    Went from Air 2s to mini 4 pro - BIG MISTAKE!

    Yes, they are blessed with photographic ignorance.

    Went from Air 2s to mini 4 pro - BIG MISTAKE!

    You can buy Air2S for dirty cheap from Europe, as they became legacy drones and are pretty much useless (banned anywhere near civilization). On the other hand, Mini 4 Pro comes with waypoints. I would not consider anything without waypoints anymore. Flying with waypoints is a gamechanger. You...

    An expensive privacy lesson

    Neighbor coming to my door, check. I was preparing to send my DJI Mini 3 Pro to DJI for a warranty fix/replacement due to jello effect in videos shot in orbit, maximum speed in sport mode. I lifted the drone above my house and did a full speed orbit at an altitude of about 47 meters. The drone...

    pros and cons of the new mini 4 pro

    I just flew the Mini 4 Pro at the same location with Mini 3 Pro, in a highly wifi polluted area. OS4 is a significant upgrade over the OS3. The signal remains strong where the OS3 would turn red and initiate RTH. Very happy with the Mini 4 Pro upgrade. It burns through the plus batteries a...

    Using waypoints created on Mavic 3 Classic with a Mini 4 pro

    I found the problem. The drone maximum height was set to 120m and I had a waypoint set to 123 m. As soon as I increased the maximum height for the drone, the waypoints worked. There is a very small difference between the images shot with Mavic 3 Classic (FOV 84 degrees) and Mini 4 Pro (FOV...

    Using waypoints created on Mavic 3 Classic with a Mini 4 pro

    Waypoints were between 40 to 90 meters. Well below any limit of the area or the aircraft. I created a new set of waypoint in more or less the same location and using the exact same take off point and it worked perfectly. Waypoints created with Mavic 3 Classic, refused to work.

    Air 3 or Mavic 3 Classic?

    I did :) Anyway, just saying, don't be so sure about what other people will or will not enjoy.

    Air 3 or Mavic 3 Classic?

    That's the beauty of living in regions like USA or European Union. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

    Air 3 or Mavic 3 Classic?

    Cameras on Air 3 are like toys compared to the Hasselblad on the Mavic 3 Classic. I had an Air 3 and I returned. Big disappointment in photographic quality.

    Using waypoints created on Mavic 3 Classic with a Mini 4 pro

    I tried today to use the waypoints on a mini 4 pro and I get the message: maximum altitude reached, waypoints stopped. It looks like I will have to start from scratch.

    Using waypoints created on Mavic 3 Classic with a Mini 4 pro

    I can use the same Android phone to fly both drones, no need to move the waypoints. I will purchase the mini 4 pro and give it a try.

    Search and Rescue

    Why "descend as far as safely possible"? What's wrong with taking the shot from high above?

    Search and Rescue

    You put the cross-hairs on the subject looking vertically down.

    Search and Rescue

    Take a photo with the drone. Then you can look up the exif of the photo for the GPS coordinates.
