First day with DJI Mini 3 Pro. Son in law gave it to me to figure out, because he doesn't have the patience. It is new, and has been flown by someone else, but is new to me. I have only flown HolyStone drones. Following the QUICK START video, I have these issues:
1. After I get to the READY to TAKE OFF message, I press the take off button and hold it but nothing happens.
2. It apparently needs a software update, and I don't know if that would prevent it form taking off, but when I try to download software using my iPad, it asks me for a password to the drone. I don't know where to get that password.
3. I don't know if the drone is registered or if that would prevent it from taking off, but on power up it never gives me an opportunity to register, so I assume it's already registered.
4. Tried re pairing controller to drone, but pairing just timed out.
5. Sometimes I get error on controller that controller is not connected to drone, On other attempts I don't get that message, and have green LED on controller left LED, so just assume it IS connected on those instances.
6. I do get motors to move momentarily during start up, but they NEVER start spinning.
7. I have seen these errors: Sensor error, IMU Hardware malfunction. GPS Signature info not found. Gimbal unable to connect. Data Acquisition error. GPS Module not connected. Unable to take off. All of above with drone sitting on ground right next to controller. Tried all start up sequences both indoors and outdoors. Drone shows no evidence of crash or physical damage.
Son in law says he's ready to return it since it's new, gave it to me because at least I have flown 1 drone before.
