Wow - just realised that since I've been insyncing my flight records from December 2017 I have just clocked up over 5.34 million feet - that's 1,012 miles or >1.627 million metres - a little further than John O'Groats at the top of the Scottish mainland to Paris in France. Amazing how quickly the miles clock up on these drones. That distance doesn't even include all of my flights from when I started flying in Aug '16 to Dec '17, other non DJI drones flown and when using the Litchi app - which would nearly double those stats if in the mix!

Congratulations Captain

Congrats Andy

Good experience pays off.

It certainly does - and being more into capturing stills than a 'range tester' that distance is over several hundred flights.

Hello and good day A J. Thank you for reaching out and for this great information you have shared with us. Congratulations. Have a safe and happy flying always.

Congrats Andy

Well I have opened a case with Dji and they have been very good in responding so far to me, sent them all the info they want and they said they will get back to me, also sent in documents to my insurance and waiting for them to get back to me as well. Hopefully Dji can help me understand what went wrong and what caused the issues, I have went back again to do another search and came up empty so will wait for now and if nothing I will get another Zoom, thought about the Pro 2 but since I am not into editing will stick with the zoom.

Glad all is at least in hand and hope you get a replacement soon mate

Yup I have my fingers crossed and will wait a few days before I decide to rush out and buy another

In that period, four drones though not owned at the same time

That is a nice milestone

Montfrooij Posted at 5-14 12:14
That is a nice milestone

Yeah, I'm pleased with that. Thanks mate

A J Posted at 5-14 12:18
Yeah, I'm pleased with that. Thanks mate

I can imagine.
And a big compliment to DJI

Montfrooij Posted at 5-14 12:20

Especially given that I've also never had a fly away or crashed any DJI drones outdoors (just that one time indoors - we'll turn a blind eye to that blemish though lol)

You must be nearly in Russia now, ;+) .  Congrats here’s to the next 1000 .

More than half way to Moscow (from London). Incredible when you think these machines run on batteries and we can get ten miles off a single battery charge on a good day.

Exactly!
My only crash was indoor too.
Minor crash though.
Just shaved a bit of the props...

impressive........ that's some serious flight distance

Great record A J.

Awesome milestone. Here's to a many more miles.

AJ,weldone, your flight records somehow get close to commercial jet liners. hope I can archive  such distance too without having any troubles.

Congrats AJ

Wow, that's some distance AJ!

I use my drone far too little.

Kinda makes me wonder sometimes why I bought the thing

Same here mate
