Further to my post above, I think we need to recognise there are 2 distinct issues in a case of this kind: 1. Is the flight itself lawful? Does it comply with the laws which control the operation of UAVs? 2. Is the purpose of the flight lawful? A flight might be conducted in full compliance...

Interesting discussion which reminds me a little of my former professional life as director of property in a large business. Property disputes were a constant feature of my life for many years. I am in the UK but that doesn't really make any difference. If I were asked to do something which...

In my professional career I encountered many people who quoted "The Law" and tried to tell me what to do. Fortunately my degree course included a very good grounding in legal studies so even when I was dealing with something new to me I could always find my way around the statute, common, and...

Will Starlink affect timelapse astrophotography?

I bought our drone so we could take pictures of the boat, and not just from the boat.

I have a Mini, bought this year, never used yet. Long story. When my Phantom 3 became an obsolete product I quickly found that genuine DJI spares were unavailable. Please can an experienced Mini pilot suggest what spares I should buy now while still available. Props obviously I suppose.

Thanks. I have now managed to get the Fly app installed from the DJI site. In case anyone else finds this thread in a search I have Android 10 on a Samsung A21s (which is 64-bit even though Samsung's own website doesn't tell you this in the specs) and I found the procedure to install an APK is...

Are you flying with an Apple or an Android device? Your plan wouldn't work for me because I fly with Android and I need the Mini Controller to be fully charged because the Android sucks power out of it (if I understand all the other threads correctly). I'm the same as the OP, Raymwakce. I just...

I just sold my Phantom 3 Advanced and bought a Mavic Mini (not the M2). Am I right, I should be trying to download the DJI Fly app, NOT the DJI GO app? At the moment I can't get either of them to load on to my phone (Samsung A21s) but I'll get there in the end, just don't want to waste time...
