    Frustrated by latest firmware update to Mavic 3 Pro

    I up dated the firmware last night for Mavic 3 Pro and the RC. Now it won't take off. Everything seems right but drone just sits on the ground when I try to take off. Any suggestions?

    First day with Mini 4 Pro. Returning it tomorrow.

    I'd be just as concerned, maybe more concerned about the lack of sharpness. The lens was not properly focused. That usually exaggerates flare with a lens. Some of the angles suggest that their may be something on the lens, grease, finger print??

    Mavic 3 Enterprise with RTK module SOLD

    I ordered this when first available. Did 3 short test flights. I realized that I wasn't going to be able to make it do what I expected so decided to postpone further testing. Now I realize I'll probably never get around to getting things organized. So, you have a chance to get a perfectly new...

    software that runs on Mac for processing map mission photos into 3D model?

    My M3E just arrived and I want to do some testing with 3D mapping. Also received the RTK module but will wait till first tests are complete before figuring out how to use it for greater accuracy. I us Mac computer so apparently the DJI Terra app isn't available. Any other app available without...

    Mini 3 Pro High Res Image setting

    It appears that the high resolution ( 48MP ) setting only works for single exposures. I would like to have it available for AEB shooting as well. Is there anyway to set it as the permanent resolution? Thanks,

    Legality of selling photos taken by drone of privately-owned structures

    Think about flying a drone with camera as a manned camera aircraft like those used for Google mapping. Or the U2 spy plane. The pilot can press the button to take the picture(s) but his pilot's certificate has to have a commercial endorsement if he want's to get paid for the flight. Same plane...

    Legality of selling photos taken by drone of privately-owned structures

    It's a simple difference. The pilot of the helicopter has the FAA pilot certificate. In fact, considering that you are paying him for the flight, it has to be a commercial certificate. Which requires additional training and testing. The FAA is concerned about pilots knowing the rules and being...

    Legality of selling photos taken by drone of privately-owned structures

    To this point it hasn't been mentioned that the drone is in federal airspace when taking the picture of the property. Not sure how that impacts private property protection at a state level. Over the years I've made aerial photographs of a lot of buildings from airplanes, helicopters and drones...

    Mavic 3 won't turn on visual sensors for obstacle avoidance

    I made sure in the setting and switch that it was in Normal or Cini, and that APAS was one, including the radar option. No noticeable dirt or fingerprints were on any of the sensors.z another text flight today, without cleaning the sensors, but confirming the setting and everything worked as...

    DJI Mavic 3 APAS 5.0 - Obstacle Avoidance with a happy ending

    I just went out and did another test flight. All seems to be acting as expected. Visual Sensor icon changed from red to white as UAV got about 6 feet off the ground. Radar arches showed on the display. Here's one of the images from the flight:

    Mavic 3 won't turn on visual sensors for obstacle avoidance

    Sunny or bright overcast. I've flown the UAV several times without a problem then it appeared yesterday and the day before.

    Mavic 3 won't turn on visual sensors for obstacle avoidance

    The last two times I've flown my M3 the obstacle avoidance visual sensors have shown red on the main screen. It still let's me take off, but the red arches are missing on the display when UAV is on the ground and it's not stable in the air. It's only about 3 weeks old to me. I expect this is...
