    Mini 5 Pro at Adorama

    I weighed mine on my coffee scales and depending on which battery (all 3 are normal intelligent rather than plus) 252.2 to 252.7g.

    Mysterious Button

    Not yet. If DJI give it the ability to start the motors prior to takeoff, for instance, it could be a problem. It will then be disabled either in software or by glue.

    Sharing experience with DJI customer service (Drone repair) - Very Positive Outcome

    So go back to your supplier and ask them about support. The Mini 5 Pro hasn’t been released officially in the US because DJI are being denied the ability to support purchasers. Blame your governments.

    No shortage of US-based "authorized DJI partners"

    Doesn’t even need to be a Tesla. Most cars have some form of link back to the manufacturer, some just for turning on and off subscribed updates, others for phoning home in case of an accident. If they offer updates over the air they have access to the cars ECU’s and so can turn the car off when...

    Mysterious Button

    It’s also in a place where it can be pressed by mistake! Let’s hope they add a control to Fly to disable it.

    Firmware update today

    With DJI fly running. Profile, Settings. Partway down the first page (Firmware Updates). They started doing this kind of thing way back with the Mavic Pro firmware.

    Firmware update today

    Have you got Model Auto-Update enabled. That will install model updates automatically that are updates but not full firmware updates. There wouldn’t be a firmware increment for that. I’m never a first day updater.

    Mini 3 slowly turns when hovering.

    Hall sensors rarely wander. If the rc is stored with the sticks fitted and off centre you’ll weaken a spring over time so that physical centre no longer equals electrical centre hence the need to recalibrate.

    If the DJI Fly App is pre-installed on my RC2 controller for my Mini 4 Pro, why do I need a wireless connection to an Android phone?

    You are going to have to look that up to get the whole story but basically the drone will transmit various details about itself, its pilot and positions of both.

    If the DJI Fly App is pre-installed on my RC2 controller for my Mini 4 Pro, why do I need a wireless connection to an Android phone?

    Looking at the RC2 specifications, the only reason that it would need connection to a phone would be to give it internet connection. Disabling mobile data (not near a wifi connection) would sever that.

    If the DJI Fly App is pre-installed on my RC2 controller for my Mini 4 Pro, why do I need a wireless connection to an Android phone?

    If you want to fly a mini 4 pro you have to use DJI fly. If you want to use waypoints the remote needs to know where you are. There is also the waypoint flights in the cloud facility that you might use. I fly with an RC2, it may be connected via wifi to my phone (for location) but the phone has...

    If the DJI Fly App is pre-installed on my RC2 controller for my Mini 4 Pro, why do I need a wireless connection to an Android phone?

    That depends on the data sync settings in DJI Fly and how you have the share location settings in your phone.
