Hi there once again guys, I just want to find out wether there are anyone in the Johannesburg/Pretoria/Vereeniging area that will be able to assist me with identifying a problem we having with our kit. We have a M600 with an X5 camera that keeps disconnecting and I suspect the problem to be either the camera, gimbal connector or LB2.

I would like to know if someone in this area has a X5, Z3, X3 camera that I can test with.  

Thanks in advance

Out in Plattekloof and hang out around Melkbos for Table bay pictures.

Just google mapped Melkbos its quite close to a Nuclear Power Station. Is it ok to fly from there? Not been critical but coming-out To Cape Town on Sunday and trying to get as many recommendations as possible

Hi guys,

I am new here and looking to buy a Mavic. Please don't get upset if this was already mentioned/asked somewhere else, but I am unable to find it if true.
I read somewhere that the range advertised is not obtainable in South Africa? That you will not be able to get further than 500 m? Because of South African regulations? I would ideally want to get at least 2 km?

Any advice would be super helpful.

Thanks!

Just bought my Mavic Air in New Zealand. My wife (under strict instructions NOT to open the box) will  bring it with her when we me in Brisbane on our way home to St Francis Bay (home) on 29 March. Thats when I will get to unbox it for the first time. Hyper excited. First time droning.. so i will try to keep a bit of a vlog going of my progress with the drone. I would be very interested to link up with other pilots in SA so please invite me if there are any local groups or communities.

There are 31 people, including the original M CUBED MEDIA Dude, that replied.
Being a "map" guy I`d like to put the locations on a map.  However only 23 people gave an indication of their town/suburb.
Would the guys that did not give their locality be very horrible with me if I asked you by name where you live?
Other "statistics"

Model not given = 7
Spark = 1
Mavic unspecified = 1
Mavic Air = 2
Mavic Pro = 10
M600 = 1
Phantom 3 = 2
Phantom 4 = 5
Inspire = 1

Pretoria based. Bought the MA 3 months back, took it to Namibia, and did a few flights around Pretoria, but since "infected" the MA with the 0.400 firmware, so it is in for repairs or replacement.....
First drone, and while it was working, loving it.

I've got a Mavic Pro (the first one, not the Mavic 2) here in Knysna and am looking to source a 5D button for the RC without having to send away to the US for it, because that just takes too long. Anybody got an old RC that doesn't work and they could sell me the 5D button?

Not a Mavic pilot, but I do have a phantom 4. JLP's post reminded me of the first day that I flew my Phantom on December 11 2016 when I took the attatched pic.
I farm in the Northen Cape near Kimberley.

Magic pic! well done!
Hope the bird got away!

Hi guys! It’s nice to meet you all! I’m based in Milnerton, Cape Town and am still very new to flying. Am the proud owner of a Mavic mini2. Loving that it’s so small !! Any recommendations on great flying spots around the Cape? Itching to get out there again and fly/shoot. I usually drive out into the sticks and find a nice corn field to fly over and practice my moves, but think I’d like to change my scenery a bit… one can only shoot so much corn!! hahahaha
