I also sometimes store it with and sometimes without the battery in place. Looking like there are as many variations as there are replies here. Is there any 'official' recommendation from DJI? If not, could that mean that there is no such 'best practice'?

I think you'll find that the '1' next to 'HC' and 'XC' are actually separate codes. The acronyms should be read as the SDHC and SDXC grouped together on the left. The '1' (or actually 'I') on the right is the short code for a speed class. Specifically a UHS bus speed; higher = faster. As I...

Four to five minutes on that section of the M25 at 17:45... they could all have been stationary...

The thin end of a gradually thickening wedge, perhaps? How long before mandatory third party insurance and licensing requiring annual subscriptions and pilot re-testing become a reality? As hobbyists, our best strategy must be to behave responsibly, stick together and speak with one voice; and...

The first sentence by the analyst says it all, "Sometimes it's important to be seen to be doing something." Apart from 'registration' the article also talks of taking an 'online competency test'. Any insights as to what this might be? Would registration with AltitudeAngel/NATS and a test of...

Thank you all for earlier responses to my off topic question. Back to the topic - I cannot believe this latest twist to the tale. Appalling damage to have been done if this turns out to be fake news, at least in part. I hope lawmakers will apply their critical analytical abilities on reliable...

As a newbie, I would be interested to know how the figure of a ceiling altitude of 400ft (120m) and distance of 1 km from an airfield was derived by the CAA. I think I may have come across a comment that the glide path of planes has them at around 3x that altitude at that distance from the...

In addition to that, there is a quote that his wife had no interest in drones... And they look like such a nice happy couple from Crawley (joke). More seriously though, what seems missing from these reports and interviews is any indication of motivation. It was very clear from the first day...

I really hope it will be very 'lite'. (The full one is currently looking like around a grand and several days commitment)

There are DroneGun-like pics (although likely stock ones) in the updated articles in the Sun and Mirror (only looking at these just this time!). The description and profiles of this couple don't seem to match what I would have imagined to fit. This may not be the whole story...

There are news reports that Gatwick did make contact with DroneShield

Then you are talking about enforcement here, rather than new legislation. For a specialist subject like this, I have always liked the idea of individuals like yourself turning to be gamekeepers... (not saying that you were a poacher before!)

I suspect you will be proven to be right, although I agree with Tbredhed that those who want to undermine any system for illegal or terrorism purposes will find a way past any regulation. The first question to ask is if there is already enough legislation in place (which is a different question...

...with money to burn...they must have not far off 10 grand worth of kit there...

I'm not the OP; for me it was to test and familiarise myself with some basic functions and the menu layouts in the Go 4 app, as daylight hours shrunk towards the winter months. I knew I was better at focusing on something new and mentally testing in a quiet space on my own, than doing the same...
