    Trying a heli

    Acttually DJI's first product was a heli controller that did all of this, back in 2010 (Ace One) before any multicopter stuff. Also released a Naza-H and Wookong-H a couple years later. But multicopters are just so much better in basically every way in terms of utility/reliability that they've...

    DJI self-heating battieres

    It is drawing power from them, just to power a heater in the battery's packaging.

    Camera strangeness

    It's only got a single camera. You get nothing but a "digitally zoomed" crop when you zoom in the app. RAW gives you the whole sensor, even if the embedded preview might be cropped as requested. I.e. crop again in LR.

    Is the Mini 5 Pro a sub-250g drone?

    Looks like it, guide's gone from the site. Probably got slapped that they can't do that by the EASA...

    Is the Avata 3 / 360 one drone FPV & 360 but above 250 g

    Question is why do you think having a 360° camera would prevent it from doing FPV? It's probably in FPV-style flying that a 360° camera is most useful.

    Is the Avata 3 / 360 one drone FPV & 360 but above 250 g

    Yup, Avata line is more capable but can't stay below 250. Got a viable option for sub 250 with the Neo 2 now.

    Consequences of 120m limit removal

    Point is that drones are only allowed up to 120m, manned aircraft only down to 150m, so there is never any interferernce possible if respected in normal operations with a nice buffer zone nobody gets in. Obviously both occasionally blow their limits, but if an accident happens the drone pilot...

    LiPo info

    I usually just cut off and replace the connector. Note that the battery will likely be almost twice the weight which the heli may not appreciate in many different ways.

    Consequences of 120m limit removal

    Flying above 120m requires you to request autorization to do so in any case. You can't apply for that without a license so the limit for unlicensed C0 aircraft is 120m. You can switch it to C1 to remove that, but then legally need to be licensed and request authotization when you want to fly...

    California officials used drones to track addresses allegedly tied to fireworks

    I think you're getting through, just people again don't agree with you. It seems an offence was committed. Does the Constituiton specifically say that a police officer should see the offence directly through their own eyes to be able to prosecute it instead of seeing it on a screen through a...

    California officials used drones to track addresses allegedly tied to fireworks

    In that example in the OP it looks like the government/police both enforced a reasonable law and did so with the tool that was most effective at doing so. So what's your point? That having the ability to do the right thing means the wrong thing could be done too? If so you don't need drones for...

    Will the Neo2 have RID?

    How would we know?

    DJI refuses to unbind pre-owned Mini 3 Pro – despite legal purchase and repair

    If you have the the original purchase receipt with the SN on it and it was never marked as stolen yes. That still means a large number of phones ending up as bricks and people buying phones they won't be able to use because the original receipt is lost/not transferred. There is a procedure to...

    DJI refuses to unbind pre-owned Mini 3 Pro – despite legal purchase and repair

    Apple's orders of magnitude larger and has been doing that for more than a decade without consequence, I wouldn't expect a few drone users to have more weight than >50% of the smartphone market.

    Where to buy standard batts?

    The drone won't know you modded it to be under 250 so it'll still send.
