So Drones are having a bit of a bad press recently, but despite this I bought my preferred model in the January sales, a DJI Mavic Air.

My main hobby is walking and whilst out I like to record our walks with an ageing digital SLR.

When we were walking the "Broads" I thought the photographic capabilities of a good amateur Drone could come in quite useful, and my goodness I was not wrong, stunning still pictures and equally amazing video.

As a person who flew early model RC helicopters I am amazed at the ease and flight abilities of this Drone, it's a shame that as usual it's the few that seem to ruin it for the responsible many.

Hi One. The more recent thread was trashed but was contributed to by a very knowledgeable poster called Cooperboy. He doesn’t seem to have been around before or since, unfortunately.

Ambivalent to them really. On the one hand I think I’d enjoy playing with one and getting some great photo shots, on the other hand too many seem to be owned by the same types who annoy everyone with jet skis!

I think I know why. The Deleted User posts told their own story and I'm saying no more, David.

I notice that the OP has neither name or member tag, if appropriate, under their photo. Never seen that before, anyone any explanation why that is?

Not entirely but the OP was an old friend who no longer posts. The pic is a complete mystery - one of the vagaries of CAMC IT.

I have brought my post forward so that if there is anyone out there to assist me they won't have to read all the other non relevant stuff

 

Now for the advice.  I have recently purchase a DJI mini 2.                                                    My phone is a Samsung S21  5G.                                                                                              I have been on the Google play store to download the DJI Fly App but I can’t find it so I have downloaded the DJI Pilot app.  This doesn’t appear to work, the message says that an aircraft is not connected.  If I move the wheel on the controller the camera moves (curious).  

 

I know the drone, controller work cos I’ve connected via the flight App to my i-pad mini 2.

Anyone got any ideas
