    A propeller won't start at times

    Well well well, as you can imagine I'm a lazy guy and endured those darn "propeller hampered" messages for months. Yesterday I took the mini 2 out and had to retry taking off 32 times, the time before I did 20+ retries, so I had enough and started looking for tutorials online: I found a couple...

    A propeller won't start at times

    Hi folks in the last 4 sessione it happened three times, and I worked around it by spinning that prop with my fingers, usually one try did it but the last time I had to try spinning it 5 or 6 times before it started. The message is "propellers hampered" (translating from italian so I don't know...

    EASA CE-Marking - Please explain the reason WHY!

    Is it for all drones or just those above a certain weight? I'm in Italy and fly a Mini 2 just for its weight under 250 grams, and I'd like to be able to fly it as I do now :(

    DJI MINI 2 LATEST FIRMWARE ISSUE NEEDS TO BE FIXED!!

    Did you try installing the previous firmware (or the one you were using before upgrading to 01.02.0300) in order to confirm it's an issue with FW 01.02.0300? That's the only way to be sure it's a FW issue and exclude hardware issues

    Austin 2018 Formula 1 GP aerial video feed: which drone?

    They used a drone, I'm almost sure of it because of the low altitude and because of the manoeuvres it did: an helicopter coulndn't turn itself so quick. Anybody know which drones they used? Judging by the speeds it reached, almost keeping the pace with the cars in a 120-140 km/h trait of...

    Zurich, Italy, Greece, Malta, Amsterdam: Suggestions, restrictions?

    I wish I'm not too late... anyway, here's a post from myself some months ago: In Italy, if your drone weighs more than 300 grams, in order to fly near houses and/or people you have a lot of paperwork to do and money to pay and heavy hassles, while if you're under 300 grams it's all easy-peasy...

    Will the zoom Mavic do more harm than good?

    In Italy, if your drone weighs more than 300 grams, in order to fly near houses and/or people you have a lot of paperwork to do and money to pay and heavy hassles, while if you're under 300 grams it's all easy-peasy. Here are the requirements, specifying the only one that also applies to drones...
