    Birds

    None. I attribute that to a mixture of the bird's caution and my evasive tactics. Clearly you could speculate that the birds were just trying to scare the drone away, and would not have actually hit it if I'd just ignored them. But that's not a view I'd recommend or condone. I've seen birds...

    Birds

    I have definitely had birds attack my quadcopters dozens of times (over about 15 years of flying). The easy ones are actively nesting birds, like swallow, kites, and some sea birds, but they give up easily when I fly away from their nests. The more problematic birds have been raptors, such...

    Close Call

    This is probably stating the obvious, and I'm pretty sure that you (GFields) and the other contributors to this thread already know this. But if someone new to waypoint mission setup were to read the above, they might get the mistaken impression that one can create a safe, obstacle-free mission...

    DJI Waypoints Repeatability Test - Logs vs Real Flight Path (Mini 5 Pro & Mavic 3 Pro)

    I was not aware of the new "DJI Engine" option in Litchi's Mission Hub. Thanks for letting me know. I'll check it out.

    DJI Waypoints Repeatability Test - Logs vs Real Flight Path (Mini 5 Pro & Mavic 3 Pro)

    My apologies regarding the speed issue. I missed that you had waypoint-level speed overrides. In light of that, I agree that the timing issue is less significant than I claimed. My bad.

    DJI Waypoints Repeatability Test - Logs vs Real Flight Path (Mini 5 Pro & Mavic 3 Pro)

    I watched the video in the original post with considerable interest, and was quite surprised (and disappointed) to see a glaring issue in the testing procedure that no one has mentioned so far (as of the time of this comment): The "footage" that is compared toward the end of the video is...

    M4P Geo Fence

    Did updating your Fly Safe database fix the problem? As you probably know, DJI stopped enforcing No Fly Zones in the US several months ago, and the expected behavior is that you can fly anywhere, although you may need to acknowledge a warning first. I have a lot of experience with this: I have...

    Introducing MavenRoute – A New Web Mission Planner for DJI Drones

    My pleasure. I've run several startups, and was always glad to get input from customers that helped me to understand their perspective, especially if it required me to shift mine. That will be awesome. Looking forward to that. Is there a place I can sign up to be notified of that? Or perhaps be...

    Introducing MavenRoute – A New Web Mission Planner for DJI Drones

    Looks cool, and I'd love to try/use it. Unfortunately it is not compatible with the drones I would like to use with it (ideally Mavic 4 Pro, but even working with my backup Mavic 3 Pro or Inspire 2 would be nice). Also, since you asked for feedback, here's a bit of hopefully constructive...

    frustrated plus

    Rabbit hole aside, will connecting the drone to Assistant 2 really help here? The OP says "my drone logged out I can't log in on the controler screen". Isn't the login state associated with the runtime environment of the controller software, rather than the drone itself? If so, I don't see how...

    Another moire question...

    From YI is possible that the banding visible in your screen capture is a display artifact caused by the way the image file is being rendered by your display software, rather than a problem within the image file. To check, try zooming in and out while viewing the file. If the bands shift around...

    Customs problems resolved?

    Thanks. I was not trying to trick dji.com into shipping me a product in the US. I was comparing how product availability on dji.com differs if I access it from a US IP Address vs one from Canada or the UK, to gain some insight into DJI's current policies.

    Customs problems resolved?

    msinger: I have been buying DJI drones from the store at dji.com for over a decade, accessing it using a US IP address and shipping address; everything from Inspires (1 and 2) to Airs, to Mavics. I used to be able to do this even when the products were not yet in the US. Those products have...

    Customs problems resolved?

    I just accessed the store at dji.com from my home in the US, and all drones are listed as Out of Stock. I then used my VPN to access the dji.com store through other countries like the UK and Canada, and everything is In Stock and estimated to ship in a day. That 's one way to resolve the US...

    Mandated National Security Risk Assessment of DJI drones

    No need to wait until Dec 31 to feel the effect of misguided policies on DJI product sales in the US. Witness Mavic 4 Pro, and even Mini 4 Pro challenges. It's a mess already. Regarding "head in sand" comments above: Maybe true for some people. But failing to post about something here is not...
