    Drones after storage

    I had similar issue. Download DJI Fly App DIRECTLY from DJI (it is no longer available on App store for Android or Apple). Select your drone from the drone list and it will let you know that a firmware update is necessary. Perform the update and your drone will be ready to connect and fly. This...

    No DJI drones anywhere???

    So am I understanding correctly what I am reading from this thread? People are buying DJI drones and they are being confiscated by U.S. Customs? Is this story more of a "one off" or is this happening all over the USA?

    Drones after storage

    I just recently took my drone out of storage. I discharged my batteries before I did so. I have since been told that this was the wrong thing to do and that what I should have done is maintain a 50% charge in them during storage. However, I can report I had no problem at all recharging and...

    Should I even be flying this old Mavic Mini?

    I flew it for the first time again several times in Maine, and as you said it was just as reliable and easy to control as I remembered. It really was the original game changer drone.

    Should I even be flying this old Mavic Mini?

    I didn't but clearly SHOULD have known this. Good news is I flew quite a lot in beautiful Maine. All three batteries charged well and I did not have any issues other than having to update the firmware for the drone and I think the controller.

    Should I even be flying this old Mavic Mini?

    What I meant was that I completely discharged all three batteries before I put them in long term storage.

    Should I even be flying this old Mavic Mini?

    Hi All, I am taking a Trip to Maine soon and I haven't flown my old Mavic Mini in over a year. I have a new phone since I last flew and when I went to Download the DJI fly app it was no longer available on the Google play store. Through DJI website I did in fact manage to download it after...

    Flying in Paris

    When I was in Bordeaux I took a tour of a Chateau and asked and was given permission to fly over the vineyards. The only stipulation is that they did not want me to fly near the actual Chateau. So I didn't. However Paris is a very different animal. I have been many times. Do not try to fly your...

    I had an interesting visit from the police the other day.

    My avatar is my filming of one of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen. I took it in Thailand. Of all my travels Thailand was by far the most fascinating I have experienced. I flew my drone only when I was a guest at an island resort. Nobody seemed to mind. Just the usual curious...

    Is this Legal? Looking for opinions

    I so agree with you and notice the very same behaviors on this forum. Someone always plays the drone police no matter what you post. Also dare you comment on anything here that does not specifically say "drone" in it and they delete what you wrote. I have also seen that "Honey Badger" video and...

    Watch how Amazon is preparing for safe drone delivery

    They will have to establish a heliport for the drones and dispatch from a central location. Imagine all the factors for a truck and crew to drive to a general location and be responsible for drone launches. Truth is the delivery of packages by drones is merely one of the technologies emerging...

    Watch how Amazon is preparing for safe drone delivery

    Surprised at the size of those drones. But amazing concept. Clearly can't see them pulling it off in dense cities though. This looks like a rural America implementation only.
