    Members YouTube channel's ( ONLY POST LINK NOTHING ELSE - NO Replies)

    This is my YouTube Channel, mostly fishing related stuff but in the non fishing section there are fly bys of a few well known castles and Scottish landmarks and some of my fishing videos since April have drone footage in them Kenneth Halley

    "Commercial Operations"- is this legal? (UK)

    Hi I am looking for a bit guidance just so I stay on the right side of the law. I was invited on a fishing trip recently by a friend, who runs a company that takes anglers on fishing trips here in Scotland. I got a spare bed in the accommodation he had hired and other than the free bed, paid my...

    It's no doubt been said to death but...

    I initially looked at the Huawei think it was the M3 but the non Lite version seems very hard to get here. Samsung too, getting one high enough spec at reasonable cost was hard. I did look at both

    Mavic Air makes a really nice handheld gimbal.

    I have seen handles for sale to use the MA as a gimbal mounted camera, removing the props as a precaution. Only thing that worried me was the MA was designed primarily to fly and by consequence it has fairly brisk airflow while in the air which helps keep it cool. In a hand held mode it is...

    It's no doubt been said to death but...

    I initially flew my MA with a Sony Xperia Z5 and it was fine, the phone had a big screen and it run djiGo4 perfectly. I then got new Sony Xperia XZ2 as an upgrade It too runs the app just fine but has a slightly smaller screen so I decided to keep the Z5 for drone use and little else. Then...

    Firmware v01.04.0400? Issues?

    Just to update. I did a full refresh of MA and R/C firmware on Saturday morning. I notice that DJI Assistant stated the firmware on the R/C was at the default version which is odd because I know I had previously updated it to the latest version ( it was actually released before I even bought the...

    Flew 830 ft over water and lost signal! Help me figure it out please

    I had something similar last week. I flew my MA over a river and was only about 90metres away so perfectly visible, when suddenly and with no intermittency first, I lost the video feed and received the Lost Signal warning. What was odd was the drone did not immediately RTH though I had plenty of...

    Beginner needs help please

    If you know you will be flying where there is no signal make sure you look at the location in the CAA Drone Assist App before you go to location and confirm there are no restrictions or hazards you need to be aware of and ideally log a flight plan, if for nothing else than to be a responsible...

    Firmware v01.04.0400? Issues?

    Had some very odd problems with my Mavic Air this evening. I was out in a fairly rural location and turned everything on, no issues, took off and flew out over the river around 90metres from where I was standing and got Signal Lost. I could see the drone right in front of me. I waited thinking...

    Mavic Pro boring for me once I learned I can't fly out of LOS

    I was literally flying on the top of some very big trees that surrounded the property. It was in the middle of what I think was a small forest of a very large wood. I was clearing the trees really by just enough to get a shot of the house. Hence also the reason seeing something coming was...

    Mavic Pro boring for me once I learned I can't fly out of LOS

    I can hear a chopper in the air 3+ miles out so I don't get what is the big deal about flying my drone 0.2 miles away. As soon as I heard a helicopter I would go low, sport mode back to land. Hopefully someday the drone tech can exist to detect and alert of other vehicles near the same airspace...

    Incredibly hard finding places to fly in USA

    A week into our US Road trip and I hoped to have flown the drone a few times and got some decent footage. But finding somewhere that you are allowed to fly seems almost impossible. I got the B4UFly app before coming and nearly everywhere seems to be within 5 miles of an airport. The definition...

    Stop button no longer works so cannot exit Tripod mode?

    Encountered this wee gremlin tonight for the first time. I like Tripod Mode, it slows things down to a speed that you can concentrate on filming but tonight try as I might I could not get it to exit. Wasn't a huge deal but for the wind suddenly got up a wee bit as the sunset and it felt like the...

    The Mavic Air and Fly Fishing New Zealand...

    Excellent- right up my street that is. Just hope my fishing videos come out half as good when I take the Air along with me. Thanks for sharing.

    What I have learned in my first few weeks

    Well, I have had my Mavic Air about a month all in now, and doing my best to get out with it at every opportunity. Unfortunately with the weather over the last few weeks that's not actually that much.(About 2 and a half hours total flying time) Nonetheless I have learned a few things. My...
