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...

I know where @Camerart is coming from wanting to fly below woodland canopy but not just along paths. Underbrush in woodland can be pretty impenetrable if you are not the size of a small deer and as agile so you can’t walk a camera through it (or retrieve a crashed/hooked up drone). I’m fairly...

Waypoints are normally used in open areas and obstacle sensed will normally stop both 4 and 5. However, if you fly the drone the 5 will sort out a way that will stop the 4 as the lidar sensor is more sensitive than the optical sensors. If you are using the tracking function the 5 is really good...

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.

They haven’t changed the manual yet!

Stunning as usual!

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
