    Magnetic interference - Compass won’t calibrate

    My MA flew first time every time until one day I did the most retarded thing ... tried to launch of the bonnet of my car [massive face-palm]. Since then it's 50/50 if it will fly first time or require compass recalibration. Usually only takes one go to recalibrate, but a bit frustrating if...

    Is the Mavic Air good enough?

    I purchased my first drone, a MA, in March this year and I have been delighted with it. You've all heard the adage "the best camera is the one you have with you". Well the MA is the drone you can pack quickly and easily to take almost anywhere. Two cons are slightly less flight time than MP...

Am I better to leave them partially discharged after use and then re-charge just prior to flying? Or is...

    What video editing software you guys using?

    Have used FC Pro X for years and love it. I had bad experiences with Adobe Premier when I was first editing (decades ago) but believe it's now really good. I'm surprised how many of you are editing in 4K. I don't have a 4K TV and my audiences are almost certainly not viewing on a 4K device...
