    Of course, but I was just hoping that someone here had already bought it, or knows for certain, and could verify.

    DJI Mini 3 Pro bundle from Costco

    Yes, I know what the text says and what the picture shows. My question is, does it come with three batteries total? Does it normally come with one battery and it come with two more for a total of three? Or does it just come with two batteries? I’ve been bitten by weasely marketing words in the...

    See my Mini 2 easily

    That has not been my experience. I have found the prism tape applied to the trailing edges of the arms and the battery door to reflect the sun very nicely and allow me to very quickly locate my UAS, with the obvious caveat that the sun needs to be shinning. But certainly everyone should do what...

    What is this button on the Underside of the Mini 2?

    Small landing pad for Mini 3 Pro

    County Park’s UAV Rules - are these “Reasonable?”

    PA has a preemption law for UAV’s so only the state legislature can enact restrictions. You can’t fly (take off/land) in PA state parks except in designated areas of 5 specific parks. Except for FAA restrictions local and county parks are fine.

    What is this button on the Underside of the Mini 2?

    Did you actually RTM…page 12 has a line that actually points right at it and states “Aircraft Status Indicator/Quick Transfer Button” and then page 13 describes how to use it…seemed pretty clear, but maybe that’s just me.
