    Law Officer Claims My TRUST DOCUMENT Fake?

    Exactly this. Did you think that somehow this TRUST document was going to make you look "Official" or "Authoritative"? Anybody who sees that card would think that it's a joke and anybody who knows how easy it is to obtain one, will KNOW it's a joke" I predict that no LEO will ever seriously ask...

    Question about the new rules, with diagrams :)

    Thank you. I'm happy to hear the answer, but even more, I appreciate you explaining it in a way that I completely understand. I never go over 400 feet, I stay close to the ground like a good chicken should

    Question about the new rules, with diagrams :)

    I live near Chicago. Based on this map, I don't live in the red or green zones. However, I believe I am in Class E5 Airspace, layers added in the image on the right. I've been flying from my house for years now. I haven't flown in a while. When I go to fly, based on the new rules, am I...

    MP Pro Apparently no Camera/Gimbal Connection

    I contacted DJI Care and they basically suggested the same things. The one thing they added was to try updating the RC by plugging into the PC. I didn't know that was a thing I could do, or maybe I did a long time ago. Nevertheless, it didn't work. I tried late Sunday night and the failures were...

    MP Pro Apparently no Camera/Gimbal Connection

    Well, I hooked my MP to my laptop, new computer, new dji assistant install, and new cable. I was able to see the previous versions. At least I could do that. I attempted a refresh again of the current version, and that failed I did a factory reset, it seemed successful but it didn't change...

    MP Pro Apparently no Camera/Gimbal Connection

    Thank you for this. Once, I updated DJI Assistant, I was able to see previous versions. I tried to refresh the current version, and that failed. Then I tried to downgrade to another version, that failed too. Now, I want to try a factory reset, but I can't get the PC to recognize it now (which...

    MP Pro Apparently no Camera/Gimbal Connection

    When I use the DJI Assistant, it doesn't populate the list of previous versions. I tried doing a factory reset and that reports as failed. Can it be reset from the controller?

    MP Pro Apparently no Camera/Gimbal Connection

    I haven't flown in a while, a couple of days I updated everything, but I didn't fly. Today, when trying to demo it for a friend, it worked as far as flying, but I could never get it to really recognize the camera. The Shutter speed, EV, and all camera settings showed N/A. It showed no SD card...

    Got This Today...."Has your DJI Care Refresh Expired? Don’t Worry!"

    Thank You. This is the kind of experience I was wondering/worried about. I may give it a go, at least I am prepared.

    Got This Today...."Has your DJI Care Refresh Expired? Don’t Worry!"

    Got This Today...."Has your DJI Care Refresh Expired? Don’t Worry!" email from DJI. At first, I thought great, I can cover my MP for $80 for another year. Did anyone here do this? I also hear stories of disappointment with DJI Care Refresh. Eventually, the cost-benefit analysis will make this...

    RTH. Is this something you use?

    If I understand you correctly, I think you're saying what I tend to believe. RTH, whether using the Smart RTH or lost connection/depleted battery RTH, is adding another link of complexity in the chain of trouble. Why use it unless circumstances call for it. This is anecdotal, but the only...

    RTH. Is this something you use?

    I absolutely agree. Especially with the idea of testing it periodically because the one time I needed it it came through and I'd be screwed without it. It's just I never want to use it unless it's necessary because I enjoy flying it back home and the thought of putting on autopilot doesn't even...
