Welcome from the Wild West.... Midlands.

For the toaster? Possibly not.... but the fire brigade might...🤪

I'd be interested if you were able to find out what that particular building housed. As for lead sheeting: first hand experience let me know just how efficiently this can block RF transmissions (but only when it lies directly between the drone and the controller antennas). Same with copper or...

Phone wires, electricity cables, guy lines, thin branches, pretty much everything you might suggest barring a brick wall has bamboozled O/A at some point or another. When it was first released, someone posted comments about the mini 4 being crash-proof, when I stopped chuckling, I sat back and...

I run ICE v.2 on my Win 11 P.C without a hitch and you're right: for a little piece of software that was written to showcase a concept, ICE is top-notch, no-fuss and blisteringly quick.

The mini 2 can be 'unlocked' and is still a very capable and well-featured little drone, but in order to use any DJI drone fully: you still have to create a kosher DJI account first... that's just the way they operate. No-one on this, or any other forum will tell you different. Just because...

As mentioned in one or two previous threads, Autopano Giga v.4.4 is still a pretty good pano stitcher even though it was abandoned by its developers back in 2018. Quite a few people who have recently downloaded it have difficulty in getting it to work because it crashes the instant you try to...

Point taken. Just had a good mooch through both apps and detailed flight records are still created, they just aren't accessible unless you switch LDM off. Something I've done from the first week of ownership is regularly clear all cached data and flight records: not through paranoia - just...

... Didn't suggest you were - just using the scenario as an example. But the point is still valid and meant to be viewed as a simile to illustrate that you can't have one rule for you and another rule for everyone else. We're all hamstrung by the same general airspace regulations that have...

The best answer to the first paragraph above is to ask you a question. Would you tolerate a stranger flying a drone over and around your property? Or would you get the hump about it? Whatever the answer: airspace rules of access determine that what's up there is classed as a 'State Asset' - a...

Same here... A separate screen device allows for the easy installation of non-DJI flight apps like Litchi and Maven. I've used a non-sim 10.5" tablet as the flight screen for over 5 years (GO4 and FLY) and it is always set to 'airplane mode' before it connects with the drone. You need to allow...

Many comments in this thread are bang on the money, I think we all start out looking at parts of the regulatory structure that interfere with something we want to achieve and try splitting hairs to find a way to bend the rules, but whatever the case and whether we like it or not: Aviation...

Osmo pocket or pocket 2. Best option with smallest form factor. With any handheld gimbal, you have to learn the Ninja Walk to iron out the z-axis bounce... either that: or buy a z-axis stabilizer.

**corrected accordingly, although the difference between their stated end-goal is negligible.

A product banned which subsequently thrives? I can cite one perfect example absolutely peculiar to America... Imported booze during the prohibition era. And while the continental U.S may well be a big old single marketplace, I might respectfully remind you that the rest of the world is bigger...
