I bought the same Yx USB power bank off eBay probably 6 months ago and have had no problems with it. The main thing to watch is that the charging IN port (mains) is the same size as the port that the cords plug in that charge the batteries! As long as your aware of that and double check before...

Sorry for your loss and many thanks for sharing so we can all learn - this has become a great thread! I read previously in these forums about checking compass direction in the app is correct and have noticed mine 180° out 2 times in about 50 flights using the previous firmware (4 I think) with...

And a wizard who can make waves and cars go backward! :D

Sorry, EDIT: Here's the only video I watched, probably best explains it: DaVinci Resolve VFX / Transition Tutorials - YouTube Below shows my timeline to give you an idea of dissolve - drag the white sliders in edit. To get scrolling text: Toolbox/ Titles/ Scroll You can also see my export...

Thank for the feedback and normally I'd agree :) I nearly cut it but I thought it flowed and changed enough to keep it interesting. Music is royalty free from www.bensound.com, they seem to have a good selection.

I've been flying lots but here is a short video from just two, mist rolling thought the trees at Knoplofty and some coastal scenes south of Blackmans Bay. Enjoy - and subscribe to my YouTube channel :)

No problem. Here's my first crack at using Resolve so you can see what the free version is capable of - I still have much to learn :)

I was using Adobe Premier Pro but last video I tried the free DaVinci Resolve 15 and loved it! More intuitive and better workflow. Below is my research from other posts here - theres a link to a good tutorial of Resolve, watch it first to see if its for you :) Free video editor: Media Composer...

Nicely compiled, short changing clips kept me interested and watching, well done.

Instead of connecting to the drone, perhaps you could remove the mSD card from the Drone and pop it in your phone or a tablet/laptop to sift through & delete the images? From my understanding it's faster to copy direct from the card and less chance of corruption. You can also be charging your...

You are more likely to outgrow the Spark fairly quickly and regret that you didn't go for the Air. Some big box stores may have a lease option to consider. I went against my usual instincts of buying outright and leased mine - paying around $20AU/week - an extra $300 per year .. but it is...

One not mentioned: For practice, remove props, connect drone, controller & phone. In the go4 splash screen open the top right menu, select "Academy" and "Simulator". The sim controls are very close to real flying and it lets you explore most of the go4 app to practice and experiment safely. You...

Buy yourself a cheap small drone to practice with - something without gps and you can fly/practice indoors. It will be harder to fly than the Mavic, give you good stick time and won't matter so much if you come unstuck :) I've been flying since 2014 and still get nervous every flight. It's often...

I think the people saying that Mavics aren't for pro use are just trying to justify to themselves their purchase of a big expensive drone! Or they don't know how to get the best out of the Mavic. Sure there's better $$$$ gear out there, but the best camera is the one you have with you. I have...

Welcome, I'm new to the Air too. There is an initial update for everything and if you have more than one battery, each of those will update once too, then you should be good to go!! Have fun, stay safe :)
