Very nice, I like how you kept yourself hidden in the shots, I think it spoils many good films from pilots... Especially if they are not good looking... There are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there are no old & bold pilots. Hummingbird Media Productions

I enjoyed that story and the happy ending. I have always made sure I have a spotter so far (I know it won't always be practical), so just bought a couple of 2 way radios off Amazon. Hopefully if/when I'm in a similar situation, I can have a second set of eyes positioned somewhere and a voice in...

That's very similar to what I experienced and posted a couple of weeks ago. Several attempts at recalibration with the 'GPS Dance' (that worked after the third attempt), plenty satellites connected and a after take off it was like someone else had the controls. Weird!!! Do you have any...

Hi RT, It sounds like you have been wise to enjoy the fun models and gain experience before going upmarket with the Karma. As a professional, the Karma looks solid and capable to your clients, where a Mavic doesn't have the same impact (although they are fantastic birds). I also would...

Hello Mate, I haven't flown well for a few days, so it's still on the table. It doesn't sound too complex and should take 20-30 minutes to fit. I will let you know when I'm done. There are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there are no old & bold pilots. Hummingbird Media Productions

I have a similar post here Paranoid? Paranoid? but fortunately didn't crash. I learned as a pilot that an aborted landing is a good landing, if you can keep the bird in the sky, there's far less to hit. There are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there are no old & bold pilots...

Sure, it's in the Apple App store, not sure about Android, but I would imagine so..? There are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there are no old & bold pilots. Hummingbird Media Productions

Hi CORich, I'm pretty new here too and found the forum very helpful. Ask simple questions and someone will come up with the answer or advice. Is this your first drone? There are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there are no old & bold pilots. Hummingbird Media Productions

Hi Frank, welcome to the forum, which has been really useful for everything really! I would also recommend Drone Start. There's a few dji features that you can't use, however the rest of it is fantastic. The weather and KP index are included and you can add the check list Ironspear provided...

Hi, you are doing pretty well with your films. Did you edit on GoPro Studio? I've started following 'Drone Film Guide' on YouTube. You may get a few ideas from them too and I look forward to your next film. There are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there are no old & bold pilots...

Hi, I bought mine and wondered the same. When your battery goes in and there's a 'click' you have a second generation. You can also use your serial number and ask GoPro customer service. Hopefully that puts your mind at ease. There are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there are no old...

I thought compass & satellites triangulated positioning? There are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there are no old & bold pilots. Hummingbird Media Productions

Thanks, I contacted customer service and like Ironspear commented, they want me to try again in areas I had flown before. That might take a few days with the rain and wind we currently have, but will reply back what happens then. There are old pilots and there are bold pilots, but there are no...

Hey man, Kp was 2 on Drone Smart & Magnetology apps. Software is up to date too. We have a gale force 9 that's been building all day, but when I can, I will get back to the usual destination and give it a go. Do you know how to tell if it's a first or second generation?

Yeah that can catch you out when the Karma decides it's landing. I investigated, since I am surrounded by water and on the edge of 2 no fly zones (submarine & nuclear weapons facility). In an area that is clear to fly, sometimes with fewer than 10 satellites I get the NFZ message and it can be...
