When did you order? Its showing as in stock but pre-order only slightly confused

Ordered last week

I contacted Heliguy about the flymore kit for the mavic 2, they have apparently got 200 on order from DJI but they haven't shipped yet I ordered elsewhere today and its been dispatched so all being well I'll have it tomorrow

How much?

£279.99 delivered

 

[Scream]

Not bad at all. I am not in any panic as the weather is brutal where I am and it could be next week before there is any good weather.

 

[Bradmax57]

Will probably be the same as me, but I ordered last week also and heard nothing so contacted them on Monday, they have said its likely to be another 2 weeks before they get any and was hoping to get it before then just incase

 

[Bradmax57]

I've somehow ended up with two Mavic 2 fly more kits haha (I don't mean for the price of 1) so have stuck one up at MM if anyone would like, not trying to make anything on it as I got it for the pre price rise

 

[Scream]

You’re lucky. I see Heliguy has an expected stock date of the 5th October for the fly more kit.

Just had this pop up on my Youtube recommended list. Très cool.

Has anyone using DJI Go 4.0 updated their Apple device to iOS 12 yet? Is Go still behaving after the update?

 

[Bradmax57]

I have updated but not actually flown since doing so, i'm heading down to Yorkshire tomorrow with work and will be taking my mavic zoom with me so if I get the chance I'll give it a whirl

 

[Draeger]

Cheers....let us know how you get on. I'm always wary of updates whether it be to the actual DJI Go app, Firmware or how iOS updates all tie in with them both. I like to hang fire for a bit before updating any of those, having had a few disastrous update conflicts over the few years I owned my old Phantom 3, especially with Firmware.

Has anyone experienced a cpu overload and a shutdown with their iPhone while flying?

Happened to me yesterday and couldn’t get the phone back on. Worst thing of all was, it happened as I flew it out of my view just to check something. Dirty underwear moment.

nightmare, hopefully it would have started a RTH procedure?

 

[Bradmax57]

out of interest what iPhone were using? I'm contemplating replacing my s9+ with a xs max just so I don't have to take an ipad with me when I want to fly ……...

 

[Scream]

I was using the iphone6. Might have to change it if it happens again. Updating the firmware now to the latest.

Had RTH but it’s way of. Have to do some testing to make it more accurate.

Just found this. Might sort my problem out. https://youtu.be/R7rTqozb39E

my worst rth has been less than 2m?

There used to be a thread in the photography forum for drone/quadcopter pictures. Anyone know what happened to it?

Nevermind, i found it.

 

[Cyclone]

I'm still getting jittery when the Mavic is over 500ft away......haven't ventured any further than LOS yet.

I did just over 4000ft (3/4 mile) the other day. Using TapFly, my pooper was quivering

This is a nice place to fly. Lots of open space to fly with a few streams and a river to catch it if it falls.

Spoiler: Boring Video

Nice. Need to work up to flying over distance, still a bit nervous about it.
