[mrkdob]

Cheers, I'll not bore you with the rest lol

 

[M4RK]

Lol...you had no qualms flying over the Humber?!

 

[Karl2951]

Very good.. all the wording confused me though..

 

[mrkdob]

I was a bit nervous at first but I'm kind of used to it.

 

[mrkdob]

I basically shot the images to create a panoramic view in 3 separate exposures then picked the best bits from each to create it

Derby. Any of you got the autopilot app? It's 28.99£ but a decent bit of kit to add to an already impressive kit of the Mavic.

 

[M4RK]

Any of you got the autopilot app?

I've looked at both Litchi and Autopilot, but not plumped for either as yet...

Autopilot looks very comprehensive lets say, but how do you find it?

 

[watkins.chris]

I've too looked at both but something about AP caught my eye prob the price tag lol. With the new DJI firmware the AP app isn't working well at all. The waypoint mission which I brought AP works ok but you have to have it in continue mission if signal is lost. Scary at first but flew mine just over a mile using it and was ok. AP is a winner once the sort out the firmware problems.

What's the highest you've had yours too ?

 

[M4RK]

I hear Litchi is also struggling with the current firmware release.

I've flown only up to about 60/70m as where I regularly fly is not far from a small airport so erring on the side of caution!

 

[Karl2951]

That puts you really close to me m4rk, I live under its flight path.

 

[watkins.chris]

I'm pretty close to East Midlands airport fly zone. I have to be careful where I go when going south.

 

[M4RK]

Which app is that? I use Drone Assist

 

[watkins.chris]

Airmap tend to use both

Hi I'm afraid I'm not from Retford! I'm in Wellingborough, near Northampton. Just about East Mids... Got my Mavic delivered today!! Been for a little flight in a playing field near work and it's hit home how much there is to learn. What an amazing bit of kit though

Hi. I'm brand new to this, haven't even unboxed my Mavic yet ( purchased yesterday) I live in Northampton, work in Earls Barton but was wondering where you fly where's safe especially for first flights and to learn. I'm lucky to finish work late so in summer especially, I can fly at first light when there's not many people around. Thanks, Kevin.
