Very little good asking DJI for anything even on their own forum. They just refer it to their team and nothing ever gets done!

Whatever!!

I wouldn’t put my true location on a map that is openly available!

The reason I rarely use RTH by choice is the amount of noise the remote makes while RTH is in progress. If it’s an unexpected RTH I can understand it, but I pressed the button and confirmed it. Why all the noise?!!!

The moment you add anything that isn’t mentioned in DJI’s list of authorised accessories (page 86 of the Mini 5 pro manual) it takes the drone outside of the certification scheme and it becomes legacy so if over 250g is limited to flying away from people and buildings so what is the point. DJI...

Pretty sure that is not correct. Yes you can fly a C1 marked drone in A1, so Air3 S, but not an unmarked drone above 250g but below 900g like an Air2, so no, the Mavic Pro, a legacy drone, is sent back to the countryside. If that had been made clear before the Mini 5 Pro was released I’d not...

Not true, the Mavic Pro has a precision landing system. It just isn’t as developed as later drones but with a landing pad was certainly capable of landing within inches of its takeoff point.

Yes, but you sending them the data is easier for them than sifting through the terabytes of data they must collect every day!

Nobody unless I act like a d1*k. But here in Europe drones are certified as a system, DJI declare approved accessories (look in the manual, they are listed) and the moment you add an unapproved accessory your drone falls out of certification and the open class we fly under. Flying a drone...

Not necessarily, they probably only go through flight data if they are trying to find the cause of a loss, (or the PRC Army have asked them for some specific information).

Probably because the OP has opened a case about his various drone losses. They (DJI) will want to make sure they have all the data they can get from the RC as both drones are total losses.

As others have said, if it’s not about to fly, flying, or just landed the gimbal cover will be on. It protects both lens and gimbal and takes seconds to attach so why not! If you want awkward, try the Mavic Pro gimbal holder! Mini 4/5 Pro is a doddle compared to that!

Don’t be so ***** petty. The Mini 3/4/5 aren’t even Mavic’s, the Mavic part of the name being dropped years ago.

From the bottom of this very page

Compass and GPS are two different systems but I believe they have to agree as to what direction the drone is moving. My understanding was that the toilet bowl flyaway was caused by the inability of the gps derived heading to agree with the compass derived heading due to the miscalibration of the...
