Amy please continue with your interest lately to RAMSAR wetlands in Puerto Villamil and Tintorera islet SE Isabela Galápagos "subspecies" Marine Iguana. Interested in your 2023 March population statistics within study area of Galápagos Archipelago. Cheers Claudia

Nice view of Lake Rise too!

OK, so DJI have finally responded to me and, after analysing both video footage & flight data logs suggested the following: "We get the analysis result from our engineers. Basically from your videos and logs, the way that RC signals drop indicates something obstructing the remote controller and the aircraft. For example, checking the position ball (see picture), your aircraft is pointed toward the back of the remote controller. Also, we observed that your flight height is relatively low. We would recommend you fly higher. Chances are that the aircraft will be obstructed by surroundings, by this the transmission range will be thus affected. Would you please test again? If the issue persists, you may send it back to the dealer." ------------------------------------------------------------- My response to this is was as follows: "Ok, great, thanks for getting back and taking time to analyse this, much appreciated. It's very hot in UK today/tomorrow but will try going back to similar location later in the week and get it up to say 100m to see how it performs it then. Regarding position ball / aircraft position noticed that this sometimes appears to get "stuck" somehow but have seen others suggesting that RC compass may need recalibrating, so will also do this to see if it improves the range. I did a quick flight yesterday with new FW 1.6.9 and felt a marginal improvement. Will report back later in the week. Pls pass on my thanks to your engineers for looking into this for me - much appreciate them taking the time and making the effort.

As of today (2nd May) it would appear that Argos have pulled that listing (likely temporarily until actual drone release date, rumoured to be 10th May) from both these self-service terminals as well as their online catalogue page. P.S. One of my UK-based reseller contacts suggested they are now taking pre-orders for the Mini 2 and release date is going to be the 10th May (at least that's what they've been told by DJI).

also on their online page: www.argos.co.uk/product/2027517?clickSR=slp:term:dji%20mini%203:2:144:1

Can't wait to see what you are going to show us MK, great idea for a series and nobody better to explore it!

Greate cinematic footage :)

Awesome 👌

Wow that’s amazing video with beautiful morning view that I enjoyed a lot, thanks for sharing, I got another newly uploaded video and hope u enjoy too :)

Thanks.epic ~ farewell! 😲

solid piloting for some reason couldnt adjust the quality of the video so was stuck at about 720p dunno if its just on my part or the video but thought should know

Brilliant

Beautiful laser colour my friend. Greetings from Lala!

Brilliant vibrant colours.

Back in 1986 I was here nearly every day over the summer. Could go round in low 50's - 54 I think. Good old days. Very fond memories of central park P&P. Good to see it still being used and loved.

Great Video. I have enjoyed it very much. Thumbs up. Please continue to produce more. I am looking forward to your next video. "Like" # 2

Well done mate.

Told you: www.dji.com/uk/mini-2/specs

Coming 5th Nov: www.dji.com/uk/trailer?site=brandsite&from=homepage

It's absolutely true that the Mini 2 is coming in the next week or so, we know that for sure based on the number of leaks long before now. Unfortunately off-shore chat agents will often just say whatever the customer wants to hear, some time ago GoPro told us that the Karma 2 will be out in the coming week...that was a year ago and GoPro even responded to our video to clarify that the agent was talking b***** :)

Nice

Amazing! Thanks for sharing. Now the last doubts should be gone! :)

lovely work!

Great Video I live just down the road from there

How far did it go?

Nice Mr k! Can't wait to see what creativity/concepts you come up with to showcase your Mavic and local area. See you soon buddy....

Nice video dude

Cool flying!

Thank you so much love this happy memories of walking my Labrador Oscar some years back on the Chase with the horses I miss this so much walking over the Chase as I have now moved out the area miss embark so much.

Good vid

Sup

this is great...you are improving so much. keep it up!

A nice aerial view. Being a regular there I sometimes forget just how much walking I do. I like to walk around the park's perimeter and then proceed to take on a few laps of fels fields. Now I will not feel so guilty about the odd time I eat a whole packet of Jaffa cakes on the park bench haha.

Hi Markus what quad are you using

yeah going to get some more footage of the front lake. like the wooden one

Hi John, to date I've been flying self-built micro quads, starting with basswood (i.ytimg.com/vi/QP6FXW2R-C8/maxresdefault.jpg) and more recently carbon fibre frames (www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2393382&page=18) Happy flying - might bump into you one day. Cheers, Markus

took my phantom over the chase last week what you flying

Good piloting skills!

i have one 2 i always land it like u do with one wing scrapping its hard to make it be stable on landing u have to lower and increase the speed

I wanted to see how dense the trees were here for adequate dog walking territory and couldn't tell, looking at google maps. This video served as a very good UAV recon scouting operation. Cheers.

Looking forward to my free Ver1 "WooDrone" Mr Krebsz. Happy to be "Team WooDrone" test pilot!

Take my money....WooDrone FTW!

Great flying MK you are really improving. Keep it up.

Hi Jon, Thank you for your interesting question: in all honesty, with great difficulty - it's a challenge getting the balance right between flying too low (resulting in mediocre vistas) and too high (with the danger of loosing the plane.) Please do keep in mind that the fish eye lens makes it look probably higher than it actually is. In order to solve both, I will be getting the big Radian and a Moebius cam in due course - allowing both flying higher and getting better resolution vids. Hope that helps/answers and best regards, Markus

how do you see it all the way up there?

Did you just use Velcro to fasten it?
