Commiserations. First Law of Drones If you are in the middle of the Sahara desert, and there is one solitary tree about three miles away . . . . . . . . . .you're going to hit it. Definition Tree.. . . .. . . Device used for stopping drones.

I have now concluded that, for some reason, I now need to calibrate the compass before every flight. I never needed to do this before when flying in the same field. It would seem that the compass is now "forgetting" its calibrated settings from one day to the next. I wonder where the...

Thank you very much for that. So with GPS Ready I'm good to go. I still have the problem of Lost GPS though, even with 18 satellites on the drone and 12 on the controller. Hopefully, calibration and binding again might fix it. Cheers.

If you are flying in a completely deserted flat area with one small tree a long way away, you will eventually fly into that tree. Never fails.

it corrupted the file and I lost the entire film along with the finale. Worrying. I presume you did stop the recording before switching off.

Charger / cable for charging ST-10 plus battery outside the ST-10? Is there such a thing please? Thanks.

Anyone?

Quite happy with the results using my Q500+./ CGO2 I do find however that video sharpness is overdone at 50fps. Although not a major problem, I was wondering is there was any post processing program available where I could correct this. Thanks.

What is the name of the app please?
