I have a P4 pro still in the box! - bought 2 years ago and never flown because when i bought it the New Zealand agent Ferntech gave me a discount for buying it and a Mavic Pro, the Mavic is just easier for my travels - so if anyone in New Zealand is interested...

I think it only fair that the Explorer gets attacked by a swarm of angry drones!

Proxy makes a low resolution copy of your video and uses that while editing, then when you are done editing, the changes are applied to the full resolution original. Using a non-compressed format, you are still editing the full resolution video but as it is not compressed, the processor or gpu...

At 15.8m/s (~60km/hr) over over 7,501km, the flight took over 5 days, wonder how having to top up the blender in flight with used coke tins to feed the flux capacitor was handled?

Probably a bit short notice to learn something like Premier Pro, it comes as 30-day trial, then monthly fee. The trick is to transcode to a non-compressed format so your travel computer can handle it. Adobe Premier Pro, transcode the original 4K to cinepro and then it is way fast even on my 5yo...

Wonder how many have taken the SD card from their drones when new and run them through a undelete utility? I did it for my P4,P4Pro and Mavic (I always scan cards in new purchases to make sure they are new), only got what seemed like testing logs, but another friend got a similar video to the...

If you only require a mainland China address to get your' replacement battery shipped, can you not use a freight redirecting company, eg Parcl - First Worldwide Shipping Community I havent used this one, just googled it but In New Zealand, we have a lot of overseas companies who won't ship here...

It needs the aircraft to be connected before it shows the controller serial number. Don't know why!

Yes, DOC are very twitchie, often with good reason - we have quite a few endangered species, which I can understand. I just looked at the form to fill in - seems most of it (eg how many people and landings) refer to full-size aircraft, and as DOC does point out on their site - as far as FAA...

Where about in NZ are/were you planning to fly? You only need to reg your' flight if it is near an airfield and controlled airspace etc. in which case, lodging a 'flight plan' with airshare isnt too bad, they like you to do it 24hrs before flight and ask you to let them know when you finish - to...

I would be very worried if it acted differently to my other batteries - it could be that the switch has a bad connection, or is mechanically faulty, and by pressing it down you are temporarily breaking instead of making the connection in the switch so the micro in the battery thinks it is the...

I may be wrong but I assume that is the home point - look at the other end of the flight?

Or alternatively the neighbours sigh as they now see two buzzy-bees in the sky!

Possible but it looked from the log to be in the middle of a field, (the OP confirming it was found where he lost the signal).

It may have hovered till its' battery was exhausted then landed as you say, but the ground doesn't look too rough enough for it to be sat on its' lid with the battery out and the camera snapped off - my guess is that it fell a decent distance to the ground after either a failure or a bird hit as...
