    Casual - What do you do with your drone?

    I sit and look at it not flying, because I live in a highly built up area and obey the rules about not flying it near people or property.

    DJI goggles go black after about. 10 seconds

    Try connecting to Goggles to your computer and using the DJI Assistant to update the firmware. Also make sure the firmware on the drone and RC is up to date. Also see this: Goggles connected to Mavic Air goes black every few seconds

    Dji gogles

    Did you check the battery level of the Goggles before you went out to fly? The battery in the Goggles does not hold its charge long term so if you charge it and then leave them for a week or so they will no longer be at full charge.

    Dji goggles UBS connector splitter when using mavic air

    Because it's a digital connection sharing digital information, not an analogue source. In general you can't simply split a digital connection with a basic Y connector because often the contents of the digital connection is two way communications protocol requiring synchronisation between the two...

    I screwed up - however

    Indeed, every day is a school day. I had no idea it could even do this... super useful feature.

    MAVIC AIR DRONE CONTROLLER

    Picture needed better lighting so you could reduce ISO and therefore the overall noise level in your demonstration. Also, nice nails.

    Mavic Air controller cable

    Make sure you don't break the port on the side of the controller, getting it repaired is non-trivial

    Mavic Air Take Off Notice - HELP

    I can imagine that on a smaller screen rather than an up close screenshot that little blue radio button/checkbox is almost invisible

    UK insurance help

    I had refresh when I got my air, didn't use it. Seemed a reasonable deal for the amount of cover provided in comparison to the cost. Not really looked at any other form of insurance for them though.

    Mavic Air Master Airscrew Stealth Props Second Generation V2

    Minor shift in pitch, not actually sure they're quieter at least from my limited testing. UK customs fees stung a little though! Gotta stop making that mistake...

    Where can I get a replacement controller for a Mavic Air?

    Due to timescales I just ended up buying another drone. I did have a look on eBay and there were a couple in the UK but after chatting with the sellers I wasn't convinced either that it would arrive on time or at all! Same deal with other outlets like Facebook Marketplace, etc. I figured that...

    Propeller Guards

    I use them while flying in doors. Outdoors they add drag and can act like sails in sudden gusts of wind. That said if you're flying in close proximity of people or objects you care about, always use them.

    Compass calibration

    Same, the only time I've been prompted to re-calibrate the compass is when it's been in storage for a prolonged period of time or I am standing in an area that is interfering with the compass. My understanding of being repeatedly asked to re-calibrate is that you should preference diagnosing why...
