I bet those 16 blinks means something specific, and these warnings are put there for our general safety and benefit, but I have never seen a published list of DJI battery error codes myself. Personally I would have great difficulty trusting a battery that had been fully submerged at any point...

What does the manual say ?! You have read that, right ?!

On a Mini4P Atti is only a mode that it goes into when GPS signal doesn't meet minimum requirements - AFAIK it is not manually selectable using the regular controller / software. However that should not cause you great problems flying indoors IF you do the obvious things before you take off...

Yeah they've improved quite a lot over the years... I don't find there is a need to go anywhere else now. It's one of the few drone resources available that are as focused on where you CAN fly as well as where you can't !

Only of note because it's the biggest area covered by a single NOTAM I have ever seen, but Red Arrows are transiting in South East UK at lunchtime today, and seem to need ALL of the airspace to do it ! :) Fortunately only for half an hour. Posting in case it affects anyone's Sunday flying plans...

I didn't think that was drone-specific - they all use the same software; I am under the impression that all DJI UAVs sign out after (I wanna say) a month or so.

You'll need to check this from other members and manuals etc, but I have a distinct feeling I have read that any obstacle encountered during a waypoint mission results in brake and discontinuation of the mission. I don't think Bypass is available in Waypoint flight. Unsure if that has changed...

Great picture :) As we know, they first blow some hot air up the rear vents of the Mini, which inflates it to 10X size so it's easier to work on. The stethoscopes are essential for checking the heartbeat of the IMU !

Yes that'll be totally fine :) The bugs in that version are few and fairly minor / inconsequential. However, DJI did add a few features since then which are very useful - most notably the ability to look through obstacle avoidance cameras in a secondary screen insert, and, very recently, a...

Interesting - thanks for such thorough supporting media ! If I had to guess (and that's all this is) I would say sand (or similar) in one or more of the gimbal motors. Not enough to prevent movement or give a gimbal motor overload message, but just enough to impede it so that there is a jerk as...

Was expecting big KPs this evening, so popped up to the top field just now to repeat the test above. This time I went to a bigger, more open field than my back garden, and indeed GPS results were correspondingly better. This time we found 20 satellites in the first minute, and they remained...

As I write this (South East UK, 1 pm) KP index currently up in the 8's, the highest I have ever seen it in this country since I started flying ! So I popped outside with my Mini4P to get the lay of the land without actually taking off. And I am glad I didn't. Sitting in my back garden with an...

On UAV forecast, KP is up at 4.67 from tomorrow night and into Monday, though it's higher than 'normal' for most of Sunday too, moreso latterly. Important to remember that KP doesn't just affect the number of satellites that your craft sees, but also may, and I quote 'change the propagation...

As I said in the first post, source not given in any of the footage I have seen.

It's been a terrible day for the people of the village of Blatten in Switzerland, as half the mountain their town sits beneath has fallen off it ! I have been watching the events leading up to this known-to-be-imminent glacier collapse for a week now, and today it dropped the motherload...
