who has an account.

Just to correct the original post, which was the story in much of the press, there has been no award of damages or legal costs. The claim was settled out of court with the couple accepting 55,000 GBP. Their lawyers have also submitted a claim to Sussex Police for 145,000 GBP legal costs which...

You're fine as long as you are (1) in the USA and (2) you call it a "mission".

You need a drone's-eye view to search there!

In my view, anything to do with flying should never be "set and forget", even if it just demonstrates that you don't have situational awareness. You should always be checking the settings and adjusting according to your situation.

Let's face it, in most situations whereby you need to take avoiding action with a UAV, you will be dropping altitude rather than weaving all over the sky! In which case your heading is not of very much consequence. Have a good one yourself Mike. Steve

I guess hairs are indeed being split here. I still doubt that at 500m, let alone 900m, you can visually check the heading of the craft without reference to the controller's display which, by the letter of the ANO, you should surely be able to do? I have to say that I am quite happy that these...

Not really "just for commercial operations" though. The Drone Code says to fly within VLOS but does not define it. The Air Navigation Order (which applies to recreational as well as commercial flights) does not define it. CAP 722 is guidance issued by the CAA which gives the "official...

Unfortunately the Drone Code is not the law (similar to the UK Highway Code). Take a look at CAP 722 3.6.1 - page 47. Quote "Within the UK, VLOS operations are normally accepted out to a maximum distance of 500 metres horizontally from the remote pilot, but only if the aircraft can still be...

The C0 to C4 are classes of aircraft. No manufacturer has as yet produced or, as far as I am aware, even announced the release of any class-certified drone. I'm not even sure that the full specifications are finalized. It is interesting to note that, with the correct pilot certification a C2...

Indeed; as we already have in the UK of course.

The manual for the Pilot App is in the Mavic 2 Enterprise manual, it doesn't have a manual of its own.

Read through this one. . . . MSX mode does not display after Firmware upgrade.

Ah - just thought; are you using ios? If so, the latest firmware doesn't work properly. On Android (e.g. Smart Controller etc.) it looks like this. . . . So you can adjust how much of each camera feed is merged together. There have been other posts about this, and some kind of...
