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.

Did you try flying a couple of times with the standard battery. I thought I read that it takes a few flights to reset to the lighter battery.

Not found anything in my use and I don’t have a neo2 so pointless for me. I too don’t like “fixed known bugs”! In the past that was corporate speak for “slipped in another restriction” and so I attempt not to be the first (by a long way) to install any updates.

Thanks for that. I was just giving an option in case the DJI manuals were blocked at the OP’s location for some reason.

You are welcome. Let’s hope it works! DJI Fly needs its own “how to use app”. Enter drone, firmware version, fly version, and it comes up with the manual for that combination.

Fire up DJI fly and the drone. Connect to the drone so you can press the … in the top right. Go to the camera page. Scroll right to the bottom of the page. There should be a setting there for enabling quick transfer in sleep. It doesn’t appear for a mini 4 pro which doesn’t have standby mode but...

Well, that’s what that sequence of flashing lights mean, according to the manual and the video shows it exactly as described by the manual. It’s similar to both the mini 4 and 5 pro sequence. If there is something wrong with a DJI battery it will let you know, normally by repeatedly flashing a...

Doesn’t anyone read manuals any more?

And after flying one of those around a house it will make a gps/visual positioning drone a doddle to fly.

An explanation from Wikipedia….. Digital zoom is a method of decreasing the precise angle of view of a digital photograph or video image. It is accomplished by cropping an image down to an area with the same aspect ratio as the original, and scaling the image up to the dimensions of the...

Agreed, and what I do with my Mini 5 Pro at takeoff, but @Camerart is flying a Mini 4 Pro, doesn’t have dynamic RTH and might not have got into the routine of constantly updating the home point as he’s cycling, not walking.

If you are going to crop a still image from a drone be aware that the .jpegs are quite heavily processed which gives them an artificial, almost “painted” look. You’d be better off taking a look at and processing .dng files as you’ll have all the data from the sensor to work with.

But remember, low battery RTH is still RTH.

What ⬆️ said. I’d rather crop an image than zoom in digitally.

I thought I’d use hard cases for my first 2 drones. I never did! The cases are covered in dust even though the drones were pretty well used. I haven’t bothered with hard cases for Mini 4 or 5 Pro. If I’m out with both they fit in the Mini 5 pro fly more soft bag, otherwise they’ll just take up...
