Melbourne Outer East here. Currently flying a P4, but have a Mavic 2 Z on order. I would be interested in meeting up with others in the area.

Phantom 4 drone complete with: - 2 x batteries - 3 sets of propellors (2 white, 1 black) - Sun shield for phone - Backpack for drone and controller ( as well as original DJI Styrofoam case) - DJI ND filter 50 flights - total flight time 8 hrs 14 min. Most recent flight 7/7/19. Had a minor...

Your tv screen is a 16:9 ratio. If you have a 4K tv screen, that's the maximum resolution it can display. Although 4096 x 2304 is a 16:9 ratio, the screen won't display that much, so shrinks it to fit.

Try 3840 x 2160. That's UHD resolution. It will drop a bit off the edges but fit top to bottom.

Maybe the manual is written for us down under?

You tick the boxes on the CASA form. I just ticked everything in Victoria, as you never know...

Maybe you're holding the manual upside down?

I'm also in Melbourne and contacted Parks Victoria. I was give a blanket NO to flying in National or State Parks in Victoria. As far as they are concerned, this is a blanket ban on recreational drone flights and there are no exceptions allowed at local level. Having said that, it might be worth...

I have my ARN and notified them of my intention to fly commercially and listed all the Victorian locations listed. I have no specific intent of making money out of my hobby, but if asked to shoot something for reward, I'm covered.

Surely you mean driver... not diver? Lol

Keith, what phone do you have? You mention you have an iPhone but the tabs don't hold it in place because the phone is too big? I have used the holder with iPhone 5 and iPhone 7+ and it works fine with both. Are you sure you're extending the holder far enough if you have a large iPhone and...

He was flying in Lysterfield Park near the mountain bike circuit.

Admittedly, I'm a relative newcomer to the hobby, only having had my P4 since the beginning of the year. In that time, I've flown 6 hours and 39 minutes and covered over 42 km in the air. The bird has flown flawlessly and I've only had one mishap. That was my own fault, flying too close to a...

I'm not sure I understand. You have a perfectly good drone that has had no problems, the same as many thousands of us world wide. Why would an expectation of poor customer service make you want to sell it? You've only flown it for an hour... not even long enough to become familiar with it, yet...

Totally agree. I likewise, tend to look for isolated areas to take off and fly and avoid the more popular areas to avoid annoying others. It's a pity about the no flying in National Parks as they cover vast areas of beautiful scenery with nobody around, so annoying nobody. But all it needs is...
