So I'm not completely ruling that out (firmware bug). You certainly might have stumbled across some corner case that others aren't, hence only you have consistently encountered this. Again, however, Occam's Razor. Flexing around that crack at the root of the arm is a good explanation for what...

Not giving up that easily 😁 It sounds like the lens mounting inside the frames has changed, with the location and length of the flat alignment edges (those already with lenses know what I mean), or some other fitment issue, has changed. What I understand to be the case is the Integra frames...

I'm not aware of any tool on the PC for creating DJI Fly waypoint missions. Please share!

The answer to this is simple (and incredibly bone-headed, DJI): You have to power up and create your first WP mission in flight. After that, the little WP button on the display will be visible on the LH of the display, and you can make WP missions offline without the drone powered up. You...

Completely understandable. Few products are liked and valued by everyone. It simply would be civil and realistic to demonstrate an understanding of the opposite by his critics. This is not a product review forum, but a place that people come to get help. Pure contrarian responses inform others...

Thanks! Didn't know that. Do you contend there is no possible value, then, in imagery captured near to the subject, particularly for Intel purposes? Seems to me topography, in particular, could interfere with a satellite capturing oblique, side-view images that can only be obtained near by...

Oh, in that case it's not then "a guy who wanted to jerk you around because you were a 'rich plutocrat' with a drone"? That's the means by which we judge the motives of the army dude? They got there fast, and as you guess they were probably watching. You think they were watching because they...

Yes, but not that exceed the resolution and detail that can be captured from far more oblique angles close to the subject. High resolution satellites are limited by their perspective. If you're plotting to blow up a dam covertly, near photography can provide invaluable information for...

I would have. I would also, after being asked, go to detailed lengths to show him how I was deleting the imagery. And be friendly, cooperative, and honest. Show that I'm fully on board with any security concerns that, before he talked to me, I was unaware of. I've found in my long life the...

I would expect nothing less.

So in answer to my question in post #18 is to simply be a Real Photographer when I shoot stills? OK.

Nothing obnoxious about asking questions. Also, nothing to be embarrassed about if you don't know. You may get some answers that are unresponsive and fail to inform, however. Because exposure conditions can change enormously very quickly while shooting video, some exposure automation is...

Real photographers? Like real pilots?

Whether or not it's registered? The total air time of the drone? Two very important things to know. First, you want to make sure the previous owner unregisters it. Second, like a car Odometer, flight time is important in judging the sales value. As for the observations of possible...

No, lights won't work. the OA cameras are wide angle (180° on the latest models), and the small area of illumination near won't cover enough to enable the detection system to work. At the distance limit of OA, something like 45ft, the illumination will be too weak.
