Generally yes, and as for the Pulpit Rock the Norwegian air authorities said that it is legal to fly over and around the rock. But since it is private property the owners may restrict take off and landing on their property. So just walk back a short distance until you don't see the sign, and...

Don't blame the poster for that! It is Mavicpilots that demands that you accept third party cookies, and like you I hate it. Delete all your cookies regularly, use a VPN, and a privacy-focused browser. Chrome is the worst of them all. I use 5-6 different browsers, each for their own purpose.

There is a national park in Lofoten which is a no-fly zone, but Reine and Reinebringen is outside the park, so it is legal to fly there. But close to Reine is a heavily visited place called Bunesstranda, or Bunes beach. This is within the national park. The same is the even more visited...

City center is a bit unprecise, except for Oslo. Flying over people is more precise, and the rules here depends on what category you are flying under: A1: fly over people but not over assemblies of people A2: fly close to people A3: fly far from people In A1 you may be allowed to fly over a...

As a recreational pilot you don't need Ninox. When flying in Norway the most important rule is no drone flying within 5 km from an airport without permission. If you do, they will find you and confiscate the drone and you will get a hefty fee. Norwegian airport authorities have a very...

Strange, this is not necessary on my phones with Go4 (Samsung and Huawei). But I do not use the latest version of Go, maybe that is why.

This is an IMU-module from the Mavic Pro.

The Mavic Pro has 2 IMU and 2 compasses. The Mavic 2 Pro and Zoom has 2 IMU and 1 compass.

Did you install the latest DJI Go4, version 4.3.62? If it still does not work, I recommend finding a used phone with Android older than version 14. Go4 is an old app, and I don't think they update it anymore. I use Huawei P30 and P30 Pro with Android 10 on my Mavic 2 drones.

Many people have problems running Go4 on a Pixel 7 with Android 14, I don't think I have heard of anybody made it work flawlessly. A personal experience is a friend with a Mavic 2 Pro, he bought a Pixel 7 and never got it to work with the drone. I had to give him an old Samsung S7, it worked...

I am following a Dutch person on youtube who is now travelling solo on a motorcycle in the desert areas of Saudi, on her journey we can see more of the awesome landscape in your country. And meet the nice people. She also fly drone there with no problem. Search for itchy boots.

Amazing landscape, I want to see more of it. Well done.

Yes, that works. Also a zip tie will do. I have one of these clamps: https://www.ebay.com/itm/284664554045 No way the battery comes loose! I keep an eye on the battery voltage for each cell when flying, and land immediately if I see some irregularities.

Too good to be true? Yes, and then it is most likely a scam. Do a search for "is djidroner.com safe?" and you will see. Here are some links: https://dronewhispers.com/t/avoid-djidroner-com-my-costly-mistake/3219 https://www.scamdoc.com/view/2026165...
