Thanks for all your comments, I have definitely learnt a big lesson!

So our safety guy at work asked me if I could take the drone up to capture the site for him to create a traffic plan, yes no problem I said. So checked the battery and it was on 3 lights, that's enough I thought for what we need. Then set it up ready to go, all checks done locked onto 16...

We have a quarry next an airport, we use our drone to take areal shots of the site. I call the control tower to ask if it's ok to fly, they just ask me not to fly above 400ft, the drone must weigh under 7kg and to inform them of the flight time then call them when we have finished flying...

Great advice but, what happens when your bird suddenly has a malfunction and flies off crashing onto someone's Ferrari or worse hits someone with all your details plastered all over it! Hello Mr unhappy or Law man!

Update, called the company who I purchased the drone from today to find out what is happening about a replacement charger? Only to be told they are waiting for DJI to get back to them, over a week now!!! Not happy!

Has anyone had charging issues, only had the drone 3 weeks and the charger is playing up. It's a P3P. I guess it must be the charger as I've tried the fuse and lead, still nothing. Tried plugging in the remote with the battery, nothing until I turn the battery on, then the remote starts charging...

I flew in our quarry today which is opposite an airport. This was to take pictures of the restoration. I called traffic control to let them know, they were happy for me to fly providing the drone was under 7kg and only flew to 400ft. I couldn't get round all the site due to the geofence...

Hi, do I need insurance to fly my drone at work to take pictures of our quarries? Thanks
