    DJI Mini 5 Pro question

    The mini 5 pro fly more package contains an RC 2, not pro at all.

    Mini 5 Pro at Adorama

    If you bought the drone from Amazon/Adorama your beef is with them, not DJI. Amazon/Adorama will have to at least honour whatever legal minimum warranty sales law gives you. And there’s been enough written on these forums for any reader to realise that care refresh isn’t going to be available...

    air 3s firmware 01.00.1400 fixed known issues?

    If it isn’t broken, don’t try to fix it! Unless there is either a guaranteed fix for something that isn’t working that I need, or a shiny new feature that I couldn’t do without I try to resist loading new firmware before allowing others to thoroughly test it for bugs and new unwanted restrictions.

    Accurate repeated waypoint routes

    Some gps devices aquire ephemeris files giving information on positions of satellites. I’m not going to try to explain it, but yes, the orbits and positions of the gps satellites can be predicted. But, the drone altitude is calculated by the drone’s barometer and is never going to be absolutely...

    Has anyone successfully rolled back Fly

    It is possible. How depends on the controller you are using. RC2-Nx would be on the phone/tablet. RC2 needs Assistant 2 for consumer drones on a PC/Mac

    Accurate repeated waypoint routes

    The compass has nothing to do with gps positioning so I wouldn’t bother calibrating it before each flight unless the app requires it and even then I’d shut the drone down and move it and check again before calibrating. The accuracy of gps positioning and therefore waypoint positioning has more...

    Pro4 mini Waypoints and obsatcle avoidance

    Hi C Make sure you have a read of the waypoint flight section of the manual. If the drone senses an obstacle during a mission, it will just hover. If it loses signal I don’t know what it will do. If DJI have lumped Dorset into the EU (probably) the drone will not continue the mission, if Dorset...

    Pro4 mini Waypoints and obsatcle avoidance

    Pretty sure they can be edited as there is a version of Litchi which allows you to create a flight then upload it to the mini 4/5 pro’s.

    Trying a heli

    But I certainly wouldn’t be tempted to start that up indoors so I won’t be at home! Which is my beef with RID!

    Need Battery Codes for Mavic 4 Pro

    Something else to remember is that DJI have a habit of resetting any timers when buttons are pressed. So while waiting for the 12 hour countdown for standby mode to turn off, if you pressed the power button to check if standby mode was still on, what you really did was to extend the time standby...

    Does anyone here fly their drone?

    Each to their own. If we were all the same the world would be boring. While I can see the point of waypoint missions in getting reproducible flights, pictures and videos, if they can’t even get file renaming right, who’s to know what else they’ve got wrong? We know they’ve got the green flashing...

    Does anyone here fly their drone?

    I think he’s classing using automated flight such as the use of waypoints as flying your drone. To me, that is only flying the drone once and then letting some software do the flying while you twiddle your thumbs and being bored as he’s wittering on about the same DJI software not doing what he...

    Trying a heli

    So now look what you’ve gone and done!🤣 Back before quad’s were a consumer thing I bought an Align T-Rex 450v2, put it together, fitted the electronics of the day to it and NEVER flew it. Why? Because when I went and practiced on the recommended simulator, I could never land the “thing” without...

    Does anyone here fly their drone?

    I’ve owned drones since 2016 and yes I fly them, in that I normally rarely use the various quickshot offers or even RTH. No, I’ve never ever used waypoints so wouldn’t be aware of problems with them.
