    Photos will not cache on Mavic 3 with RC Pro Controller SD Card or not...

    You haven’t heard anything on this? I am unable to view my photos on my Air 2 with smart controller. I can only see the cached videos. Can’t find a fix either.

    Deputy stops drone delivery of contraband into S.C. prison

    I thought the same thing too! Maybe he had tracking on and it followed him until he crashed, that would make a great video haha

    DJI Fly App won't open suddenly

    Since I did the latest update I’ve been getting the message below. If I click “wait” it seems to work. Does the problem look like this or is this different? I am using the smart controller with a Mavic Air 2 and Mini 2

    Deputy stops drone delivery of contraband into S.C. prison

    Interesting article about someone apparantly going to use a uav to infiltrate the prison...they don't say the drone acutally made a drop but it appears that the intent was there...

    No Drone Zone Sign Hawaii ughh

    Made it back! So no signs anywhere near the Waipio Valley area that you show. I was able to get that similar shot but it was a bit windy and intermittently misty so I didn't go out too far. Yeah you absolutely need 4x4, I can't believe you did it on a motorcycle (that's coming from a guy who...

    No Drone Zone Sign Hawaii ughh

    Yeah it’s my first time in SF, it’s pretty packed! Neat city to visit. Alcatraz was cool. I got to fly in Sausalito which was pretty neat, they have a nice harbor area:

    No Drone Zone Sign Hawaii ughh

    Yeah the red are no fly zones. When I turn on the DJI app and the B4UFLY app the red areas show as restricted due to national parks: Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, etc. the state parks come up as yellow zones and an advisory warning not to fly in State/City parks due to ordnances. I met a couple...

    No Drone Zone Sign Hawaii ughh

    Moving on to California on my adventure and once again the west coast strikes! There are signs all over and based on my screenshot you can see there’s practically no place to fly near me. Found one cool spot to fly at though just across the Golden Gate Bridge. It’s a bit overcast but I could see...

    No Drone Zone Sign Hawaii ughh

    So it’s apparently every State park!!! Another one today at a waterfall. The pic is with my phone :( it looks a bit yellowed out maybe because it was overcast and misty?

    No Drone Zone Sign Hawaii ughh

    Thanks to all you looked at the thread. I have another disappointing no drone sign on a Mountain side…here it is but you can go 4 wheeling all over the mountain side?? Go figure.

    No Drone Zone Sign Hawaii ughh

    I’m on the big island. That sign was at Hapuna State Beach. The other pics are from South Point. The southern most point in the USA actually (I thought it was Key West but it’s not). I couldn’t get a ton of pics/video because it was really gusty. One of the most challenging flights I’ve done...

    Smart controller in Authorization zones help

    Not sure if it helps but I had a similar issue and was disconnected from wifi and when my warnings came up on the SC I clicked cancel and had no problem.

    No Drone Zone Sign Hawaii ughh

    It’s so funny you say that because yes it’s a state park and when I went to pay for parking a local guy was like nah you don’t need to pay it’s good. He literally talked to us for a minute and was saying how it’s the States way of ripping everyone off and these beaches and lands are for everyone...
