    Mavic 3 crash into tower, by a student

    Yeah, that was an oversight... The drone was still accelerating, the sticks was reported to be in neutral position, the drone was in waypoint mode & the up/downlink was 100% & collision avoidance was active when it crashed. The log reports Braking 0,2sec after the first crash signs. Nothing in...

    I want to know why my Mavic 2 battery suddenly goes from 70% to 0%.

    As the cell voltages all are above 3,9v (with a minimal cell deviation) when the BMS jumps from 72% to 0% 7min 10,6sec into the flight I would suspect a communication cut off between drone & battery. Have you visually inspected the connectors drone/battery side... any damage or corrosion, did...

    Mavic 4 Pro motor overload and crash - options?

    Yeah sure... But without going into how a IMU (compass, accelerometer & gyro) can get affected by a EMI discharge... note that the moisture in the air is a natural conductor, earthing any potential static charge and thus dissolving static electricity. Relative humidity must be below 40% in...

    Mavic 4 Pro motor overload and crash - options?

    This had nothing to do with any kind of electronic interference... Instead it was likely the weather conditions that first caused the "low vertical limit landings" due to iced up VPS sensors & then later the motor errors together with loss of thrust due to prop icing in the end. The flight...

    Not a clue unfortunately...

    DJI RC 2 Controller Not Showing Display, No USB Detection

    Your picture don't show that you have a detected device connected... top left doesn't have any info. If your device doesn't get detected even though it's connected to your computer & turned on... you have another problem that needs to get solved before you can update the firmware.

    Aperture setting

    Those distances aren't typical when it comes to drone photography... A simple DoF calculator will give you all the answers. Below I've used a Mavic 2 Pro as an example as it have a variable aperture. 10m subject distance with widest aperture setting (f/2.8): DoF near limit 2,43m DoF far limit...

    Need intenet to fly now

    That you couldn't fly at all is strange... usually you will only be limited in height & distance. Below writing in the user manual exist for most DJI models... Did you check in the profile section in the app if you were logged in or not ?

    Air 2 and RTH: can it find its way back at night like it does during the day?

    For your specific question... see post #2. But honestly, you should keep a cool head instead of just reverting to an automated flight mode if you lose track of your drone. Just release the stick as a first step, then switch over to the DJI Fly app map view... Read off the height the drone is...

    Mini 3 slowly turns when hovering.

    Not quite... symptomatic for a IMU in need of a calibration is usually drifting, and that in the approx. same direction (relative the AC), not a uncommanded yawing.

    Consequences of 120m limit removal

    As far as you want... chaos will never ensue due to a negative height, there isn't any hardware or software limit regarding this.

    Aperture setting

    You can with a smaller aperture (less light in) "force" a longer shutter to compensate & by that get a smother video clip by introducing a small amount of motion blur... this is why you might need ND filters on fix aperture cameras.

    Aperture setting

    Both longer focus distances, shorter focal lengths (wide angle lenses) & smaller sensors makes the DoF wider in general... all these factors hugely affect drone photography/videoing, this to the degree that a bigger aperture can't mitigate the generated wide DoF.
