    FCC hack Micro B - Type C

    When you connected the working cable did the fcc app offer to launch on its own? I ask because no matter what cable I try, none causes the app to bring up the prompt to launch that I've seen in videos.

    FCC hack Micro B - Type C

    I also have the same problem. I have a Samsung S7 Edge which has a micro USB port. The hack never worked with any cable that I have tried. I tried the DJI supplied usb c to micro usb cable. I tried a gold plated Hama c to b cable. I tried the c to c DJI cable with an adapter. Nothing works...

    Mini 3 Pro completely loses connection to RC controller for good without any reason

    @makla I would be very interested in knowing whether DJI actually replaces the internal boards only of your own drone, versus sending a replacement drone entirely. I had a motor issue sometime ago with my M2 and even though the repair email mentioned they were replacing the motor & cable, I...

    Just grabbed a costco mini 2 bundle out of the box update everything or

    This is a very interesting question and one I’ve come to think about a lot in my line of work. I work as an IT engineer for a very well known computer company and I’ve encountered many cases of people who claim that X update broke Y thing on their device. While there are indeed occasions where...

    Have you upgraded you Mini 2 to 1.04.0000 firmware?

    So, as you may have guessed my replacement Mini 2 came with the latest 1.04.0000 firmware. Turns out the drone was brand new with a product date of 04.2022, which would put it after the release of the 1.4 firmware. Now, one my initial concerns about sending out my drone to DJI was that I didn’t...

    Spectacular DJI customer care.

    Honestly, the replacement-instead-of-repair was the most surprising aspect of the whole experience. We are not talking about 20 euro earbuds here; these drones and sundries cost a small fortune. To see them replaced just like that is truly impressive.

    Spectacular DJI customer care.

    It was just a little token gift really; a small stylish pen with the DJI logo. It was the whole support that mattered and how they went far above and beyond what I would have expected of them in repairing the drone.

    UAV Forecast.

    I would say that it all depends on what you as a pilot are comfortable with handling. Yes, theoretically your UAV setting is right at the limit of the drone's wind handling specs, but I would advise you to lower this limit a bit for now, especially if you are a new pilot, in order to have some...

    MA2 Processor Overheating & DJI Care Refresh Replacement

    If it makes any difference, I just posted a very long winded topic about my experience with DJI's customer support which ended up being incredibly good. I had a hardware issue (stuck motor) which only happened once and was reluctant to send in the drone for various reasons. However, I...

    Spectacular DJI customer care.

    So, some of you may recall that about a month ago I had a problem with the front left motor of my Mini 2 being stuck. I opened a topic about it and i got some great advice, with the general consensus being that I should send it back to DJI to be inspected. I started a case with DJI's support...

    Lost Mini 2 in Fira, Santorini (Greece)

    @Meta4 the OP mentioned something about taking off on a warning zone. Do you think this could have something to do with the Mini not responding eventually to the controls?

    Mini 3 Pro beats Air2S in both photo and video

    Where is now test2000anafi, I wonder, to tell us how much the M3P destroys the Air2S?

    Mini 3 Pro Range Test?

    Where are the antennas located in the M3P?

    Longest Distance Yet Seen.

    Old man Mavic is absolutely right about flying VLOS. However, it is also true that a very good range in general guarantees that when you find yourself in a difficult environment with a lot of interference and/or obstacles, your drone is going to keep a solid connection while working VLOS. I...

    Mini 3 Full Specs Wind Speed Rating Is The Same As The Air 2

    I absolutely agree on the above, 100%. The real question on my mind though is what can be done about it? I can't be alone in feeling that this person's presence and postings on this forum has significantly lowered the quality of conversation of this otherwise awesome and very welcoming...
