As you’ve found out there are ways around DJI’s edict. I run both go4 and fly on iPads.

That’s the problem, they never really tell you what they’ve updated beyond ‘fixed some bugs’. If you are on an Apple product they’ve just updated iPhone OS which sometimes triggers a go4 update to keep it working nicely. I’m not bothering unless go4 and my mavic pro decide not to play nicely!

Because DJI only recommends their apps for phones not tablets!

That site is so far out of date. More like a history lesson than latest updates!

The thing is that there is nothing different between a C0 Mini 5 and a C1 Mini 5 than a couple of line of code and a sticker. Unless you video at night within a metres of a reflective surface you’ll never see the lights in a video. Also the lights stay on for stills so why not for video?

No, that’s DJI’s doing! Something about the lights not being required under C0 but required under C1 so they turn the off a C0 drones lights during video recording so there isn’t any unwanted light from the rear facing lights showing. Totally forgetting that they’ve marketed the drone as being...

That depends if he’s doing any video recording during flight! C0 in Europe doesn’t need flashing lights then according to DJI.

But the setup for most people playing flight sims and video games would be for the joystick to be on the right with other controls on the keyboard with the throttle represented by 2 keys, the upper to increase throttle, the lower to reduce throttle.

That’ll help RTH!

The ability to reclassify a mini 5 (and 4) pro as C1 would be good as C1 Mini 5/4 Pro continue to show green lights while recording. It really is bonkers that the ability to show green lights while recording is taken away when a Mini 5/4 pro is classified C0. Needless complication!!

Geeksvana covers a lot of this in some recent YouTube releases. There’s also a thread on forum.dji.com with wording from the CAA that corroborates that. Basically, the CAA have seen sense and C labels are recognised. A 253g Mini 5 Pro is classed as sub 250g. BUT, you can’t add 3rd party...

And I’m saying that from past experience I’ve had ‘changes’ applied to my drone and remote control without me authorising a download of any type, firmware, software or database. Hence my caution. They’ve done it before, they’re capable of doing it again.

A little unfair as I don’t have another Mavic Pro that is regularly connected to DJI to compare mine to. Mine does what I want or am allowed within the reg’s to do with it to so I’m happy and I’ll leave it at that.

I never connect the drone to the remote and phone while the phone is connected to the network via mobile or WiFi. Don’t be the first to install any software. There are plenty of guinea pigs out there who will rush to install anything that’s put up. On a drone as old as the Mavic Pro it is...

An unlock code for what? My Mavic Pro flies as well now as it did after the last firmware upgrade I allowed it to download load, maybe better as Superpatcher has been applied.
