    Exposure lock v initiate tracking

    I can do it more reliably now having used it more to get spotlight tracking.

    Laptop can't read Mini 3 Pro 4k video

    It's probably the 10 bit you might need to record H.264 I can't see it having issues with that.

    Video/memory card problem with my new Mini 3 Pro

    I don't know why there is often resistance to the simple suggestion of regularly formatting in the drone. This is recommended for all cameras. It is not arduous or time consuming you just need to get in the habit of doing it as best practice for trouble free longer term use. The arguments...

    DJI mini 3 pro video transmission is slow

    You might need to update your phone sooner or later but turn off cache to device will help it a lot. Also shut down all other apps, restarting it as you set up would help. I've been in that borderline area before and eventually they updated the app to an even more weighty one and had to get more...

    Exposure lock v initiate tracking

    I might be having brain fade but it seems difficult to tap or tap and hold to initiate tracking because I keep getting exposure lock based on where I tap and no green box. I don't remember it particularly doing that before. Latest app and firmware with RC controller (mini 3 Pro) Feel like it is...

    New DJI Mini 3 Pro update and DJI fly update

    This is true, they have given a few minor improvement carrots to encourage updates over this threshold - after which you can't go back. There is no sensible reason to rush to do this update unlike some previous ones which had actual issues to fix.

    DJI Fly 1.7.8 - adjustable sharpness / noise reduction!

    It could be a feature only usable in China where you can extend the range using 4G or 5G network

    HLG vs DLOG Noise and Image Clarity

    Moot point anyway when Mini3 has neither

    Best 4K settings

    Simply playing it really shouldn't be a problem my 11 year old #2 PC can play it provided I use MPV player. Editing without proxies may be another matter on that one, but would echo you won't be able to play smoothly from a card reader even if it's USB3 it won't be able to transfer data fast enough

    Mini 3 Pro Pitching Forward Instead of Liftng Off

    It could be a faulty IMU so it is misreading its own position and orientation. Calibrating that might be worth a try but sounds like a return to me.

    What’s going on? - Mini3 secretly spied on me

    They need to read his number plate and associate with his face. For reasons.

    What’s going on? - Mini3 secretly spied on me

    You are using the wrong app for mini 3 then. The RC controller isn't able to go online except by phone hotspot and switches wifi off during a flight

    Flying over an arable farm field with my Mini Pro 3

    Just like the National Trust they don't own the airspace so flying at a reasonable altitude above is fine. Be very wary of coming across livestock you couldn't see though, especially horses and to a lesser extent cattle. Also be a little circumspect about showing anything which might be stolen...

    Case or bag or sleeve

    While some flexibility (in case options) is good to have, the fly more bag can't be beat for a compact day trip pack that you hardly notice over your shoulder. I do quite like the idea of an individual clamshell style for drone and perhaps a second one for controller when you just want them in...

    pairing issue

    It might have been the USB lead even a 'good' data cable doesn't seem quite the same as the one they supply.
