    3rd flight, a couple of questions

    It isn't the wisest thing to publish your whereabouts so precisely on the internet.

    3rd flight, a couple of questions

    P vs N mode, recent firmware update boobed and changed it. The next update might 'fix it'. Logs...... up load the .txt to phantomhelp's log viewer. Download the CSV and then either read the csv directly or process it with CsvView and get graphical results. If those solutions don't suit, just...

    Wind.....it's always windy?, and landing pad

    No or, if you are talking about a controller with a built in screen, not directly. The screen can show you the attitude indicator and if you understand that it does give you an idea about the wind speed.

    Anyone got a drone up over the London marathon ? Or is it all a NFZ ?

    As in the title. I half expect it to be an NFZ.

    Beginner drone

    Without a response from the OP all we can do is guess. Besides OA comes with its own problems, does the mini 4 have sideways looking sensors ? Realistically I would be inclined to suggest manual control and a second hand mini 2 rather than a brand new and expensive current model with OA. Less...

    Wind.....it's always windy?, and landing pad

    A few suggestions, 1} consider hand catching and launching but read up on those before you attempt either. Obviously you need to keep your fingers away from the props but I hand launch and catch mini 1 & 2s 99% of the time. The mini 3 & 4 may have quirks especially with regards to launching so...

    I would be wary of flying around military of any sort. You may end up in deep hot water. Pun intended.

    Air 3 DroneOverChina - collection of my best shots

    Whilst some of the imagery that I saw looked nice, you messed with that imagery far too much for my taste and changed scene so quickly that I gave up after maybe 20 seconds. I actually thought YouTube was malfunctioning at one point.

    Caroline, are you thinking of having the drone track the riders automatically?

    Pro drone footage of the approach shadow of the eclipse of 2024

    Is this supposed to be video or a set of stills ? "Footage" implies video to me but what I see seems to be stills.

    Just remember wind speed tends to increase with height and decrease as the drone descends. What the drone needs to do to counter the wind can be assessed from the attitude indicator ....... if you understand it.

    First flight at last...mini 4 pro

    Yawing the drone is achieved by slowing one diagonal pair of motors and increasing the speed of the other pair. Torque reaction spins the drone. Motor speed and tilting the drone is the only way the drone has of controlling its movement. Google "how a drone flies". There's a NASA PDF that looks...

    Three bladed propellers

    Why bother with the 3 bladed props ? The std DJI props do a perfectly good job. Modification for modification's sake isn't necessarily a good thing. I too would ask, do you want to risk you drone using unknown props ? Not me, DJI only on my drones. As far as i know triple blade props are only...

    Mini 2 bizarre crash in the sea.!!

    I did wonder if inserting the card into a switched on drone could cause problems .... But apparently not.

    Mini 2 bizarre crash in the sea.!!

    Are you saying that you inserted the memory card into a drone that was already switched on ? With regards to the memory card and water damage, water should not damage a card. Where a recording has been stopped by the drone crashing it is more likely that the recording appears broken because the...
