The spot I flew to was closer than the RTH spot. It would have died anyway, and probably have been irretrievable, had I not intervened. It still reported battery when it shut itself off.

I’m not sure I follow your logic here. You don’t pay for marriage with your virginity. You pay for it in monetary value, which you at least get partially back through divorce proceedings. anyway, a purchase contact is not a marriage. Consumer law is not family law, and Australian consumer law...

By the way, the gimbal is completely wrecked. The camera is still working though. Also, one of the legs is broken, but the motor still registers and I think the wiring is intact. Should be able to super glue that one back together. not going to do any of that though; parrot owe me a working...

Oh I’m really not sure. I’m not going to give you a guess because I really don’t even know a ballpark. It’s about a year old and it’s been taken out every other week or so. But I have two batteries, so im not sure which one etc.

What’s the best way to contact parrot in Australia?

I have a flight log. It shows crash = 0. Actually battery was at 7% when it shut off. Low, but now low enough to just die. In fact, it should have been more than enough to land from the altitude it was at (~10m).

I’m not going to fall over that easily: the drone was made and sold under the premise that it would fly until its battery is drained. It very clearly didn’t do that, which makes it a faulty product. As for the battery itself, it started flashing red after the crash and won’t charge. I’m...

Hold on - no way am I just going to “accept” this. I didn’t make any pilot error. As a consumer I have rights, and I intend to assert them. This drone is about one year old, and Australian consumer law clearly gives me a 2 year minimum warranty period on electronics products that are >$500...

Hi, Today, I took my Anafi on a flight to take a few shots of a pod of dolphins that was frolicking around. I launched from a ledge, but since I didn’t fancy my chances at landing it there, I planned to land it on the beach below instead and retrieve it from there. When the time came to turn...
