    New Air3S from Japan doesn't have RID# ?

    As far as I know, all Air 3S drones are the same. You cannot fly the Air3S in the US without RID and for this model, it is supposed to have standard RID since in genera, a recent heavy drone cannot ship to the US and force the flyer to rely on attaching a model to comply with the law...

    Blocking state laws (was: We need a drone law similar to this one in Montana)

    Let's see how the courts rules on this. Again, I prefer one set of rules (just like we have with the FAA for our drones) but I can't trust the federal government to do the right thing and/or stay on top of this. I also agree with federal rules over state law but not in lieu of...

    DJI Mini 5 Pro in Amazon. Is this legit?

    Help with unbinding

    Anyone can unbound the device, take a screenshot, and then bound is again but I don't know why they would lock you out on purpose. If the email that is used to bound the drone does not belong to the seller then it is likely a fake screenshot. Otherwise, yes the owner (he) can still unbound it...

    dji rc pro 2 with mini 5 pro

    It will not have any effect on your rc2 but you will eventually need to bind your mini 5 pro with the rc pro 2.

    Want To Buy Mini 5 Pro Drone & Battery Only

    Is there a market for drone only or drone+batter only? I imagine since we can't get Care, people would want to have an extra unit laying around for replacement. I've often imagine buying the combo for the equipment/accessories and selling the drone itself. Thoughts?

    Elise Stefanik will not run for governor and will not seek reelection to her house seat.

    No way for her to defeat the incumbent. NY made their call last month and it was clear. The only thing left for her in government is nominations (from the Trump administration) to various positions (such as ambassador and executive or political agencies) where she doesn't have to run for...

    Where to buy recently released DJI drones from the US (updated daily)

    Back again....now with all-time lowest pricing! And....likely to go even lower over the next few weeks. ;) As in, "we'll let you back into Amazon but you have the rest of 2025 to sell everything you have left and then we are done here." I think the drone is finished, I can't imagine trying...

    Antigravity A1 release date set for Dec 4th.

    For sure, we are being taken advantage of. You have to look really hard for a good deal and even more so if you look outside of DJI drone range (and area I'm not familiar with and therefore less likely to pay the higher price primarily because I'm not getting a superior product to begin with)...

    Antigravity A1 release date set for Dec 4th.

    Small promo currently at Best Buy, the $1999 package now comes with a $100 BBY gc. It's an early look at more possible holiday pricing to come. Still a bit too much for my liking, I would prefer something about $1499 before I bite. Unfortunately it doesn't look like the DJI Avata 360 is going...

    Crystal sky 5.5 or 7.85

    Tripltek is good for compatibility; should work with everything. CS, not. My Tripltek 9 Pro is still pretty awesome but introducing the Tripltek X Pro: https://www.tripltek.com/tripltekx

    Where to buy recently released DJI drones from the US (updated daily)

    I also believe all DJI products have a full DJI warranty to be free of defects and workmanship; however, the process for making a warranty claim is going to be difficult for the US buyers. If you bought your drone from South Korea then you will need to process your warranty thru "DJI Korea"...

    I have a dream.

    I've talked about the government keeping lists quite a bit and unfortunately as long as DJI is on "the [covered] list" I think things cannot be considered normal. As far as I know, there is no way to get off that list just like there is no way for a citizen to get off any government list once...
