Check list importance

Since today ( 2nd only ever flight) I figured that a check list would be handy!! Forgot to put my mobile into flight mode and nearly didn’t take off the camera protection :roll_eyes::roll_eyes::roll_eyes:

Check out the #members-only category, you’ll find one (or more) in there :slight_smile:

I always used to forget the gimbal cover, ended up with a small sticker by the power button to remind me

I am paranoid before i take off . Check and check again just to make sure . Then off it goes .

I’ve never put my phone in to flight mode… never had any problems :grimacing: should I be doing this? :man_shrugging:t3:

I use DND to stop the messages and calls

Yes.

Because sods law says someone will ring you in the middle of a flight.

Not to mention the whole firmware-update thing, but that’s a whole other subject in a new thread :slight_smile:

You will find that the more you fly, the less you will need your checklist. How many of us drive cars? Do we use a check list before we drive? And driving is the singular most dangerous thing we all do on almost a daily basis.

Yep, got one also, failing to remove the gimbal cover prior to powering up is one way to FUBAR one or more gimbal motors.

The thing I did was make a pop up using an app called tasker… when I turn on DJI Go it waits 30 seconds and flashes a message reminding me Gimbal cover, SD card and Satellites, a minute later it flashes Record on the screen… in the background it makes all the changes on phone like screen brightness, time out and flight mode…
