Well seeing as I’ve hardly had a chance since August to fly my mavic pro. I’ve given it to my brother out in Australia for the time being. He was just over recently for a few weeks and asked if he could take it with him. I said sure as I haven’t flown it myself for a few mths now.
Plus seeing as it’s summer out there and where he lives out in the Gold Coast. It will be more use to him than it is to me sat in my wardrobe lol.
I’ll have it back by April next year as he’s planning to come back for a few weeks. I just hope he doesn’t lose it or has an accident with it lol.

It's a photography /selfie type drone, you wouldn't want it to not self level
I’m starting to miss mine nowNew Toy
Not sure this is a good thing (as someone fly's a Mavic around a Cruise ship), but it does show how impressive the technology is inside the Mavic.
This is a year old (probably posted already), but he did another video yesterday. Im waiting for him to upload it

I watched one of his other videos when he did it with the Spark, and even for a small quadcopter, the range was impressive. That video with the Mavic is absolutely amazing though. He goes so far out with that ship. The technology is very clever to say that least!
After watching his Spark video, I really want one. I don't know what for yet, but I just do! I live in a village and I quite fancy taking it to one of the farm fields around me and just flying it around taking footage of everything from above. What are the rules when doing this? I read that you can't be within 50m of dwellings or people. Is that true?
So you read it... Where?

That's just the Drone Code from the Civil Aviation Authority. I wasn't sure if this was specifically law, whether it applies to any and all property or whether you'd have to specifically have to be within a high air traffic area. Sometimes other provisions exist so I was asking to see if anyone could expand a little on this because at the moment, things don't seem to be specific enough.

Correct, they're all over the place and you can fly anywhere without realising you're breaking the walls sometimes.
Best advice is use common sense. Don't fly over people's houses, gardens or whatever, don't fly over people or low over them, if there are animals about use your head.
