Hi all. I've just changed from a Mavic Air to a Mini 2 (lighter and easier carried for backpacking). I've only done 4 familiarization flights today totalling 16mins and about 2km but on looking at the Flight Data centre it says 20 flights, 2.84 hrs and 11.3km. Can anyone tell me where this might...

Have to agree! About a month ago I did something similar - early morning, a river near home, perfect conditions. Set up quickly, took off, hovered for about 20 secs then flew over the river. 3/4 of the way across I got a message on the screen "Braking - Return the joysticks to the central...

As a new pilot (very similar to adwaraki although I flew RC aircraft years ago) this thread has been an experience and revelation. The OP had taught me how not to fly, not to listen to others who know better and not to recognise your own failings, but instead to go against all perceived wisdom...

Bergumbira re your test - the effect of ocean/ vertical object not forming a right angle is common with any wide angle camera lens due to distortion caused by the wide angle of view, pincushion or barrel distortion. The horizon, (on an ocean) should appear level if the gimbal is doing its job...

Thanks all for the welcome. I'm looking forward to learning more from this forum - and in return passing on experience! No flying today, 50m visibility in fog and I don't have an IFR rating!!!

That's my predicament now - I do a lot of hillwalking and biking - so where first!!!

Hiya, I need a bit more practice before I head off! Slemish would be good but everything just looks flat when you're up on it. If you're coming up this direction have a look or Google "Robin Young's Hill" and "Sallagh Braes" both just behind Ballygalley on the coast. Two fantastic dramatic...

Deecee and Beachcoming, thanks again. Yes I hold my hands up, as I said I've flown RC aircraft a few years back and was just too anxious to get airborne again. I've done about an hour's flying yesterday in a big open field and thoroughly enjoyed it. Yes it's now done to tabletop flying to delve...

Hi John and Paul - I'm just northeast of Lough Neagh, out in the country but fairly flat so good for learning. All fields so today I learned the art of hand launching and catching! Already got help to sort an initial problem on here, great forum.

Hiya from N. Ireland. A history (years ago) of rc aircraft but now retirement means a new hobby. Just picked up the MP and had a few hiccups and some really enjoyable first flights in the clear frosty weather - some fingerless gloves are required!!!

Awwwww I'm a complete numpty!!! So many new controls and fear of changing something stupid I didn't try this one Beachcoming! DOH! Thank you all so much - it's frosty and blue skies so I'm off to log some flight time. Thank you all again for your patience and help Ian

Photo of the camera settings screen I get, no other options Ian

Hi, thanks for getting back to me. I searched but couldn't find any definitive answers to this particular problem. Sorry for not giving full details. They are as follows: Motorola Moto G3 phone and Nexus tablet both running Android v6.0.1 with the DJI GO4 app for drones since P4 version 4.1.22...

Hi, I've just taken delivery of my Mavic pro yesterday. I've updated the firmware and had a couple of trial flights BUT I have no options for setting up video, only photos. I've deleted and reinstalled the app and tried another tablet - both the same. I'm stuck in 4k and. mov settings. Can...
