Why can’t you start from the hovering position, then climb to get the shot you want to make, then reverse it in post. It means that you’ll be concentrating on getting the low point correct without being distracted by getting the shot.

GPS accuracy is 3 to 5 metres typically. Anything better is luck or processing. Normal RTH landings use the optical data collected at takeoff to give the almost perfect landings that are achieved. I’d never expect DHP to land the drone.

Only if they are not doing what I want them to do and then it’s probably unrepeatable!!!

If you are going to do this be aware of the security risk to your own data and accounts. I’d suggest that you set up a computer specifically to do this with nothing but operating system and the software needed installed and NOTHING ELSE. Giving remote access to a computer is not something that...

But doesn’t help with the repeatability of the drone at the waypoint due to the inaccuracy of GPS which was the problem the OP had.

Same size, same shape, different weight, different voltage, different power output. So right but so wrong. There is at least one report of a drone losing power in flight and requiring repair while using a mini 3 pro battery.

Many people never seem to RTFM and the software developers change things seemingly on a whim. What if someone who hasn’t updated gets hold of an updated manual or vice versa? They’d expect see one thing and get shown another. Oh, and having accurate specifications in manuals is so out of date...

As said above, think before you update! Mine flies fine without the restrictions that were imposed by later updates to the drone and remotes firmware and the original Assistant 2.

See post #46 on page 3 of this thread. A Mini 5 Pro just ‘dropped out of the sky’ when the Mini 3 Pro Plus battery being used gave up under load. New drone required.

When I see that on an advert I go and look for a different seller. Here in the UK there’ll often be a flat administration fee added to any import fees. Look for somewhere that gives you the price delivered. As for how much you could pay, that depends on what is declared by the seller on the...

If you bring up the radar display showing the drone and homepoint in relation to the RC on the RC or phone screen there is an indication of the strongest signal link shown by the drones icon changing color. Strong link is green, weaker link is blue.

No good using even a standard Mini 4 Pro battery in a Mini 5 Pro, the 4 battery is over 5g heavier than the 5 battery. Definitely take you above the 250g limit.

There is no message shown!

At least one case of damage due to forced landing while using Mini 3 Pro Plus batteries in a Mini 5 Pro. Luckily, DJI have picked up the tab and the user has had a replacement drone. Lower voltage and higher power output from the 5 Pro batteries mean that 3/4 batteries aren’t going to work...

One of my first outings with my Mini 5 Pro but there isn’t a prefix for it. This is more properly, Smitham’s Chimney, and is all that remains of some lead works above East Harptree on the Mendip Hills. This works operated from 1867 to 1875 and the other buildings were demolished in 1876. In...
