    Hey, thank you a lot mate! Pops got me this sweet drone last Christmas and i've over the last 7 months i've gotten quite used to turning it on, doing the quick calibration, and then just buzzing it around! It's super fun, but i was missing out on the features like 'home' and 'GPS flight' as well as the ability to loop continuously from set point A to point B. I hit the homing button for the first time, and a few seconds later I was hit with the barrage of beeps! I got so worried I landed, grabbed my drone and ran back inside to investigate! You saved me a ton of confusion and possible (unnecessary) heartache thinking i've hurt my drone!

    Although I appreciate and agree with a lot of the points made here, in the UK at least, it is very difficult to find ANY space where birds are not, and in fairly big numbers. AND if we were to not fly in breeding, nesting, or migrating seasons, then that's the whole spring and Summer gone isn't it ?! We are already SO restricted in where we can legally and safely fly that a lot of us head out to the countryside and the few remaining natural viewpoints that are still available to us, because it is all we have left ! And I have to say there are hawks at every single one of those sites for hundreds of miles around ! Each one surveys a territory tens of miles across and considers all that airspace its own ! It is simply not practical to abandon a flight every time one appears, or we could never fly at all ! So we must coexist with them, which is not impossible, if we send them the right messages, and show them we are not prey, or something they need to worry about. The latter of those is more difficult ! So (IME) in 80% of cases, sports mode, hard rise (away from thermals) to establish dominance, and then go 300m away from them, at that height. In a lot of cases they don't feel a need to follow, and stop treating you as prey or competition if you are lucky. I've had a number of flights where I do this, and they lose interest and resume what they were doing, and flight continues relatively unaffected after that. It's the 20% of times when they won't let it lie that it gets stressful for all of us, and a hasty retreat to ground level is needed, ideally not in the claws of whatever is pursuing...

    Major screw up on my part. I just got a brand new drone and reading up on instructions on how to use, and first thing it guided me to do was to plug in my batteries to charge them. Well, wouldn't you know it, my cell phone type c charging cable was laying right there so I plugged it in to new drone battery charger and pluged the brand new battery intobit. shortly thereafter I read instructions which urged to use the cable that came with the Drone. unfortunately I could only get flashing lights from that point on.

    I'd add to that list "Don't buy a Mavic." It's a drone. Not an Excavator. My dog ran off at the park, mid-flight. I abandoned the controller and went after the dog. The Potensic took care of itself, returning automatically from over a mile away. Remarkable. I take off, observe for stability, land, launch to set my take-off point, and set the return altitude high enough to avoid infrastructure. Works every time.

They simply came to check what's happening and flew back 200m away. Later, I found out there were mole holes near the plateau of the mountain. The guys were afraid that the drone is a competitor there. Now I am learning the rules and ways to reduce the risks. Another headache, lol. If not forbidden, then birds..

    Mine's actually okay most of the time, but when it gets near buildings or houses it drifts a lot more. This sucks because I wanted to do roof inspections as a way to make money, but if I can't fix the problem, eventually I'm going to crash it, guaranteed. It's a DJI Mini 3 so I don't think it's because it's a crappy drone obviously, and it also does not have obstacle avoidance either. Which is not great in this case LOL

    There is some speculation that the "cache when recording" setting in ADVANCED camera settings is gumming up the works as it pertains to jitter, jutter, choppiness....whatever name you want to give it when filming video and in particular the panning shots. The discussion is whether or not the cache process is filling up the buffer on the internal real-time processing as the footage is being acquired. For those who have played with all of the parameters you discussed in this video and still see the chop on the final output.....how much thought and time have you put in to evaluating the affect of caching (a low res version of the high res piece being shot) when recording? Who needs a bunch of cached duplicate low res files anyway?
