Hi all. Back again. I was out today at a local reservoir. Minimal wind. Over water, my mini 3 pro, on a couple of occasions, started to drift down and wouldn’t respond to the stick trying to increase altitude. Is my device faulty? I was thinking about upgrading anyway as it’s been two years...

Thanks How do I do so without the GPS location?

What a great tool: DJI Flight Log Viewer | Phantom Help I uploaded the log and saw that it was the wind. I did not see the RC controller flash a wind warning, but clearly the wind warning (in the log file) correlated with where I had lost control. If I had seen the wind warning, I would have...

This is all good feedback, thank you. I understand that the drone is "not rated" for wind, per se. I was just thinking of prior YouTube videos in which folks were able to withstand 30 mph. I chose the wrong syntax. As to reading the wind speed -- I am aware of the ways of reading wind speed...

Hope everyone having a great holiday season. This may have been discussed, but nothing specifically showed up in search, and perhaps we can update some thoughts. I just put my Mini 3 Pro in the air. I knew it was windy (15 mph, according to the Weather App). The controller said nothing about...

I don't have the M4P (yet...), but the Skyreat device on the M3P works perfectly well. Have they produced one yet for the M4P?

The Pilot Institute review is pretty comprehensive and the upgrades are nice, and some are compelling. For me, the waypoints function and full 360 obstacle avoidance are the salient, "drool-inducing" new features. The camera is similar to M3P (which I have). The upgrade path is painful as I feel...

Makes sense since the transmission protocol has advanced. New controller!

As expected. Thanks. what kind of values are we seeing for a trade or private sale of the mini 3 pro with RC?

Haven’t seen yet. Will the RC controller from the Mini 3 Pro work with the 4? I am thinking no, hoping yes.

They really are bright -- blindingly -- even with the semi-opaque shrink wrap. I checked the Amazon answered questions: stays on, see below (copy/pasted from questions): ======================================== Question: Should the shrink wrap on the circuit board and light assembly be...

Thanks. That was my first thought.

Thanks, everyone, for the advice. I received the Vifly. It is blindingly bright (3 miles is a long way to see!). The device is encased in plastic. Is that holding it together, or is it packaging that needs to be removed? Thanks in advance.

Helpful, thank you. I’ll use the Vifly. Less expensive, too.

This is a great thread, thanks. I would like to try some night flights. I have the Mini 3 Pro and I am most concerned about compliance with FAA regulations that require 3 mile visibility. I won't go so far as to lose VLOS. I came across the LumeCube, in addition to the Vifly. Looking at the...
