Howsit Guys from Durban , South Africa!

Not entirely new to the drone game, have had 3 prior Phantoms - 1,2 and 3. Mainly used them for doing shoots for my construction sites. Had 2 flyaways and decided it was cheaper to pay someone to do it. Decided to get back into it after a friend bought a Mavic Pro. I am pleasantly surprised at how far DJI have come with these. The MA is amazing to fly! Have done ,collectively , more flights and time in the past month of owning the MA that all the Phantoms together!

Briefly scoured some of the forum for Compass Cal. issues and have noted a few . I experience the same. My drone prompts me to re-cal compass at every flight.  I have gone so far as to use a separate phone in flight mode, take off my Tissot T Touch and leave my normal phone in the car whilst im out flying. I am still doing flights over my building projects and have still noticed the drone freak out over areas of mass rebar and structural steel, except now it doesnt fly away. I am flying more cautiously too!

Any Durbanites , say hi!

Hi Nash, Welcome to the Forum, Yeah I am from Durban also and fly the Mavic Pro and P4A. Get used to the MA and know where you can and cannot fly. The MA is quite a stable drone but being in Durban and all the wifi that is around can cause issues, I know it used to affect my spark alot, take it easy, post some good videos and you can always ask for assistance on this forum as the guys on here are very welcoming. If you want to meet around DBN to do some flying we can, let me know
