    Never expected this damage

    they would just need to replace the scratched unit, that would cost around 60 bucks in parts HOWEVER You have a new Drone under Warranty so I would not try to fix it yourself. If the sensor starts acting up I would certainly return it for repair, If you ignore the problem and it does cause a...

    European visiting the Canada and USA

    In the U.S. you MUST have your T.R.U.S.T. Card. Here in California they WILL ask for it! ( the only legal way they can tell you to stop is NOT having the card.) As long as you are not using the drone for Business you will NOT need to register it. Just make sure that the drone does indeed pass...

    Not a narc, too good not to share.

    CHURCH!!! lol I have an Air2s that when cleaned looks brand new- The motors should fail from use at anytime. It is almost ready to be a "parts" Drone worth a few hundred bucks in reality. The only thing keeping me from selling it on Ebay as"like New" and getting more money is my own Morals.

    Air 3 Classic gives the following error message when I try to upgrade the firmware Additional 481 MB is required for the upgrade. Free up space

    are you getting an option to choose the port the firmware is loading is it different than the SD Card? If you remove the SD and you get a no drive found error thats probably it.

    Just ordered my Mini 4 Pro (Refurbished) with a 5 week shipping estimate

    I can get those same quotes from CamRise in New York.

    Never expected this damage

    That could very well effect the sensor Most likely you would start seeing your drone may not want to takeoff if it has any effect, and it just may not. I would check carefully for errors from this point and if you get an error that wont let you takeoff then I would send it to DJI. You can check...

    Our concerns are going... mainstream? Article in Reason.

    Interesting- They show Hollywood and Burbank as controlled zones I am not sure what that means- In the city of Hollywood and most parts of Burbank, You Cannot fly a drone, they are not allowed to be flown anywhere in the town of Hollywood not even the Parks. . Anaheim is Disney, SO unless you...

    new pilot woes

    Welcome to the Forum: Well- I wish you would have come to the forum sooner. You said you Purchased the Mavic 3 for business and to use with Litchi.:. It is well known that DJI will not release series 3 SDK and that Litchi is off the Table. Research is your friend in the Drone universe. there...

    Gross negligence in South Florida

    Good lesson.. In many ways here JR. our "hero" violates many laws ( If it was a dji he was using a camera equipped drone to fish in Florida ( Not Legal in that State !!!). To punish himself JR then attempts a hand landing that goes terribly wrong. ( but probably a little humorous for those who...

    Dji drones reliability

    DJI would have sent you a refurb (as good as a brand new drone) for half price! If my business was repairing drones I would highly recommend my service against DJI's as well. He gave you a used gimbal. gimbals are very sensative but unless you pinched it and held it tight while it initiated...

    2nd hand Mini 3 Pro remote ID broadcast

    If you don't register the drone then the RID number CANNOT be traced back to you. Its not like the drone somehow displays its purchase info. However the number will be displayed SO I suppose if they somehow took your drone read its RID number thru an application and then checked all rid numbers...

    Dji drones reliability

    Was this a DJI repair? I own an Air 2s that should have given out a year ago from overuse IT will not die. Gimbals are tricky and other than just replacing the whole thing I tend to pass and refer the person to DJI. If this was NOT a dji repair perhaps the person did not run the calibration...

    2nd hand Mini 3 Pro remote ID broadcast

    As long as you DO NOT tape your wallet to your drone you wont be tracked lol. The RID number your drone transmits is simply that- A number BUT now what they CAN do is prove you are a repeat offender and therefore deserving of the FAA's STEEEEP fines, simply by putting your RID number into a...
