First flight successful!!

[Neil Stapleton]

Hi all just had my first flight, took some nice pics. It was really sunny so pics are not as good as what I could have got. This piece of kit is unreal and I believe I have a hobby at last only issue I had was loss of signal at 130ft will have to look into that but otherwise all good

Ha-haa, the bug bit ya huh? I've had my Standard since Feb 13. 67 flights so far and counting. But I have to send mine back to Dji, AGAIN for repairs. Signal and gimbal issues again. You losing signal at 130 ft is troubling. Did you ever get further than that or is that just one instance? I've had mine out to just over a mile once, and just 500 ft short of a mile just yesterday. That is in an area with super long line of sight though.

Nice pictures though. What is in pic #3? A sewage treatment plant?

Second flight went OK managed to get it up to 381ft before got signal loss. There was some trees about 50m away and a main road not sure if that would have contributed to it or not.

Nice pics, directly up is normal to loose signal unless you have antenna parallel to the ground or pointing up if your are out in front of you.
Enjoy it only gets better
