How high up is that drone? :oops:

Bah, crashed my drone tonight, trying to get a close shot of an old unused church spire, the wind kicked up a little bit and it was enough to ping the drone off it and sent it crashing down. Front right hand arm has a crack on it which i'll need to get sorted :( £90 for the repair kit with...

The drone not fully coming on is something i've ran into quite a bit, it sits with the fan spinning but nothing else. Sometimes it can be the wifi password is the issue, other times the sd card might not be properly inserted causing a boot up stall.

Looks like i'll have to, turned it on today and the same error :(

Is there much messing around once the lid of the parrot is open to get to the vertical camera connector? Got this error yesterday and haven't had a chance to try a reset, just checking in advance to see if i just need to pop the lid off to access it if necessary.

Something they're using in China to burn stuff off power lines apparently. Then you have this guy who strapped one to a drone to roast a Turkey.

I was flying over some abandoned tower blocks a while back, out of nowhere about 6 Seagulls started flying around the drone. Got it back to where I was, the Gulls followed and proceeded to crap on the roof of my car.:( Think this is probably the best solution to birds. :p

I generally launch and land in my hand, the props do sort of worry me on the anafi as theres really nothing to them so wouldn't take much to stress them.

Well so much for that theory, was out tonight with it getting some footage, had a short flight, turned it off, travelled to my next spot, turned it back on and no luck getting it to connect. My mavic pro connects first time every time, when the parrot does this routine of it turning on but not...

Did you bring the controller with you when you were looking for it? If the drone stayed powered on you might get a picture back on your screen if you get close to it. Same thing happened to me the other day and i could hear it beeping and as i got closer got a signal from the camera.

Seem to have fixed it (fingers crossed), removed the app, all the cache and data with it, then reinstalled the modded app. Working so far.

Only have the one phone to try it with, my brothers iphone i could try but doubting it would make a difference.

And out of the blue after yet again reinstalling the app it decides to work again. :unsure:

Had it out tonight, same thing all over again, tried their method of what goes on first and nothing. According to another phone i had with me it wasn't even broadcasting a wifi signal so there was no connection between the 2 for it to "boot up" into. It seems like it gets to a certain stage...

Hmm, wasn't aware of that turning on the drone first. I'll have to do that later to see if it makes a difference. Never realised this either: I generally just connect the phone to the controller then open it, will have to do it their way from now on.
