@Morgon Tried that early on, in many areas of the moor the tussocks can be two feet high and as for the bloody bracken I'd need to carry a pair of shears with me :( The hand catch video I've just seen goes some way to convincing me hand catching is practicable though, just need to convince...

@Dcpmark Thx for pointing me to that video. I started watching it yesterday but killed the video after a couple of minutes, as I didn't take to the guy's presenting style. Just checked out at the 5.40 mark and good to see that he could pluck it out of the air, albeit indoors in no wind...

Interesting to read the opinions of many posters getting excited about the Mavic, opinions based on conjecture and "review" videos. In every video I've seen the Mavic is taking off or landing on concrete or well cropped grassland. Yes, its small size will be ideal for carrying across rough...

It does if you happen to be flying in an area where there is cell service, but no cell service == no magic leash and there are a lot or remote areas with no cell service, even in the UK

Thx for the quick response Good news, look forward to testing POI on the moors next week, once the wind drops a bit, to see how well it works

Hi. I've just bought your app, I have to admit, mainly for POI as I'll be using POI up on Dartmoor out of cell phone signal range to circle the hundreds of artifacts on the moor. Will your app work with cached google earth maps as does another app I use regularly for waypoint mission flying...

RTH speed is close on 8 m/sec,( about 18 mph), I've used it often enough. If you want to return home more slowly and you are a NAZA user then try Home lock, that makes its way back home ( or 10 m from it) at just over 5 m/sec.

Thanks Frank for your obvious efforts in beta development to enable users of the UF app to now be able to relatively seamlessly work with dashware in getting flight data on their videos. I had experimented a little myself to merge the log data with the video O/P using dashware but with only...

I made up a simple reflector, slid it behind the stock antenna and got over 1500 metres out of the P2V+. I also had fpv the whole time, as I used the simple fpv booster app for that. The reflector is very easy to fit and remove. Before fitting that I was getting just over 500 metres out of the...

Thanks That's the sensible action to take otherwise it would be bouncing around on the edge of the 10m circle flicking in and out of HL/CL. Can't be having DJI programming in sensible actions too often though! Carrying that on a little if the CL initial orientation just happened to be aligned...

Hi, Whilst beta testing Kenargo's Ultimate Flight App (UFA) I screen recorded the app in action and it clearly showed what happened when my P2V+ flew back in home lock mode and returned inside the 10 metre circle. I knew what I expected it to do but would it behave as expected? The answer, yes...

Just get hold of a screen recording app and install it on your smartphone. Start the recording app and then the vision app. Everything you then see on your app screen is recorded and stored on the smartphone. Easy to do and it can come in very useful. I often embed mine in the corner of the...

Re: New app for vision and vision+ Ultimate Flight by kenarg Strange old world isn't it. One mans meat is another mans poison. I bought the Ultimate Flight App when I had serious problems with the DJI Vision App, I've found the UF App excellent, innovative and it is developing into an...

Re: Vision App jumps to fpv screen only after about 7 second Thanks guys for your help and advice. It happened both before and during flight frank and it wasn't downloading ground station related data. I had somehow accidentally checked the toolbar auto hide in the settings menu and although...

Today I've been flying up on Dartmoor, well out of mobile signal range. I was using version 1.0.58 of the DJI vision app with my P2V+ and my galaxy s5 is running under Android 5 OS. It was a beautiful day, sunny and very light winds, perfect for quad flying. The app linked up with my phantom...
