I learned the hard way, back in September of '22 when I received the oddly urgent e-mail, to install that "update" to my Mini 3 Pro which force-enabled RID, to carefully examine & closely read the details of any updates, prior to allowing them, rather than simply & witlessly trusting DJI to be...

“Big Brother & the Nanny State” strikes again! “Thank you for purchasing DJI products! Although you spent lots of money, you still don't actually own it, so long as we can control it, what you can buy to use with or on it, how it functions, & where it can go.” From people who grew up in such a...

& I prefer the color black in any plastic that's exposed to the sun, especially if it's safety-related, such as those prop blades. As I've learned & noted from my experience working in the marine technical service field, things like wire (zip) ties will tend to last longest if they're colored...

I prefer mine to be unobtrusive as possible; hence, the black, which goes along with using the "Stealth" or "Super Stealth" prop blades. I like to keep in mind, the wording "visual line of sight". If I keep my UAV from flying behind something that I can't see through, then I'm keeping it...

I did watch a ScrewTube video where someone tested them side by side, although as I recall (I could be in error with the specific Mini model), it was with a DJI Mini 2, & just while hovering. That person noted a 1 minute, maybe a wee bit more, in flight time with the MAS “Stealth” props. I...

There are sometimes sales on the MAS prop blades which make them lower cost than the O.E.M. prop blades. The last time I bought the MAS “Stealth” prop blades, they were on sale, & I did get them for less vs the DJI OEM prop blades. Besides, even if the MAS prop blades were a wee bit more...

It's the transmitter indicator, located in the lower left of the screen, that turns from blue to green when the antenna aim is pointed in the optimum direction to the drone for best signal strength. Also, keep in mind, that the antennae should be oriented 90 degrees perpendicular to the drone...

Now, MAS has come out with their “Super Stealth” blades… DJI Mini 4 / 3 Pro SUPER STEALTH Upgrade Propellers vs DJI Mini 3 Pro / 4 Pro STEALTH Upgrade Propellers (Did I mention, I'm partial to black? Cue the music: Black Magic Woman ) Has anyone found or seen any (noise level) comparison...

I love the green indicator showing the optimal aiming for the strongest signal, & use it regularly. Going off-axis & it changes to blue. I think, as I said above, the aiming might be more important for FPV pilots, as they might be more likely to fly off-axis, & generally tending to fly closer...

Depends on for what you are seeking. To stay <250gm? Then, I'd go for the standard intelligent battery for the Mini 4 Pro — it's lighter than the 1 for the Mini 3 Pro, & has more capacity. For the Plus series, they're both the same.

If this doesn't stray too far from the OP's question... I'm here in the USSA, where the "Plus" batteries are available for the Mini 3 Pro & the Mini 4 Pro as well as the "standard" Intelligent batteries. Since I got the "Fly More Plus" combo, which included 3 of the new "Plus" batteries with...

While I have yet to try my new Mini 4 Pro with the MAS rotor blades, I did have many opportunities to try both the OEM & MAS rotor blades on my Mini 3 Pro. Both UAVs are very similar & take the same blades. Did I use the scientific process, eliminating any other variables, & compare any...

Cross-posted from the DJI forum: Does this also apply to the Mini 3 Pro? I ask, as I have both the Mini 3 Pro, & now the Mini 4 Pro. I haven't flown my Mini 3 Pro in a while, & haven't done any firmware updates since then — several months — but due to my being lax in not reading the details...

Setting aside the factor of distance & ambient sound levels, for camera drones at least, — & perhaps I can only speak for myself & in my decades of experience taking photographs & video from the ground — 1 of the points of doing good photography, is not being part of, nor interfering with the...
